The slates are laid over the Isoline underlay roofing sheet using specially designed battens which provide stability to the slates, which are in turn secured by unique interlocking hooks. It is therefore not necessary to form a hole in the slate and fix with conventional nails or screws. The handling and fixing of the product is theredore made easy resulting in a quick installation time
Material Economy

Isoline is the established market leading corrugated tile underlay system for clay and concrete roof tiles. Now by using the isoline special batten and slate clip system the same enhanced weathering performance can also be applied to slate roofs and significantly reduce costs by decreasing the number of slates required. Exapmle: The typical slate requirement for covering a conventional double lapped 1m roof surface is nominal 2.4m² of slates. In comparison to only 1.18m² of slate using the Isoline system, thus reducing slate usage by 50% producing a substanital cost saving.

Lightweight Roof

The reduction in the number of slates required to cover the roof also provides a substantial reduction in the weight the roof is subjected too. Expamle: The weight of a traditionally laid slate roof being nominally 30-35 kg/m²; whilst the weight of an Isoline slate system roof is only 16 kg/m².

Nowadays, despite the high initial cost of natural slate roofing products it is being increasingly selected in preference to more modern clay, concrete and metal lapped roofing materials. The reason for this choice is the classical aesthetic quality natural slate imparts on modern architectural projects.
This natural beauty is supported by the extended service life of slate, which can be calculated in centenaries; as witnessed by the number of slate roofs in Europe still providing excellent service after a hundred years or more. This prestigious appeal is why many customers look beyond it's initial higher installation costs and select slate on their projects. Ardoise with Isoline System Sample Roof

The advanced batten design provdes increased wind uplift resistance by retaining each slate tightly in place. The modular design of the batten system saves considerable time in aligning and fixing the slates. Slate is a very strong material and it is difficult to damage under normal conditions however, should accidental damage occur not only does the Isoline sheet provide assured secondary weathering but it's unique hook retaining system allows a single slate to be simply replaced without the need to disturb adjacent overlapping slates, as required on a conventionally laid slate roof.
The Contribution of The Modern Technology to The Prestige of The Natural Material

The Isoline system is the perfect blend of modern technology with traditional natural material. The combination of natural slate and advanced Isoline forms the ideal roof covering, requiring fewer slates and making fixing easier and faster, producing a prestigious, durable and easily maintained roof covering.
