CUPA PIZARRAS‘ Heavy 3 roof slate has been installed on a new self-build home in Cawthorne, South Yorkshire. Specified to echo the traditional style of neighbouring properties, the slate also provides a clean striking finish that complements the home’s extensive glazing.
Located on the edge of Cawthorne conservation area, the large self build property was designed by CODA Studios, with key design aspirations to increase natural light and add a modern twist to the traditional design. A natural slate finish was requested for the cross-gable roof by the end client to match an existing bungalow on the site which had established the footprint and style of the new dwelling.
Martyn Taylor, contractor from Taylor Development Service LTD, comments: “The CUPA PIZARRAS Heavy 3 slate was recommended to me by Burton Roofing Merchants. I would highly recommend it as it was really nice to work with, so installation was easy. The natural slate complemented the tones of the Yorkshire stone property and those surrounding it, and we eventually installed 400 metres square of the slate. The finish is fantastic.”
CUPA PIZARRAS Heavy 3 slate comes in blue/black with a gritty texture, replicating traditional Scottish highland slate from Ballachulish, which is no longer available to purchase.
It is heavier and thicker than standard slates – 7 to 8mm thick – which means it has the strength to withstand high-speed winds and driving rain. As a natural slate product, Heavy 3 is also chemical, UV and pollutant resistant as well as non-combustible. As such it comes with a 100-year warranty as standard.
Tom Holmes, architect from CODA Studios, says: “We had never heard of CUPA PIZARRAS slate before but now, since using it, we would highly recommend it. The product looks great and we now regularly suggest it to other clients.”
The property owner adds: “I would highly recommend CUPA PIZARRAS Heavy 3 slate, as the finish of my roof is excellent. The natural slate complements the house nicely, as well as the properties in the surrounding area.”
