Fibre Cement Roof Slates (Reclaimed)

These reclaimed fibre cement roof slates offer practical performance with an already weathered appearance. Minor environmental discolouration appears across many surfaces and small patches of lichen sit lightly on some slates. Small chips mark corners or edges, however, most slates remain structurally sound and ready for reuse. These are lightweight, durable alternatives to natural roofing slates.

Dimensions- L50cm x W25cm

Sold in packs of 10.

Please note, due to the nature of production, the age of the items and process of reclamation, there are likely to be imperfections and wear marks.

Description

Fibre Cement Roof Slates 50cm x 25cm (Reclaimed)

These reclaimed fibre cement roof slates offer practical performance with an already weathered appearance. Fibre cement combines cement, sand, water, and reinforcing fibres. Manufacturers mix the ingredients thoroughly before pressing them into moulds. They then cure the sheets under controlled conditions to achieve strength and stability. This process creates a dense, durable roofing material suited to British weather.

Fibre cement roof solutions became popular during the twentieth century as a cost effective alternative to natural slate. It delivers consistent thickness, reliable fixing points, and predictable coverage rates. Moreover, fibre cement resists rot, insects, and corrosion. Unlike metal, it does not rust. Unlike timber, it does not decay. Consequently, these fibre cement slates perform well across varied climates.

These reclaimed fibre cement roof slates measure 50cm by 25cm. Their generous size allows roofers to cover large areas efficiently. Depending on the required overlap for the roof pitch, installation progresses quickly. In addition, fibre cement slates weigh less than natural slate. This reduced weight lowers the load on roof joists and supporting structures. Therefore, overall structural costs can decrease.

As reclaimed materials, these fibre cement roof slates show honest signs of previous use. Environmental discolouration appears across many surfaces. Minor patches of lichen sit lightly on some faces. Small chips mark occasional corners or edges. However, most slates remain structurally sound and ready for reuse.

Useful Patina

This natural weathering brings important visual benefits. The aged surfaces of these fibre cement roof slates blend easily with existing buildings. They also introduce a settled appearance to new projects. As a result, roofs avoid the stark look of newly manufactured materials.

Choosing reclaimed roofing products supports sustainable construction. Reuse reduces demand for new raw materials and factory production. It also diverts usable slates from landfill. Furthermore, reclaimed fibre cement slates help maintain visual continuity during repairs when used with existing fibre constructions.

With strength, lighter weight, and proven durability, these slates remain a reliable roofing solution. Ultimately, these reclaimed roof slates combine cost efficiency, environmental responsibility, and dependable long term performance. With stock of over 800 slates at time of writing, it’s possible to cover extensions and workshops.
