Recommended Use & Installation Notes.
Nutec 7×406×610 mm Plain Cloud Grey Roofing Slate
- Ensure roof pitch meets or exceeds recommended minimum (~17.5°) for effective water runoff and slate coverage.
- Install with galvanized or stainless steel clout nails or copper disc rivets for best long-term fixing.
- Check roof frame / batten spacing — ensure a solid, even roof structure to avoid uneven installation or slate breakage.
- Periodic inspection — though fibre-cement is durable, regular inspection helps ensure fixings remain secure and there are no cracked slates after extreme weather. Order Here
