Product Overview
Dressed Edge Blue/Black Fibre Cement Slate Roof Tile measuring 600mm x 600mm. A precision-formed fibre cement tile designed to replicate the hand-cut, chamfered edge profile of natural slate while maintaining consistent dimensions and ease of installation.
Manufactured for durability and uniform appearance, it combines long-term weather resistance with low maintenance performance. The dressed blue/black finish provides a deep, traditional slate tone enhanced by irregular edge detailing for authentic visual definition.
Each tile delivers excellent dimensional stability, producing a traditional slate look with natural edge variation across the roofscape. Ideal for projects where a heritage-style finish with dressed-edge character is required, with each tile sized at 600mm x 600mm.
Features & Benefits
- Durable fibre cement composition: Combines cement, cellulose fibres, and mineral fillers for long service life and reduced risk of cracking or delamination.
- Dressed edge profile: Recreates the hand-finished appearance of natural slate edges for enhanced definition and depth.
- Blue/black colour tone: Provides a rich, slate-like shade with subtle tonal variation and long-term colour stability under UV exposure.
- Lightweight design: Easier handling and installation compared to natural slate, reducing roof loading and labour effort.
- Precision-formed edges: Ensure accurate alignment and consistent overlap for a neat, weatherproof finish.
- Low maintenance: Non-porous surface resists moss growth and staining, reducing upkeep over time.
- Fire and weather resistant: Inherently non-combustible and stable under freeze-thaw and moisture variations.
- Size – 600mm x 600mm: Provides broader roof coverage and is well-suited to large roof planes or cladding areas.
Applications
- Residential roofing: Ideal for pitched roofs on homes and extensions requiring a traditional slate-effect finish.
- Commercial buildings: Suitable for lightweight roof systems where uniformity and fire resistance are critical.
- Heritage renovation: Appropriate for projects where a natural-looking textured slate surface is preferred over smooth finishes.
- Architectural cladding: Can be used in façade applications for aesthetic continuity with roofing materials.
Installation Guidance
- Substrate preparation: Ensure battens are fixed to specification and underlay is correctly positioned before tiling.
- Fixing method: Use corrosion-resistant nails or clips approved for fibre cement slates.
- Laying pattern: Maintain correct headlap and side lap according to roof pitch and exposure zone.
- Cutting and handling: Cut using hand shears or low-speed saws with dust extraction; avoid dry cutting.
- Finishing details: Use matching ridge, verge, and eaves components for full system integrity.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: Manufactured from high-density fibre cement meeting relevant EN 492 standards.
- Weather performance: Tested for wind uplift, water impermeability, and freeze-thaw durability under BS EN requirements.
- Fire classification: Rated A1 under EN 13501-1 for non-combustibility.
- Colour stability: Pigments integrated during manufacture for UV and weather resistance.
- Environmental performance: Fibre cement is non-toxic, asbestos-free, and recyclable at end of life.
- Important note: Always handle tiles with care and follow manufacturer guidance on fixing and safety when cutting or installing.
