CUPA PIZARRAS has provided their CUPA R12 slate for a top end housing development in Somerset. The Exeter branch of RSL recently worked closely with developer Zero C, recommending CUPA PIZARRAS to supply natural slate roofs to the developer’s top end housing development in Somerset.

The quality, long lifetime guarantee of CUPA PIZARRAS’ product as well as its highly aesthetic appearance won the specification for the West Country development, which features a listed mill property and elegant new roof designs. Tail Mill in Merriott, close to Crewkerne in Somerset, is being refurbished and converted along with the construction of new residential properties, built by developer Zero C - with the three and four bedroom executive homes.

For the Tail Mill project, it was CUPA R12 Excellence’s dark grey with thin laminations and smooth surface that appealed from a design perspective.

The Branch Manager for RSL in Exeter, Lee House, said:"There were a number of reasons for putting forward the CUPA R12 Excellence slate to the customer. It was a job where quality and longevity were paramount and we know that is always certain with CUPA PIZARRAS, with the R12 Excellence offering a 100 year guarantee. I have also dealt with the area rep, Nigel Tozer for a number of years and we get good support from the company.”

More than 10,000 slates have been supplied to Davey Roofing on the fast selling development so far by RSL, with more deliveries expected as the work continues.
