Blended from dolomite limestone and polypropylene, they are over 50% lighter and much less fragile than natural slate, so easier to handle too.

Being tougher, they can be walked on during installation, without risk of cracking. This fact alone can reduce wastage by 15%. They?re also easy to cut and fit, so quick to install.

It?s no wonder that roofing contractors love to work with them.
