Forticrete Roofing Products V2 rockets in to speed up work |
 The claimed convenience of Forticrete Roofing Products' new V2 tile has helped to speed up the progress, avoid breakages and enabled contractors to comply with health and safety legislation on a major re-roofing project in Corby, Northants.
Investment in a new production facility and packaging has allowed the company to band the interlocking V2 in bundles of just six tiles weighing in at less than 20kgs to bring each bundle within the recommended limits for repetitive lifting.
In Corby around 100,000 tiles were used for the refurbishment of 120 council owned properties. The Brown tiles have replaced the original tiles, which saw between 40 and 50 years of service.
