The better the quality of the photo the better the end result!

All our wall fixed slates come with the Z bar fixings included, however we do not supply the screws to attach the bar to the wall as different types of wall need different screws.
Our 300mm x 200mm also has a stand option & we supply an Allen key to enable the stand to be attached to the slate.

Our slate is high quality & exceptionally resilient to water ingress and frost shattering, after all, it’s over 50 million years old & has been used on rooftops for over 500 years.
Our slates are sealed with a top quality sealer.
