New roof slating launched by Authentic Roof Australia
Architects and builders now have the choice of a new, stylish and
lightweight, slate roofing product with good environmental credentials - at a cost
much less than quarried Welsh or Spanish slate.
The new roof slate is made from recycled rubber, costs less than natural roof slate
and is durable and fade resistant to UV rays. The new roof slate is also easy to install.
Architects and builders can select from three impressive colour's, black, dark grey
and light grey, to complement their architectural detail for a classic effect.
Authentic Roof Australia's slate will not split, or corrode, and fully complies with
Australian Standard AS/NZS 2049. The new roof slate is lightweight, and weighs far less
than natural slate, ceramic slate and concrete or terracotta tiles. This reduces the
load on the roof trusses, eliminating the need for extra structural support.
Authentic roof slate is easy to install and can be cut with a sharp Stanley knife,
circular saw, jigsaw or band saw, increasing its flexibility. Importantly, the new roof
slate will not crack in heavy hail storms or warp or disfigure in extreme hot or cold
temperatures.
The slate is made from recycled materials. These include rubber and polymer materials
Baljen Thermal Poly Olefins - a durable, environmentally safe material, made without
harmful chemicals or plasticisers which can leach out in sunshine. This means you have
a classic roof slate, made from recycled materials and, at the end of the lifecycle,
the new roof slate itself can be recycled. It's perfectly safe to drink your rainwater
(Tested and passed by AMS laboratory AS 4020).
The moulds for the slates are computer engineered and precision crafted to achieve the
special, natural look of 100 year old slates. Authentic Roof Australia can assist with
the specification of the roof slates and provide technical details.
