The Balmoral interlocking riven slate is a new concept in roofing that uses the
natural properties of clay to give the visual appearance of a natural slate, combined
with economic benefits of interlocking tile design.
To ensure an authentic slate appearance the Balmoral has a riven surface and
dressed edges which provide a detailed and textured appearance, whilst its proportions
are designed to take the form of a smaller thicker variety of slate formerly quarried
in Scotland. The slate colour of the Balmoral, as with any clay tile, comes from
the firing process and is permanent: it will not fade.
