Description
Edgemere offers you the perfect combination: an attractive appearance at a surprisingly attractive price. The clean and precise ‘slate-like’ appearance is enhanced by the thin leading edge and a broken-bond laying technique. At only 18mm thick, Edgemere is sleek and greatly increases kerb appeal, providing you with an affordable evolution from standard interlocking tiles.
With only 9.7 tiles per square metre, Edgemere is a single lap solution, that 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 has 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). Click here to find out more.
Edgemere is 40% thinner than standard flat interlocking tiles, dramatically improving kerb appeal with a more slate-like appearance.
*Please note* The British Standard for Slating and Tiling (BS 5534) has recently been updated, making significant changes to tile fixing requirements. To ensure that your roof is compliant to the new standard, our fixing specification service is available and can be accessed by clicking here
