Zeeland Fibre Cement Slate Tiles Specification Text Downloads

Zeeland fibre-cement slates have an appearance close to that of sawn edge natural slate. Their attractive riven surface and clean square edges make them an ideal solution for situations where presentation is important. They are manufactured to the highest European standards and are lightweight, pre-holed, suitable for all types of projects, easy to handle and install, durable and an economic alternative to natural roofing materials.

Zeeland roofing slates are manufactured using Portland cement together with a non-asbestos formulation of superior blended synthetic and cellulose fibres. Zeeland 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.

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