Cedral Thrutone Textured Fibre-Cement Slate Roofing Tile - Stone Green - 600mm x 300mm

Cedral Thrutone Textured fibre-cement roofing slates are a robust and visually striking alternative to natural slate, designed to deliver high performance with a refined, architectural finish. Made from fibre cement, these tiles feature a subtle textured surface and crisp square edges, offering a low-profile aesthetic that suits both traditional and modern roofscapes. Manufactured from a robust yet lightweight fibre-cement composite, Cedral Thrutone Textured slates are identifiable by their subtly embossed surface texture and clean, square edges. This controlled texturing provides a refined, non-reflective finish that offers a softer, more natural appearance compared to smooth slates, while retaining the precise lines of a modern roofing tile. Each slate is consistently sized and often pre-holed for efficient and accurate installation, ensuring a cohesive and high-quality roof finish.
