Cedral slates are made of fibre cement. This composite material is composed of ingredients that are readily available in nature and that are low in toxicity. The main components are cement (made from limestone and clay rock), sand, air and water – mixed with fibres for extra strength.
Thanks to the clever combination of air (30% of fibre-cement slates) and fibres, fibre cement slates are lighter and stronger than natural slates or roof tiles. They have an excellent wind and weather resistance, withstanding storms with ease. Thanks to their porous structure, they can also absorb up to a third of their weight in humidity, effectively combating condensation in your roof structure. This makes them the ideal roofing material, both for renovations and new constructions.
Also important: fibre cement slates also have an excellent fire performance classification of A2-s1, d0. With Cedral slates you add safety and peace of mind to your home.
