Tapco Classic Artificial Slate Roof Tiles are easy to install, long-lasting and stunningly attractive synthetic roof tiles that are almost identical to authentic natural slates and come with all the modern benefits of durability and performance.

Can you paint these tiles?
We would not recommend adorning any paint or substance onto this product.
Hi how do you make sure the end of the abutment ventilator is watertight . Do you supply end caps of some sort ?
The abutment vents are self-sealed units that interlock together. There is no need for an end cap even when cut. Simply over-flash with lead or a tile course.
Can these tiles be used on a vertical surface. i.e vertical dormer sides.
These tiles are classed as a roofing product with regards British and EU fire certification standards and therefore have not been fire tested for vertical cladding applications when applying for local building control certification. The maximum pitch for Test 4 is 70 degrees and under. We cannot, therefore, recommend that our tiles are used as a vertical fixing (Cladding) that requires Test 1 certification. However, we advise your client to speak to their local building control office to ask the question of what they would expect to have fitted to make these compliant, in certain circumstances a simple fire wall under the tiles will suffice. If building control certification is not being requested, and the product is being fixed as a “decorative finish” where fire certification is not required, then these can be used vertically – please note that the product will stand up to wind-driven rain penetration and protect any under surfaces more than adequately. We just have to point out the restrictions on fire testing standards for roofing and cladding are now different in the UK market due to the changes made after the Grenfell tragedy.
