HEAVY 3 slate naturally possess
the density and resilience required to cope with the most volatile of
weather conditions, and with an unrivalled thickness of 7.5mm this
product's quality and durability is unequivocal.
A poor quality roof needs constant repair and maintenance, but when
good quality slate is used, those expenses during its lifetime are
extremely low. Since CUPA PIZARRAS’ slate entered the Scottish market
in the early nineties there have been no HEAVY 3 slate re-roofing
incidents.
The slate characteristics depend on where it has
been extracted. That is why it is imperative to validate the
reputation from both the quarry and the company which produces it.
Heavy 3 slate is quarried from the CUPA PIZARRAS No 3 quarry in northern Spain since 1892.
During these 125 years HEAVY 3 has earned its reputation as a reliable
and versatile product. With such a long pedigree, CUPA PIZARRAS'
confidence in its products and its high standards of quality are
further substantiated by its unwavering 100-years warranty.
HEAVY
3 possesses a breadth of aesthetic and practical advantages;
medium-grained and blue-black in colour with occasional quartz grains
detectable on the surface, it is visually appealing. Also, as well as
being impermeable, non-combustible, UV resistant and unaffected by
chemicals and pollutants, HEAVY 3 is repellent to the growth of mould
and fungi making it suitable for all environmental conditions.
The product's popularity has gained momentum in Scotland due to its
close resemblance to the traditional highland slate from Ballachulish
that is no longer produced. This factor alone makes HEAVY 3 the
primary choice for traditional Scottish slate roof replacements or
repairs.
The benefits extend further still - significantly
thicker than all of its competitors, HEAVY 3 provides maximum
endurance against the high wind speeds and driving rain that is so
common throughout Scotland and is therefore ideal for new-build
roofing projects too.
