Contessa Prime Natural Spanish Slate & Half Roof Tile Blue Black - 500mm x 375mm

The Contessa Prime Natural Spanish Slate & Half Roof Tile 500mm x 375mm is designed to work alongside standard 500mm x 250mm Spanish slate roof tiles, helping to maintain correct bonding and alignment across a pitched roof.

Commonly referred to as a slate and a half, this larger format tile is used at verges, edges, and abutments where a full slate cannot be used. It allows roofers to avoid small cut pieces, ensuring a cleaner finish and improved weather resistance across the roofline.

Manufactured from high-quality natural Spanish slate, this tile features a consistent thickness of approximately 4–5mm, a smooth surface, and neatly dressed edges for a professional appearance. The classic blue black slate finish provides a traditional look, while any natural pyrite present is inert and does not affect performance.

Like the standard Contessa range, this natural roofing slate achieves a W1 S1 T1 rating, offering excellent resistance to water absorption, thermal movement, and harsh UK weather conditions. It is an essential component for any natural slate roof installation, ensuring both structural integrity and a high-quality finish.
