  • 500mm x 250mm: A popular size for slate tiles, this size is ideal for most roofs.
  • 600mm x 300mm: A larger size, this is ideal for larger roofs or for those who want a more dramatic look.
  • 400mm x 200mm: A smaller size, this is ideal for smaller roofs or for those who want a more subtle look.

When it comes to slate and tile roofing, there are two main types of lap: closed and open. Closed lap is where the tiles are laid with a small gap between them, while open lap is where the tiles are laid with a larger gap.

Quality Slate and Tiles: What to Look For

When choosing slate and tiles, it's essential to look for quality products that will last for decades. Here are some key things to look for:

  • API certification: Look for slate and tiles that have been certified by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA).
  • Quantity and quality: Make sure you have enough slate and tiles to complete your project, and that they are of high quality.
  • Head lap: The head lap is the distance between the top of one tile and the bottom of the next. A minimum head lap of 75mm is recommended.
  • General practice: Look for slate and tiles that are made to general practice standards, such as those set by the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC).

Extra Half Lap: What is it?

An extra half lap is a technique used to ensure that the slate and tiles are securely fastened to the roof. This involves laying an extra half tile on top of the previous tile to create a secure bond.
