The Britmet Lightweight Metal Rooftile Slate 2000 offers a hassle-free installation process and is characterized by its lightweight nature and is suitable for low-pitch roofs. It emulates the appearance of traditional slate with its broken bond finish. This roofing material is available in six colours and requires minimal maintenance. It is constructed using the finest grade Aluzinc steel and coated with a granulated finish.

This roofing material is suitable for various applications, including educational and commercial buildings, flat-to-pitch conversions, community centres, vertical cladding, holiday homes, park homes, camping pods, stables, conservatories, lean-tos, and garages.

The lightweight slate 2000 system by Britmet is equivalent to five traditional slates in width and one slate in height. This feature allows for faster installation and cost savings.
