Marley Eternit 'Rivendale'
Fibre cement slate
'Rivendale slates offer the latest in outstanding aesthetics. The finely detailed textured surface and dressed edge closely resemble natural slate and will add the appeal of a natural slate look to any roof. This, combined with the lightweight, strength and durability of Rivendale slates, make them a perfect choice for all projects.
Colours
The slates will lighten after exposure to sunlight. Weathering will slowly affect the surface coating to expose the coloured base material. This lightening is similar to that experienced with natural slate. Please refer to BS 5534 Section 5.6 for further details.
