The Cedral Story: Premium Quality Sustainable Slates

2 mins

Trusted in the industry for decades, CEDRAL fibre cement slates are the ideal alternative to natural slates.

Made to Cedral’s exacting standards in a range of different colours and finishes, they are created in a uniform size and of the same high quality for easier installation. They are among the strongest slates in the market and have a minimum life expectancy of 50 years.

Why are Cedral roofs such a popular choice for quality and sustainability?

  • Cedral fibre cement slates are long-lasting and made of a strong and lightweight material that is easy to work with and perfect for both new builds and renovations.
  • Cedral Slates are factory-coated, resulting in a uniform, durable finish. Coating the slates means they are available in a much wider range of colours to suit all needs.
  • Cedral’s consistently-sized slates reduce installation time as no sorting or grading is required on site.
  • With a range of finishes, Cedral Slates are exceptionally architecturally-versatile and provide the flexibility to substitute existing project specifications.

A choice of designs to suit every requirement:

  • Rivendale is a premium option with a natural slate appearance, beautifully textured surfaces and dressed edges. 
  • Birkdale oĪers a traditional slate finish at an affordable price, with smooth surfaces and dressed edges for a contemporary take on a classic look.
  • Thrutone Textured is a great-value slate with a natural textured finish.
  • Thrutone Smooth is a strong favourite with industry professionals and its smooth surface and square-cut edges work particularly well for a full building envelope.
