Forticrete
will be showcasing its innovative range of precision engineered concrete
building products at the Build Show, part of UK Construction Week (October 9-11
2018).
Amongst the products on display will be its Low Pitched Roof Window System and SL8® large format roof tile.
Forticrete’s
low pitch roof window system has been
specifically developed to enable roof windows to be installed at pitches as low
as 10° - much lower than many other systems, when used with Forticrete’s
Centurion roof tile.
Designed
primarily for single storey extensions, the
revolutionary system includes a patented two-piece tray drainage flow
system. This stops water pooling and leaking by collecting water running under
the tiles, dispersing it and controlling its flow into the guttering with no
overshoot.
The SL8 roof tile is another innovation designed to meet
the increasing demands of the roofing market. With
just 8 tiles per square metre needed it provides greater coverage with
approximately 20% less tiles required per roof. It also has the visual characteristics of natural slate with benefits
that no other interlocking tile can match.
John
Lambert, Managing Director of Forticrete, says the Build Show is the ideal
opportunity to discover Forticrete’s range of products. He comments: “With well
documented waiting times for popular building products, and margins being
squeezed, we’re actively encouraging everybody in the supply chain to look at
the alternatives, such as products made from concrete.
"Our
precision engineered range includes products which are revolutionary in design
and meet the growing demands of the construction sector. By considering
materials that are sustainable, durable and have a more competitive price
point, it provides a win-win for everyone in the supply chain.”
