The Britmet LiteSlate Roofing Tile in Charcoal delivers a sleek, modern dark finish while replicating the authentic look of traditional slate roofing. Designed for durability and ease of installation, this charcoal-coloured tile is ideal for both residential and commercial roofing projects.
Each tile measures approximately 440mm (L) x 297mm (W) x 5mm (H) and weighs around 0.58kg, making it significantly lighter than natural slate. This lightweight design reduces strain on roof structures and allows for faster, more efficient installation.
Manufactured from a high-performance composite of recycled polypropylene (plastic) and limestone mineral fillers, these synthetic slate tiles combine the aesthetic of real slate with the resilience of modern materials. With over 90% recycled content, they offer an environmentally responsible roofing solution.
Suitable for a wide range of applications including pitched roofs, conservatories, garages, stables, garden buildings, and extensions, these tiles feature built-in installation markers for accurate alignment and consistent fitting. Typically, 18–22 tiles are required per square metre for effective coverage.
Key benefits include excellent resistance to wind, rain, frost, and UV exposure. Unlike natural slate, these tiles are highly impact-resistant and will not crack or split, ensuring long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
Backed by a manufacturer’s guarantee, the Britmet LiteSlate Charcoal tile provides a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to traditional roofing slate with long-lasting performance.
