Virtually Unbreakable.

The most indestructable thermoplastics have been used to create this product - view the hammer test video on our site to see for yourself how strong these slates are.

Extremely Lightweight.

Our slate weighs about 1/4 of the weight of natural slate per square metre and requires no extra roof supports for installation, saving you time and money!

Fade-resistant.

The UV protection and colour-through process leaves you with a roof that will remain unaltered in appearance decades after installation.

Maintenance free.
