The Stoneleaf Del Sil

The Stoneleaf Del Sil slate is a natural roof slate with a smooth surface, blue-black in colour, thin and easy to lay.

The Del Sil is a fairly thin slate (5 and 6mm thick), it is therefore easy to fix with a smooth flat finish and has proved popular with specifiers, developers, home owners and roofers.

Stoneleaf Del Sil slates have been independently tested and meet all the requirements of the European Standard BS EN 12326:Part 1 2014, including top ratings A1, T1, S1 for water absorption, thermal cycle and sulphur dioxide exposure, thereby making them suitable for use in all construction environments.
