Cedral Roof Slates overview
Cedral Roof Slates are manufactured from fibre cement, a lightweight but very strong roofing material which is a blend of cement, sand, water, and carefully selected fibres. The slates are uniform in size and quality, helping installers achieve a neat, consistent finish compared with the natural variation often found in natural slate.
Cedral slates offer a minimum life expectancy of 50 years, and are resistant to damp, bacteria, and algae. They do not warp, crack, rot or rust. And they comprehensively meet the fire performance classification A2-s1,d0 to EN 13501-1:2018 A2‑s1,d0 reaction to fire classification to EN 13501‑1:2018.
Cedral slates are pre‑holed and designed for efficient fixing, supporting quicker installation with fewer breakages on site.
