How does it work?
Specially formed, patented GRP plate replaces the double lap normally required in standard slating. The ArmouredSlate GRP plate is easily placed over the batten to enable resilient and completely weatherproof single lap slating for low pitch.
The design incorporates a weather seal to prevent rain blowing under the slates, the weathering bar then prevents any wind or capillary driven rain from tracking up the slate. The GRP plate fits perfectly below the slates, offering total protection against the very worst of the elements.

*ArmouredSlate is colour matched to the slates in Squirrel Grey, the white in the illustration is only to show how it works.
ArmouredSlate can be purchased as a full system, or separately.
