The Stoneleaf Classic
The Stoneleaf Classic is a natural roof slate with a lightly textured surface, blue grey in colour and very regular in thickness.
The Classic has the traditional look of natural slate, whilst being easy to lay due to the excellent selection and sorting process at the point of production.
The Classic has passed the rigorous process to achieve approval for use in the Snowdonia National Park. Deemed hardy enough to withstand harsh environments within the Snowdonia National Park and offers a robust alternative with the equivalent colour, texture and weathering characteristics to the Welsh slate once quarried from Ffestiniog and Maenofferen quarries.
This approval gives specifiers and roofers confidence in the quality and performance of the slate, knowing it will last a lifetime and still look good to withstand all weather conditions.
The exceptional quality of the sourced rock enables the Stoneleaf Classic to be produced in larger formats, up to 600 x 450mm.
Case Study - Hatfield Place, Hatfield Heath, Essex
This grand house on the outskirts of Chelmsford has been carefully restored. More recently the venue has extended and repaired a collection of buildings for use as wedding and function rooms.
The Orangery was been fully restored and Stoneleaf Classic Best grade slates were selected as the best match for the existing house and best suited to the venue's prestigious appearance.
Roofing work completed by Donald Roofing in Mid 2019 this luxury wedding venue has now placed host to many happy couples. The Classic Best grade boast a 100 year guarantee so we're confident the Orangery will continue to be the perfect back drop to weddings for a long time!
