High quality imitation slates

Sourcing high quality slates is becoming increasingly difficult, and even B and M Henderson’s extensive range of new slates from Brazil, China, Spain and Wales is not always suitable for every job. Yet using reclaimed materials can be a real chore, as many will already be degrading and damaged, causing extensive delays as each tile is checked and graded, trimmed and cut.

 

One alternative to this problem is to use Bradstone Old Quarried Slates. These have been cast from original quarried slates, using reconstructed stone, to create an authentic looking slate alternative that has many advantages. These ‘imitation’ slates are dressed to look like the real thing, with random widths and even lichen colouring, to help create a real stone roof finish. Yet Old Quarried Bradstone Roofing Slates are lighter and easier to use, reducing the costs of supporting timbers and substantially cutting installation time.

 

Each Old Quarried Bradstone Roofing Slate comes triple drilled for roof nails or pegs so they can be laid quickly and effectively in next to no time, and the main slates are supported by a full range of under ridge and eave slates, ridge tiles, hip and ventilation units. Best of all, Old Quarried Bradstone Roofing Slates guarantee you a ready supply whatever the size of your project, with no pre-sorting or dressing required, making them a project managers’ dream come true.

 

Old Quarried Bradstone Roofing Slates are just one of the many slate solutions available from stock at B and M Henderson, with expert advice and knowledgeable staff always on hand to help you every step of the way. So whatever your project, call us first and get the job done right first time, with the support of one of the UK’s leading roofing slate suppliers and importers.

Pick the perfect slate

One of the biggest advantages of using real slate for your roof is the natural variety that is available to help you make your project unique to you. Whereas manufactured tiles are uniform in colour and texture, creating a roof that looks just like all the others, slates can vary widely in colour, with subtle changes across the slate itself, and have differences in texture too, allowing you to be really creative.

 

B&M Henderson search the world for different roof slate styles to fire your imagination, with slate coming in from as far afield as China and Brazil, as well as closer to home in Wales. Of these, Welsh slate is your best choice for colour, with no less than eight shades available, all with delightful natural variations within them. This helps you to add interest and originality to a roof that is easily seen, such as an extension or outbuilding, creating a real talking point feature for your home.

 

For dependable solid colour quality, choose Brazilian slate. This is available in black, green or blue-grey and is ideal for creating uniform colours on large roof areas. Alternatively, if price is an issue, you can choose high quality Chinese slates, which we import directly from this exciting new emerging market. There may be many poor quality Chinese slates on the market, but B&M Henderson stock the NHBC approved Majestic range to guarantee the very best roofing slates for your home. This range combines dependable quality with Chinese import prices to give you the very best of both worlds.

 

So if you’re planning to rebuild or refurbish your roof, talk to the slate experts at B&M Henderson. We’ve scoured the world for slates for you, to bring you the best possible choice in colour, texture and price.
