5 Reasons Why Britmet Could Be The Perfect Lightweight Roofing Option For You

The Britmet LiteSlate range is one of our most popular products amongst our customers and it is easy to see why when you delve into the benefits of the amazing products on offer.

Here we have compiled 5 reasons why Britmet may be the best lightweight roofing option for your project.

Extremely Lightweight

They are one of the best lightweight roofing options in the market for a reason and one of them is based solely on the fact that they are extremely lightweight, weighing only 12kg per square metre.

This makes them easier to handle on site whilst reducing the costs of transport in comparison to traditional roof tiles or slates.

Looks Like A Slate

A compromise that you may see with some lightweight roofing systems is that the product doesn’t look like an actual slate or tile, but this simply isn’t the case with the LiteSlate.

Real Welsh Slate was used during the design process, ensuring that they look like a slate whilst maintaining the benefits of a lightweight roof system.

Solid Performance

The Britmet LiteSlate is solid in every sense of the word. The manufacturing process ensures that this lightweight roofing option does not crack, break, chip or delaminate like natural slate does, allowing you to benefit from its features for extended periods of time.

Easy Installation

The LiteSlate has been compression moulded, which means that it has detailed impressions displaying where the fix the slate, which makes installation easier for amateur DIYers and tradesmen.

Not only that, but this lightweight tile is easy to cut as you only require a sharp, fine-tooth saw or sharp blade to do so.

Great For The Environment

If you have your heart set on products that are great for the environment, then the LiteSlate is perfect for you.

The tiles are manufactured from 90% recycled polymers and in 2021, Britmet recycled over three million kilograms of polypropylene during the manufacturing process of LiteSlate tiles.

These lightweight synthetic slate tiles are not only good for the environment whilst looking good, offering solid performance and easy installation, but they are available in various colours to suit any project, whilst being affordable.
