Cedral Thrutone slates are low-profile man-made fibre cement slates that feature a smooth surface and square cut edges for a sleek, aesthetically pleasing finish. The low-profile slates are a favourite for complex, designer and architecturally inspired roofs and on building facades.
In 6 colours and 2 sizes, each Cedral Thrutone fibre cement slate is 4mm thick and each is 100% recyclable at the end of their life. Cedral Thrutone slates are rated A+ in the BRE Green Guide and they meet strength requirements to BS EN 492.
Cedral Thrutone fibre cement slates can be fixed with 30mm x 2.65mm slate nails and 19mm diameter by 2mm stem copper disc rivets.
Cedral Thrutone slates are delivered on a six-wheeled lorry measuring 11m long by 2.4m wide. The ground must be solid and level so the tail lift facility on the lorry can offload. If these delivery restrictions are not taken into consideration then additional delivery charges may be incurred. Please notify us if a crane off-load or smaller vehicle is required.
It’s strongly recommended that an extra 5% of quantity needed is ordered to offset any breakage in transport or installation.
Please note, these slates are not suitable to be used on a roof with a VELUX window on a roof pitch that is below 20 degrees.
Delivery Notes - Our slates are typically delivered on a six-wheeled lorry (11m long & 2.4m wide) with a tail-lift facility to offload on solid, level ground with a pump truck.
Non-compliance to delivery restrictions may result in additional delivery charges. Should you specifically require a crane or small vehicle offload, please notify us at the time of placing the order, as an additional charge may be incurred. Please allow 5% extra in the ordered quantity to cover acceptable breakage in transporting natural slate products
