Cedral Thrutone Smooth Fibre-Cement Slate Roofing Tile - Terracotta - 500mm x 250mm

Cedral Thrutone Smooth Fibre-Cement Slate Roofing Tile offers a distinctly modern and understated aesthetic, providing a sleek, uniform, and highly durable roofing solution. Thrutone Smooth is designed for projects that demand clean lines and a contemporary finish, appealing to both modern architectural designs and those seeking a precise, minimalist look for traditional structures. Manufactured from a robust yet lightweight fibre-cement composite, Cedral Thrutone Smooth slates are characterised by their perfectly flat, smooth surface and clean, square edges. This meticulous finish creates a sharp, streamlined appearance that provides a stark contrast to textured or riven slates, ensuring a cohesive and immaculate roof aesthetic. Each slate is consistently sized and often pre-holed, facilitating efficient and accurate installation, leading to a pristine and uniform roofline.
