How does it work?
Specially formed, patented GRP plate replaces the double lap normally required in standard slating. The ArmouredSlate GRP plate is easily placed over the batten to enable resilient and completely weatherproof single lap slating for low pitch.
The design incorporates a weather seal to prevent rain blowing under the slates, the weathering bar then prevents any wind or capillary driven rain from tracking up the slate. The GRP plate fits perfectly below the slates, offering total protection against the very worst of the elements.
Fully tested at the BRE

Outstanding weatherproofing performance as low as 7.5° pitch on wind driven rain tests. When tested against BS PD CEN/TR 15601 it was shown that the ArmouredSlate far outperformed any other natural slate roofing system available.
