Recommended Use & Installation Notes.
Nutec 7×406×610 mm Mitred Plain Cloud Grey Roofing Slate
- Recommended minimum roof pitch: **~ 17.5°** (common recommendation for fibre-cement slates) — ensures proper water runoff and slate overlap.
- Use galvanized or copper slating nails, or copper disc rivets — to ensure longevity and prevent corrosion.
- Ensure roof structure / batten spacing is accurate and stable — uneven structure will show through in final slate finish.
- Consider waterproof underlay if roof exposure is high or in heavy wind areas, especially where wind uplift or water leaks may be a concern.
- Periodic roof inspection recommended — although slates are durable, checking fixings and slate condition after severe weather improves longevity. Order Here.
