ReadySlate^®

Material: Real Welsh Slate

Standard Modules: 300x1200mm

FAST & EASY ROOFING SYSTEM

Traditional slate tile roofs require expert highly trained installers who are few and far between and expensive.

The installation cost alone has put slate roof tiles out of the reach of many homeowners. Until now!

The lightweight, easy-to-install READYSLATE® modular tile system cuts down on installation time and the unique 4-step installation process does not require skilled labour or any specialised machinery.

Exceptional weathertight installation is easy to achieve even for DIYers.

Each READYSLATE® module sheet consists of 6 high-quality, hand-quarried natural slate tiles (3.5 mm thick), overlaid on a 2.5mm thick waterproof bituminous membrane.

The modular design enables seamless integration of any existing roof elements and provides a simple solution for all types of roofs including roofs pitched as low as 18 degrees.

Ready, set, slate with READYSLATE®.

LIGHTWEIGHT

READYSLATE® tile modules are lightweight and flexible yet still retain all the outstanding strength and resistance qualities that natural tectonic slate is famous for.

It is designed to comply with building and roofing legal weight requirements.

The slate modules weigh approximately 5.4 kg each—so sheets are easy to carry up to the roof and maneuver into place.

READYSLATE® is lighter than traditional slate tiles so you’ll enjoy lower transport costs. And you’ll love the way our sturdy packaging means fewer broken or damaged tiles in transit.

Yet despite their relatively light weight READYSLATE® tiles deliver exceptional thermal and noise insulation.

QUALITY

Six 300 x 200mm hand quarried, non-carbonated, tectonic slate tiles make up each READYSLATE® module.

The slate originates from a quarry in Spain where most of the world’s leading quality slate is produced.

Slate is one of the most durable, weather-resistant roofing materials known.

That’s why it has been used on buildings throughout Europe for hundreds of years and is an ideal choice for heritage and modern building designs in Australia.

The exquisite natural beauty of READYSLATE® will transform any home into a thing of great beauty.

Artificial roofing alternatives just cannot compete with READYSLATE® for quality, beauty, or durability.

DO-IT-YOURSELF APPROACH

READYSLATE® offers all the quality advantages of natural slate roofing with an easy 4-step installation process that DIYers can do.

You don’t need to hire skilled tradies and no specialized machinery is required.

STEP 1

READYSLATE® is easily installed using nails or screws. Each individual slate tile is predrilled to simplify the installation process.

That’s right, no more fussing around with chalk lines and drilling holes for your nails; it’s all done for you. Once fitted, peel back the protective film.

STEP 2

Laying READYSLATE® modular design slate tiles is a breeze. When aligning neighbouring modules simply overlap the waterproof sheet of the previous module.

STEP 3

READYSLATE® slate tiles are marked with an overlapping line to ensure all successive tile rows are correctly laid to achieve superior weatherproofing performance.

This is an enormous time and labour saving innovation in itself.

STEP 4

Now simply repeat steps 1 and 2. You can easily adapt modules to any roof element.

READYSLATE® will accommodate most flashings (metal or other material) on valleys, hips, ridges and other critical points including ventilated ridges.

The result is your own waterproof, resistant and eco-friendly natural slate roof.

READYSLATE® MODULES

The double-layer design of the READYSLATE® tile modules offers reduced installation time and cost savings as well as delivers real performance against any weather.

READYSLATE® consists of two layers:

Support layer: a waterproof bituminous self-adhesive membrane.

This super tough membrane consists of a non-woven polyester felt and is reinforced with an SBS-modified bitumen mastic coating. Water just can’t get through.

External tile: High-quality 3-4mm thick hand-quarried natural slates with a density of 2850 Kg/m3.

The tile density delivers incredible thermal performance for hot and cold climates. Individual tiles are predrilled and marked with an overlapping reference in order to simplify the installation process.

READYSLATE® is installed over an approved breathable roofing underlay sitting on top of a continuous substrate such as plywood.

This continuous support means tiles are less likely to break in extreme weather events such as severe hail storms.

And in the unlikely event that a tile is broken the supporting substrate will help prevent any damage to the internal structure.

ECO-FRIENDLY

READYSLATE® uses totally natural slate moulded by nature for more than 500 million years.

You can be sure that READYSLATE® will deliver all the exceptional durability performance you can only find in 100% natural slate.

Natural building materials offer real environmental benefits for today’s world as well as for future generations.

The manufacture of READYSLATE® involves lower power consumption and CO2 emissions compared with artificial roofing materials.

That’s because our 100% natural slate is split by hand and uses no additional chemicals. READYSLATE® is a truly sustainable roofing cladding with low environmental impact.

With READYSLATE® you can keep your family warm and dry today and you’re looking after their future too.
