Westerland Fibre-Cement Slate Tiles Brochure Downloads

Westerland Fibre-Cement Slate Tiles have an appearance very close to that of natural slate. Its attractive riven surface and natural dressed edges make it an ideal solution for situations where a traditional appearance is important. It is manufactured to the highest European standards and is lightweight, pre-holed, and suitable for all types of projects, easy to handle and install, durable and an economic alternative to natural roofing materials.

Westerland roofing slates are manufactured using Portland cement together with a non-asbestos formulation of superior blended synthetic and cellulose fibres. Westerland slates are pigmented during production and are fully compressed. They are finished with a high quality, semi-matt acrylic coloured coating to the top face and edges and a tinted, high performance binder to the back face.

Westerland foofing tiles are compatible with most common building materials, except those vulnerable to alkaline attack. When materials such as aluminium are used as flashings or gutters they should be protected and maintained with bituminous paint if they will be subject to water run-off from the slates.
