Product Description

The Britmet Lightweight Roofing high-performance synthetic slate tile is a beautiful-looking, modern-day version of a traditional slate tile.

It has all the characteristics you can expect from a traditional slate such as authentic finish, riven edges and in the traditional slate colour. Unlike natural slate LiteSlate will not crack, break, chip or delaminate through its ground-breaking design and cutting-edge manufacturing process.

As the name suggests, LiteSlate is a very easy-to-fix synthetic slate roofing tile, making it the perfect choice for any DIY project. Also, is stress-free for any tradesman looking to fit LiteSlate for the first time, due to the visible fixing locations, pre-installed spacers and easy-to-follow lapping instructions. LiteSlate is also easy to cut, you only require a sharp fine tooth saw or a sharp blade, which means you don’t have to worry about hiring or buying any slate cutters or tools.

Britmet LiteSlate is sold in handy packs of 22 slates, which is enough to cover 1m²

How many Britmet LiteSlate per square metre?

  • 14 to 25 degrees (fully boarded or felt & battens) = 22 per m²
  • 25 to 27.5 degrees (fully boarded or felt & battens) = 20 per m²
  • 27.5 to 30 degrees (fully boarded or felt & battens) = 19 per m²
  • above 30 degrees (fully boarded or felt & battens) = 18 per m²

Simply, calculate the square meterage of your roof by multiplying the length by the width in metres (L x W = M2), then multiply that square meterage using the guide above.

For example: if you have a 5 metre x 3 metre roof with a 24-degree pitch, then the equation would be 5 x 3 = 15, then 15 x 22 slates = 15 packs*.

*DISCLAIMER: This is just an estimated guide based on exact coverages advised by the manufacturer, and does not allow for wastage or cuts. The roofing industry standard for this is to allow an additional 5% to 10%, depending on the roof’s complexity and the skill/experience of the person installing the product, therefore, the final decision on quantity is the responsibility of our customer or the person installing the product.
