Pennine E Slate Lightweight Plastic Roof Slate Tile (Pack of 16)

The Pennine E Slate Lightweight Plastic Roof Slate Tile offers an innovative roofing solution that combines technical efficiency with eco sustainability…

Pennine E Slate is ideal for conservatories, sheds, garages, and a wide range of outbuildings where a lightweight, environmentally responsible slate-style roofing solution is required.

Designed as a modern alternative to traditional slate, Pennine E Slate combines strength, flexibility, and sustainability in a visually authentic slate-effect finish. Its adaptable design makes it suitable for low-pitch and curved roofs, providing greater versatility than natural stone products. Available in Grey, Red, and Green, it delivers a realistic appearance that complements both contemporary and traditional buildings.

Installation is quick and efficient. Each slate is fixed directly to a plywood or OSB decking, removing the need for roof battens and significantly reducing material usage. A standard breathable roofing membrane is installed first, after which the slates are hand-nailed using 16mm hot-dip galvanised annular ring shank nails with a minimum 5mm head. Nail guns are not required. Integrated nail guides and spacing indicators ensure accurate, consistent fixing throughout the roof.

Once installed, the system forms a continuous, flexible weatherproof layer that offers excellent resistance to wind uplift and water ingress, while also improving thermal performance, particularly beneficial on lower roof pitches.

Thanks to its lightweight construction, Pennine E Slate can be installed in less than half the time of traditional slate roofing, with no breakages, waste, or heavy lifting, making it a highly economical and practical roofing choice.

Over time, exposure to sunlight causes the slates to gently fuse together, forming a seamless bonded surface. This process occurs more rapidly in warmer conditions, enhancing long-term durability and weather protection.
