LiteSlate Low-Pitch Synthetic Roof Slate Slate Grey
Achieve the classic look of natural slate with none of the drawbacks. Britmet LiteSlate in Slate Grey is a high-performance synthetic roofing tile that combines authentic aesthetics with modern lightweight durability.
Manufactured from a recyclable blend of polypropylene and limestone (up to 94% recycled polymers), each tile is compression-moulded to replicate the appearance of traditional Welsh slate, complete with realistic riven edges and a natural textured finish. Unlike natural slate, LiteSlate will not crack, break, chip or delaminate.
