Reproduction Yorkshire “Greys” Roofing Slate is a high quality alternative to Natural Stone Slate

greys artstone logosGreys Artstone Random Diminishing Reproduction Stone replicates the Natural Sandstone roofing originally used in areas such as the Yorkshire Dales and Derbyshire Dales National Parks.
With veins of Random Diminishing stone roofing also gracing properties in Lancashire and Cheshire the appearance the slates provide an appearance of distinction that would grace any home, either new, contemporary or refurbish.

natural weathered 53Due to the closure of quarries over the decades, the Natural Sandstone has been increasingly difficult to source in all areas, and therefore cost of purchasing the reclaimed product massively increasing.
Detailed moulding, a choice of colours and a range of sizes create a coursed and diminishing stone slate roof.
The glass fibre cement construction provides a light yet durable roofing material.
An easy to lay format and a range of compatible products, including ridges and in-line ventilation systems, create an extremely versatile and cost effective alternative to natural products.
Each individual slate is hand crafted using moulds taken from stone slate originals.
As with natural stone, shades vary with no two slates being identical. This combined with the surface detail and hand colouring ensures a truly authentic roofscape.
Greys Artstone roofing slates have been designed in consultation with professional roofers and architects, to achieve an easy to lay slating format, resulting in a coursed and diminishing stone slate roof.

Designed to Diminish

Our slates are designed to give a random diminished course roofscape. A wide range of sizes ensure the roof can be laid using a random diminishing course technique providing greater weather protection and an authentic look.
