An outstanding installation that saw SSQ’s celebrated Riverstone phyllite transform a Sheffield primary school has won ‘Best use of slate for a commercial project’ in the coveted Pitched Roofing Awards.
The latest innovation from SSQ is set to change the face of natural roofs across Britain and beyond. For decades, the only ridges available for slate roofs were ones that clashed with the material’s natural aesthetics.
With high winds prevalent on the Orkney Islands, a solution was required to withstand the elements when it came to roofing a new facility for elderly and vulnerable members of the community – the BMI Redland Mini Stonewold Slate was chosen.
Smithy Cottage, an unusual, cruciform shaped new-build property in Warrington, has recently been constructed using CUPA PIZARRAS’ CUPA 2 natural slates.
CUPA PIZARRAS’ Heavy 3 natural slate has delivered a traditional aesthetic to a contemporary unique residential property in the Bearsden conservation area.
