Description
If you like the slim looks of Edgemere, but would prefer the appearance of a smaller format slate, then Duo Edgemere could offer you the perfect solution. The addition of a mock-bond down the centre of the tile combined with a broken bond laying technique, effectively creates this illusion.
Laying smaller format slates can be very expensive and time consuming, but with Duo Edgemere you get the same visual impact with the ease of installation provided by standard interlocking tiles.
With only 9.7 tiles per square metre, Edgemere is a single lap solution, which is quicker and easier to install than natural slate and is also compatible with our full range of ventilation and dry fix systems. With the ability to perform at pitches as low as 17.5°, Edgemere gives you the versatility to be used on a wide range of roof types.
All of our concrete interlocking tiles can achieve an ‘A+’ rating (the lowest environmental impact) in the Building Research Establishment’s Green Guide to Specification (* element ref: 812410007, 812410018, 812410049).
Accreditation to the BES 6001 framework standard for ‘Responsible Sourcing’ means that projects using our concrete interlocking slates can now achieve extra credits under BREEAM and the Home Quality Mark (HQM).
*Please note* The British Standard for Slating and Tiling (BS 5534) has recently been updated, making significant changes to tile fixing requirements.
Edgemere is 40% thinner than standard flat interlocking tiles, dramatically improving kerb appeal with a more slate-like appearance.
