CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROOFING OPTION

Any homeowner wants their house to be as safe as possible and it all starts with the roof. That is why choosing the right roofing material is so important. These questions and answers will help you to make the right choice, says slate producer Cupa Pizarr

Q Why should I re-roof?

A A new roof is an investment that always pays off. It will save you money, boost your home’s value and avoid structural issues and other problems.

Q What material should I choose?

A Natural slate can last over a hundred years, making it a cost-effective roofing material: the repair and maintenance expenses during its lifetime are extremely low. Hence the use of natural slate results in high quality and a low whole life cost.

Q What’s the lifespan of a natural slate roof?

A A poor-quality roof needs constant repair and maintenance. Many roofing materials generally have a lifespan of 20-30 years, but natural slate roofs will perform better than any other material. In fact, Cupa R12 Excellence slate, from Cupa Pizarras, comes with a 100year warranty directly from the quarry.

Q Are all roofing slates the same?

A Not at all. Slate’s natural qualities make it suitable for re-roofing any type of building, but not all the slates are equal.

Cupa R12 Excellence is a high-quality dark grey natural slate with an incredible homogeneity. This uniformity makes it easy to install, while ensuring a one of a kind texture that meets the demands of any design.

Q Why is this slate so different from any other ones?

A The slate’s characteristics depend on where it has been extracted. That is why it is so important to validate the reputation from both the quarry and the company producing it.

Cupa R12 Excellence slates are quarried from the Cupa Pizarras’ number 12 quarry in northern Spain. The company’s control of the whole production process enables it to have a unique traceability system to identify the origin, type, technical data and production dates for each slate. Thanks to its higher grading selection process compared to other natural slates, Cupa R12 Excellence is considered to be a premium Spanish roofing slate.

Its unmatchable technical properties make it the best choice for British roofs and it is widely regarded as one of the best and longest lasting natural slates in the world. For more information, callcupapizarrason01312253111oremail uk@cupapizarras.com. H
