Description

Made from a combination of pure polypropylene and virgin limestone, this pack of twenty-five Classic Olive coloured TapcoSlate Synthetic Slate Roof Tiles delivers a robust, lightweight and affordable synthetic roofing solution, perfect for modern and heritage homes. Providing a coverage of 18-22 slates per m2 depending on the angle - please see list below.

Also suitable for conservatory and garage roofs, these tiles boast an authentic slate-like texture with a Classic Olive finish that gives your roof a delicate dark greenish hue.

Features & Benefits: TapcoSlate Synthetic Slate Roof Tile Classic Olive (814) - Pack of 25

  • Classic Olive finish will give your roof a subtle dark green hue
  • An affordable and attractive synthetic alternative to natural slate roof tiles
  • Made from pure polypropylene
  • Perfect for modern and heritage homes and also suitable for garages and conservatory roofs
  • Lightweight, durable and has excellent weathering characteristics
  • Minimum pitch is 12° on a felt/batten roof and 14.5° on a boarded/felt and batten roof
  • Easy to cut and fix to roof
  • No breakage, wastage, drilling or sorting required
  • AA fire rating achieved for installation on boarded roofs
  • Backed by a Limited Lifetime warranty

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.

  • 22 slates/sq. metre at 14 to 25 degrees
  • 20 slates/sq. metre at 25 to 27.5 degrees
  • 19 slates/sq. metre at 27.5 to 30 degrees

Standards & Certification

  • BBA Certified

Please note:

  • Aluminium or copper nails may be used, but driving them through the slate may cause bending.
  • TapcoSlates must be conditioned at a temperature no lower than 7°C for 24 hours before use.
  • 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.

Question:

Hi what is the life span of this product? We used them on a conservatory and was really impressed. Is it the sort of product we can use on a main roof ?

The Tapco slate has a 40 year warranty but you could expect them to last in excess of 40-50 years if laid correctly. Fine to use on the main roof of a house.
