Made from recyclable plastic and Dolomite limestone, TapcoSlates have the random texture and edges of natural slate, and are available in a range of attractive colours and blends.
They are lightweight from only 12 kgs/m², (half the weight of natural slate), easy to handle and can be fixed by either hammer and nail or nail gun. Very useful for re-roofing applications where timbers may be suspect, or when designing the loading specification for a new roof.
Where natural slate can vary in thickness, causing gapping, and subsequent breakage if walked on, TapcoSlates are dimensionally accurate so there is no need to sort for thickness before loading the roof.
Slates are marked with nailing and exposure overlaps and horizontal spacers to maintain integrity when fixing. Product doesn't crack or split, particularly when cutting for hips, valleys, etc. and is quicker to lay than natural slate. Natural slate may incur 5-15% breakage/shrinkage factor depending on the quality.
TapcoSlates have excellent weathering characteristics; they will not curl, lift or delaminate, and are impermeable to water. A production induced camber ensures the slates follow the roof contours for maximum wind uplift protection.
TapcoSlates are available as individual slates or bundles of 25 slates
TapcoSlate plastic roof slates are available in a wide range of Traditional and Alternative colours, in addition, we also offer mixed colour bundles. Please note, minimum order quantities apply for Alternative and Mixes.
