Upgrade your roof with these grey-coloured Eco Slate Recycled Plastic Slate Roof Tiles, a practical and environmentally friendly solution for any building project. Designed to create the look of authentic natural grey slate, these lightweight tiles create a charming aesthetic that will complement roofs with pitches as low as 10°.
Each pack comprises 16 slates, providing 1m² coverage (seven slates per linear metre). At only 5mm thick, these lightweight 700g tiles are easy to handle during installation, saving you time and hassle. Standout features include their flexibility, allowing you to use them in valleys and ridges without custom-made accessories. Thanks to their recycled plastic construction, you can also cut them to size with a simple utility knife or a set of snips.
The self-bonding nature of these slates creates a strong and pliable membrane, offering excellent wind and weather resistance even at low pitches. Installation is straightforward, fitting directly onto a plyboard or oriented strand board (OSB) without the need for roof battens.
Covered by a 50-year warranty, these slates have undergone rigorous testing, withstanding winds up to 110mph and earning a Class 4 impact rating. They are fire-resistant and compliant with the BS476: Part 3: 2004 standard, boasting a Class 'A' rating. By choosing these Eco Slate tiles, you benefit from a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional slate, allowing you to enjoy the same aesthetic appeal while embracing their lightweight, flexible, and unbreakable design.

Question:
I have a single pitched roof in a reasonably protected location. The pitch is a shade over 11 degrees. The current roof is slate. We are getting increasing water ingress at the slope top where it adjoins a wall. The flashing has been replaced but the problem still exists. A roofer has suggested that as the roof is at such a shallow pitch, capillary action of the water is causing the water ingress. Would the ECO slate roof tile prevent this capillary action? The house is listed hence is the appearance of the tile the same as slate?
Answer:
Eco slate can be installed to a low pitch but does need to go down onto a fully boarded roof, to check it meets planning approval in your area you can always orders a sample from the link below.
