Slate: The Material of the Future

Natural slate has protected buildings for centuries — but what makes it just as relevant for the roofs of tomorrow? Durable, sustainable and exceptionally long-lasting, natural slate can deliver outstanding performance when the right product is selected and installed correctly.

How do you choose the right slate for your project? What should you look for when assessing quality? And how can you avoid the common pitfalls that can lead to problems on site?

Join CUPA PIZARRAS, technical event sponsor, at the NFRC Yorkshire & North East event this October for a practical look at natural slate — from choosing the right product to getting the details right on the roof.
