Cembrit slates rise to the challenge

Cembrit Jutland fibre cement slates have been used for a newly built apartment block in Poole. The slates were chosen to add flexibility and aesthetic appeal to the development.

Inverclyde House is a newly built three storey development that consists of 18 two and three bedroom flats. Located on the south coast of England in Poole, the apartments are central to schools, hospitals and the town centre.

Bournemouth-based contractor, AST Roofing installed 7,000 600x300mm blue/black Cembrit Jutland fibre cement slates, covering approximately 450m2.

Paul Stevens, Managing Director of AST Roofing, said: "We had to take great care in achieving a neat mitred hip detail, and Cembrit Jutland slates allowed us to do so. The consistency in quality with these slates was impressive. Not only does it mean that the product is easy to work with, but it provides a smooth finish that can’t be achieved with other roofing materials.”
