Balmoral

Balmoral is a New Generation, interlocking riven slate which is a new concept in roofing that uses the natural properties of clay to give the visual appearance of a natural slate, combined with economic benefits of interlocking tile design.

  • New Generation interlocking riven slate with easy to lay open gauge
  • Manufactured from naturally occuring alluvial clay ensures the roof weathers in a natural fashion - unlike slate effect products made from fibre cement and concrete
  • High performance - can be laid on roof pitches as low as 22.5 degrees
  • Substantial labour savings compared with double lapped natural slate and fibre cement products
  • No on-site holing or sorting required
  • Full range of roofing systems available including dry ridge, dry verge and dry hip
  • Clips available for secure mechanical fixing
  • Balmoral eliminates the need for eaves and tops tiles
  • BRE Green Guide rated 'A+'
  • Manufactured and independently certified under Quality Management System BS EN 9001
  • Certified to Environmental Management Standard EN ISO 14001
  • All raw clay is extracted from an abundant source of local reserves located within 1km of the production process

To ensure an authentic slate appearance the Balmoral has a riven surface and dressed edges which provide a detailed and textured appearance, whilst its proportions are designed to take the form of a smaller thicker variety of slate formerly quarried in Scotland. The slate colour of the Balmoral, as with any clay tile, comes from the firing process and is permanent: it will not fade.
