Tapco DaVinci Select Shake Starter Tile Pack of 22 - Aged Cedar

The DaVinci Select Shake Starter Tile is an essential dry-fix accessory designed for use with the DaVinci Select Shake roofing system. Acting as a starter or eaves tile, it helps create a seamless and professional finish for any roof. Available in three stocked Select Shake colours, it blends perfectly with your existing tiles for a natural and cohesive look.

Made from the same high-quality material as the DaVinci Select Shake tiles, this starter tile not only looks great but is built to last. It meets the same high standards as the roofing tiles, offering excellent durability and performance in all weather conditions.

Why Choose DaVinci Select Shake Starter Tiles?

One of the key benefits of these tiles is their lightweight design, weighing as little as 14kg per square metre. This makes them much easier to handle and install. To make fitting even simpler, they come with pre-marked nailing guides, helping you get the job done quickly and accurately.

Cutting them to size is hassle-free too – you can use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility blade for precise adjustments. Once installed, they are mechanically fixed, ensuring a secure and long-lasting application.

To match your roofing seamlessly, these tiles are available in three colours. And with a 40-year warranty, you can have confidence that they’ll stand the test of time. They’ve been rigorously tested to BBA standards, proving their resistance to fire, wind, driven snow and rain, as well as water absorption.

Unlike some roofing materials, these starter tiles are not made from recycled plastics. Instead, they’re crafted from recyclable virgin polyethylene, making them a responsible choice for sustainability without compromising on quality.
