Hardrow® Solos™ Roof Slates
SINGLE COLOURED SLATES WITH A TRADITIONAL SLATE OR STONE SLATE APPEARANCE
Hardrow® SolosTM Roof Slates offer virtually the same architectural properties as natural stone or slate tiles. Our concrete roof slates are extremely durable and mellow with age. They are made with slight dimensional differences and a degree of camber to enhance the product's charm when laid.
The tiles combine two subtle blends of colour within the face mix on a through-coloured base. Together with the subtle colour changes within the slate, this recreates a roof appearance far above its price tag.

For pitches below 40° it is possible to hang the slates, depending on conditions, but advice should be sought from the Forticrete Technical Department on 0800 262136.
Above 40° all slates should be nailed into the batten with 2 x 40mm x 3.35mm aluminium nails (40mm x 4mm for 24 x 18 slates). The nail hole diameters are approximately 5mm with the nail holes being approximately 50mm down from the heads of the slates and 50-100mm in from the side edges.
