PATTINI ROOF SLATE
SLATE ROOFING TILES
Pattini is a fine grained black slate with an attractive longitudinal grain that runs evenly down the length of the slate. The surface is clean and even with a fine grain but the slate has character by virtue of its thickness and chamfered edge. The test results for this very affordable slate indicate a predicted lifespan of 75+ years. The slates have no mineral intrusions or reports of rust from roofs in Ireland, UK or Europe where the slates have been used for 16 years without problems
