Description:
Welsh Penrhyn Slate & Halves are for use with the main slate (500 x 450 mm), on the verge or gable end of a pitched roof and along hips and valleys. Additionally, slate & halves are commonly used around roof windows.
Penrhyn® Capital Grade is the thinnest production of Penrhyn® Welsh Slate at 5.5 mm.
Only limited parts of our quarries will make this slate with its fine-grained riven surface. The thinness of the slate gives a flat uniform finish to the roof and was traditionally the material transported to the more distant markets such as continental Europe and even as far away as Australia and New Zealand.
Natural slate from Welsh Slate’s Penrhyn® quarry produces what is widely regarded as the finest roofing slates in the world. Its durability, which sets it apart from all other slates, is derived from its density and the geological formation found in that part of North Wales.
Penrhyn® Quarry has been in operation for over 400 years and roofing slate from Penrhyn has been widely used across the UK. Heather Blue in colour, the Penrhyn® slate is renowned for its beauty and premium quality.
Penrhyn® Heather Blue slate, also known as Bangor Blue and Penrhyn® Purple, is produced from a fine-grained slate deposit, laid down over 500 million years ago in the Cambrian period.
Penrhyn® Quarry in the heart of Snowdonia is one of the largest slate quarries in the world, and has been in commercial production for over seven centuries. The properties of the Penrhyn® slate allow it to be split into thin sheets but still retain its strength and unparalleled durability.
