LEADING UK FIBRE CEMENT SLATE SUPPLIERS

Click here for an easy-to-use listing of leading UK suppliers of fibre slates, provided by Archbone.

Fibre cement was developed at the beginning of the twentieth century, to make up for the shortage of natural building materials in the fast growing cities of Europe. The combination of cement, fibres and water produced a strong, flexible and durable material that could be produced in greater quantity and more economically than traditional building products.

Fibre cement slates perform well when compared to other roof coverings, having one of the lowest embodied energy options, despite their higher toxicity as a result of cement production. Fibre cement slates have a guaranteed service life of 30 years, and can be replaced using special fixings. Fibre cement slates are inert, resistant to fire, chemicals and fungal growth, and are unaffected by changes of temperature.
