Slate and Tiles in Pudleigh: A Comprehensive Guide
At A1 Roofing Taunton, we understand the importance of choosing the right roofing materials for your property in Pudleigh. Two popular options that have been widely used in the UK for centuries are slate and tiles. In this article, we will delve into the world of slate and tiles, exploring their benefits, characteristics, and uses.
Slate is a natural, metamorphic rock that has been used for roofing since ancient times. It is prized for its durability, resistance to weathering, and attractive appearance. Slate roofing is available in various sizes, including 600mm x 300mm, 600mm x 400mm, and 800mm x 400mm. Our slate roofing products are sourced from reputable suppliers to ensure the highest quality.
When it comes to slate roofing, there are two main types of lap: closed lap and open lap. Closed lap slate roofing involves overlapping the slates to create a watertight seal, while open lap slate roofing leaves a small gap between the slates. Our experienced roofers will advise on the best lap type for your Pudleigh property.
We use API 4 star rated slates, which are the highest quality available in the UK. These slates have been tested for their durability, strength, and resistance to weathering. With a lifespan of up to 100 years, API 4 star rated slates are a worthwhile investment for any property owner.
Tile roofing is another popular option for properties in Pudleigh. Our tile roofing products are made from high-quality materials, including clay, concrete, and slate. We offer a range of tile sizes, including 265mm x 165mm, 300mm x 225mm, and 350mm x 250mm.
General Practice for Slate and Tile Roofing
At A1 Roofing Taunton, we follow best practice guidelines for slate and tile roofing. Our experienced roofers will assess your property and recommend the most suitable roofing material, taking into account factors such as roof pitch, size, and style.
Quantity and Head Lap
When it comes to slate and tile roofing, quantity and head lap are key considerations. Our roofers will ensure that the correct quantity of slates or tiles is used, and that the head lap is sufficient to prevent water ingress.
Extra Half Lap for Added Security
For added security, we recommend an extra half lap on slate and tile roofing. This involves overlapping the slates or tiles by an extra half to create a more watertight seal.
