This handsome care home roof in Wales demonstrates Cambrian's low pitch capability.
Unlike natural slates and most concrete tiles, Cambrian can be laid on pitches as low as 15 degrees opening up possibilities for both new builds and when approaching re-roofing projects.
When planners or clients look at replacing an old natural slate roof, they often expect a like-for-like replacement to be the best solution. However modern building regulations or issues such as timber load, ventilation, water ingress issues or British Standards can make this problematic.
This beautiful roof on the 111-year old Lochwinnoch Primary School is a great example of Cambrian replacing traditional slates in a Conservation Area and area of special architectural importance.
When choosing Cambrian you’ll benefit from the complete support and comprehensive guarantees of BMI Redland. SpecMaster is our free-of-charge, time-saving roof specification service designed to relieve architects and specifiers of writing complex roof specifications. What’s more, roofs designed and built in accordance with SpecMaster are covered by our whole roof 15-year guarantee; alongside end-to-end technical support and a dedicated manager offering guidance throughout the entire process.
I love this image of Paul, one of our Technical Specification Managers, examining the Cambrian roof in progress and providing technical support, at Parbrook Court Housing Care, Bristol.
We often get asked if Cambrian, an engineered slate, can really pass for a natural slate roof....
Here's a shot of a couple of residential properties - one with natural slate and one using Cambrian. Can you spot the difference? (Hint: Cambrian is the house on the right!)
Due to the unique design and optimised weatherbar protection and three-point fixing system, Cambrian is suitable for the most exposed sites and extreme weather conditions. Take a look at this reroof of Burgh Apartments on the Devon coast. Architect, Eilir Sheryn, said "In this area a lot of natural slates are being blown up and snapped by the strong winds so having a product like Cambrian that fixes so securely gave me the confidence I needed."
