Eco Slates are extremely lightweight in comparison with most other options. On average, a square metre will weigh less than 12kg.
Over the 50 year warranty expect a variable colour change; however the UV inhibitors ensure they are extremely fade resistant.
The slates are packaged in boxes of 16.
No, Eco Slates have built-in UV inhibitors to protect against harmful UV rays.

16 slates on average per square metre for a pitch of 20 to 45 degrees. 7 slates per linear metre for ridges and hips. 3 slates per linear metre for verges.
No, the slates are solid and not hollow, so the noise is kept at a minimum.
Eco Slate is made from recycled material so some modest variation in colour is possible between batches, we recommend that boxes of slates are mixed on site and slates selected randomly for installation. Please ensure you order enough slates – we always recommend that the entire quantity of slates for each roof is ordered at the same time.
Roof pitches between 15-20 degrees require on average 17 slates per square metre. Roof pitches between 10-15 degrees require on average 19 slates per square metre. Please contact use if you require further information.
