Cedral Rivendale Fibre-Cement Slate Roofing Tile - Cromleigh Graphite - 600mm x 300mm

Cedral Rivendale fibre-cement roofing slates are a premium and highly authentic roofing solution designed to perfectly emulate the visual appeal of natural quarried slate, without the inherent drawbacks of weight, cost, and fragility.

This intricate texturing meticulously replicates the irregular, cleft appearance characteristic of traditional natural slate. Each slate also boasts a dressed edge, further enhancing its authentic, handcrafted look and feel. The controlled manufacturing process ensures uniform dimensions and pre-holed convenience, simplifying installation while maintaining consistent quality.
