Buy Artificial Slate Roof Tiles for Conservatories & Pitched Roofs

At UKFR, we sell a wide range of artificial roof tile slates combining modern slate technology and the natural slate appearance for an attractive and high-quality roofing system.

Here you can find both the standard slate and slate ridge tiles so you can find the right solution for your project.

Guardian Artificial Slate

Guardian artificial slate is an outstanding alternative to natural slate roofing as it's lightweight, durable, and low maintenance. In other words, it's highly resistant to cracking or breaking, and boasts high UV resistance, ensuring a consistent colour won't fade. Made from resin-bonded crushed limestone, it gives a natural look and feel, making it ideal for any roof tile installation. 

There are many benefits to guardian composite roof tiles including: 

• 60% lighter than natural slate
• Highly crack, split and fade-resistant 
• Fire resistant: Grade A Fire Rating
• Highly wind resistant
• Low-maintenance and easy-to-clean
• 100% recyclable

Each bundle contains 22 composite slates and is available in five natural colours, including black, brown, grey, mulberry, and terracotta, allowing you to add texture and style to your home's exterior.

These tiles can be installed on a maximum roof pitch of 90 degrees (boarded or battens) and a minimum pitch of 14 degrees (boarded roofs only) to ensure it’s properly secured and rainwater can drain effectively. It should be installed on a 12mm thick roofing board or standard roofing battens, using 30mm long stainless steel screws with 4mm diameter heads, to ensure maximum stability.

EcoSlate Artificial Roofing Slate

At UKFR we also offer the EcoSlate which is an all in one roofing and ridge slate. The unique asset to EcoSlate is that there is no need for custom made ridges, hips or end plates as everything is made from the one single product. This also makes them an excellent time and cost effective product as they can be installed in less than half the time of a real slate roof.

With EcoSlate being flexible and pliable they are extremely versatile and you can use them for any roof type. This super simple slate alternative is available in traditional grey and red here.

EcoSlates are manufactured from 95% recycled plastics making them eco friendly in their construction and this also means they can be recycled at the end of their usable lifespan which is over 50 years. They also boast a BBA certificate and have been tested in winds of up to 110 mph.

Each pack is 16 slates which will cover up to 1sq.m with roofs of 20-45 degree pitch and can be installed on roofs with as low a pitch as 10 degrees.

If your roof has a lower pitch than 10 degrees we recommend our EPDM Rubber Roofing range for your waterproofing needs.
