A natural slate tile unit pre-bonded to UV stable GRP, the ArmouredSlate is effectively a slate tile. The simple, high performance unit comes ready-to-install and even stack and hook over the batten for ease of handling when on the roof. ArmouredSlate is made from well-known, tried and tested GRP, that has been used for over 40 years in roofing applications with consistent high-performance, long life and stability. The GRP plate is positioned just below the slates to provide a resilient and completely waterproof layer, offering total protection against the very worst of the elements.

Specially formed, patented GRP plate replaces the double lap normally required in standard slating. The ArmouredSlate GRP plate is easily placed over the batten to enable resilient and completely weatherproof single lap slating for low pitch. The design incorporates a weather seal to prevent rain blowing under the slates, the weathering bar then prevents any wind or capillary driven rain from tracking up the slate. The GRP plate fits perfectly below the slates, offering total protection against the very worst of the elements.
