All roofing is colour-through , pre-curved with Tapco ’ s InFlex™ design for maximum durability , rated for 110mph wind uplift , rated with Class 4 impact resistance , and the TapcoSlate Classic comes with full BBA certification .
Whether you have a conservatory , modern house or a listed building , TapcoSlate Classic adds splendour , elegance and tradition to your home . It is authentically shaped with textured surfaces and riven edges moulded from authentic slates that make TapcoSlate Classic indistinguishable from natural slate - yet it has an even more refined appearance . TapcoSlate Classic will not crack , break or delaminate , standing the test of time better than many natural slates . Its ’ product formulation
and manufacturing processes provide durability , performance , and longevity for many years to come . By providing a lightweight and easily-installed product , installation costs are lower , and less wasteful than those of natural slate .
TapcoSlate Classic is BBA approved for useage on roof pitches as low as 14.5 degrees on felt and batten installations . Previously , fully-boarded applications were required to achieve such low pitches - this increases the potential to use slate on hitherto unconsidered projects .
