Around 8,000 Jutland slates from cembrit blunn have been used on the unusual roof of the new Princess Lodge Care Centre in Swindon. For ease of installation, the company’s slates are lightweight, pre-holed, durable and easy to handle. Fibre cement slates are an economic alternative to natural roofing materials, and are particularly appropriate for new builds. Due to their semi-matt acrylic coating to both faces and all edges, Jutland slates will maintain their sheen long after they are installed. Roofing contractor Nigel Appleton said: “The Jutland slates look great, and our roofers on the project found them very easy to work with.”

Three varieties of Canadian roofing slate are now available from Cembrit Blunn. The range comprised of Trinity, Glacier and Glendyne, offers specifiers and roofers a choice of authentic product. 'With the well-documented re-organisation in the Welsh slate industry our comprehensive Canadian slate range is available ex-stock and supplies look good for the foreseeable future,' said Ged Ferris, marketing manager at Cembritt Blunn. 'Canadian slate has similar qualities to Welsh slate and is consistent and easy to work with.'
