Sandtoft Balmoral

Balmoral is a New Generation, interlocking riven slate which is a new concept in roofing that uses the natural properties of clay to give the visual appearance of a natural slate, combined with economic benefits of interlocking tile design.

New Generation interlocking riven slate with easy to lay open gauge
Manufactured from naturally occuring alluvial clay ensures the roof weathers in a natural fashion – unlike slate effect products
made from fibre cement and concrete
High performance – can be laid on roof pitches as low as 22.5 degrees
Substantial labour savings compared with double lapped natural slate and fibre cement products
No on-site holing or sorting required
Full range of roofing systems available including dry ridge, dry verge and dry hip
Clips available for secure mechanical fixing
Balmoral eliminates the need for eaves and tops tiles
BRE Green Guide rated ‘A+’
Manufactured and independently certified under Quality Management System BS EN 9001
Certified to Environmental Management Standard EN ISO 14001
All raw clay is extracted from an abundant source of local reserves located within 1km of the production process

To ensure an authentic slate appearance the Balmoral has a riven surface and dressed edges which provide a detailed and textured appearance, whilst its proportions are designed to take the form of a smaller thicker variety of
slate formerly quarried in Scotland. The slate colour of the Balmoral, as with any clay tile, comes from the firing process and is permanent: it will not fade.
