recycled plastic roof slates recycled plastic roof slates
These tiles have been much sought after by eco builders, and have just become available again after a two year gap - the German factory closed down in 2005 but the equipment was bought by new owners and thankfully has now been put into production again. Made from recycled plastics (52%) and kaolin clay (48%), these dark grey slates are fairly rigid, similar in flexibility to 6mm ply wood. Each tile is 240mm by 380mm, 30 slates per square metre. Tile thickness is 4.5mm, giving a relatively light weight roof - approx 450g per tile (13.5 kg per square metre). Fixing system is conventional - nail through slate into wooden battens (pre-drilling not required). Price is per square metre (30 tiles) and includes delivery within England, Wales, Lowland and Central Scotland (contact us for quote for extra delivery charge outside these areas). Guarantee: 10 years, life expectancy at least 30 years, after which colour loss may occur but the slate should stay structurally intact. Samples available (see below). Discount available on quantities over 30 square metres - please ask for a quote. click for close-up of one tile

These ridge tiles can be used with the recycled slates, but are made in the USA by a different factory. NB these ridge tiles DO NOT contain recycled material. The ridge tiles overlap lengthways. As an alternative ridge finish for recycled plastic slates, use flashing or a proprietory dry roof ridge system from a builders merchant.
