Before use, these slates must be stored above 7°C for 24 hours. They can be installed at 0°C but must be hand fastened. You can cut them with various tools, including a fine-toothed handsaw, jigsaw, circular saw or sharp utility blade. For a secure installation, you will require a 12mm roofing board or standard roofing batten and two 30mm x 4mm head stainless steel screws to fix each slate. Each slate will have a nominal weight of 0.675kg, with a total of 14.85kg per pack of 22 slates.

These slates are suitable for use on roof pitches from 14° up to 90°. Between 14° and 22.5°, they must be boarded only with a 152mm gauge and 22 slates per m². For 22.5° pitches and above they can be installed with boards or battens. From 22.5° up to 25°, the gauge should be 152mm with 22 slates per m². From 25° up to 27.5°, a 165mm gauge with 20 slates per m² is required. Between 27.5° and 30° the gauge will be 178mm with 19 slates per m², while above 30° will require a 191mm gauge with 18 slates per m².

Please note:

Our slates are typically delivered on a six-wheeled lorry (11m long and 2.4m wide) with a tail-lift facility and pump truck to offload on solid, level ground. Non-compliance with delivery restrictions may result in additional delivery charges. If you specifically require a crane or small vehicle offload, please notify us at the same time of placing the order, as an extra charge may be incurred.
Please allow 5% extra in the ordered quantity to cover acceptable breakage in transporting natural slate products.
