Duo Edgemere interlocking concrete slates are designed to mimic the appearance of traditional small-format slates with the advantage of a mock bond. This design creates a slate-like visual effect while offering excellent covering capacity, making them an ideal choice for a variety of roofing projects. The tiles are available in a range of textures and colours, allowing homeowners or builders to select the perfect roofing material to complement their project.

One of the key benefits of the Duo Edgemere roof slate is its efficiency. While laying small-format slates can be costly and time-consuming, Duo Edgemere offers the same aesthetic appeal with the ease of installation provided by standard interlocking tiles.
