Each slate features a production-induced camber to help protect your slates from wind uplift and also help them to follow your roof's contours when installing. They are easy to handle and can be fixed using a traditional hammer and nail method or a nail gun. Thanks to their synthetic, recyclable construction, they ensure no breakages, wastage, drilling or sorting is required.

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, these synthetic TapcoSlates have excellent weathering characteristics, meaning they will not curl, lift or delaminate over time, providing a consistent, attractive appearance for years to come. Additionally, they are impermeable to water, meaning that they offer superb protection against harsh weather conditions.

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