Forticrete Roofing Products replicate natural materials cost-effectively, combining  traditional appeal with the advantages of modern manufacturing  technology, creating complete roofing systems.

Whether replicating natural stone, slate or traditional plain tiles, Forticrete Roofing Products also offer additional benefits over and above cost advantages, including features that make them kinder to the environment, enabling selected products to bear the unique ECOTILE or ECOSLATE registered marks.

Hardrow Slates have been recreating the architectural properties of natural stone or slate since 1928. With a wide range of sizes, they can be laid in either random widths or diminishing courses for an authentic, traditional appearance. Extremely durable, they also mellow with age and are available in 10 natural colours as Solos or in 10 blended colour options as Duets that replicate the appeal of natural stone or slate that has been weathered over time.

With a double camber and a central groove, the Gemini tile recreates the aesthetic appeal of traditional plain tiles, with a host of additional benefits. It can be laid down to pitches of 22.5, much lower than a plain tile - so it can be used on more roofs, using one third of the tiles; is lighter; saves on fixings, roof battens and roof trusses, making it both cost effective and environmentally friendly.

MINISLATE and Rivenslate successfully replicate the aesthetics of a small format natural slate much more cost-effectively and are laid with the ease and security of a conventional interlocking tile.

Each product is just a component in comprehensive roofing systems that include complementary products for detailing at perimeters and junctions and innovative mortar-free solutions and roof ventilation systems.
