Tapco is a leading manufacturer of synthetic slate-effect roof tiles based in the North-East of England. Tapco roof tiles are moulded on natural slates, and add an elegant, premium aesthetic to any property or structure, whether that’s a conservatory, residential property, or even a listed building.

Their authentic design is almost indistinguishable from real slate, featuring a randomly textured face and refined edges. Tapco tiles are available to buy in a selection of tasteful colours and blends and are suitable for pitches as low as 14.5°.

Benefits of Tapco Tiles

Tapco roof tiles are renowned for their superb longevity, with a 40-year guarantee. Tapco’s unique formulation and manufacturing process uses recyclable virgin Dolomite limestone and polypropylene to craft a truly durable, high-performance roof tile.

Tapco tiles are temperature resistant, and will not crack, break, curl, lift, or delaminate, and they’re water impermeable. What’s more, “Stay-True” technology combats the negative effects of exposure to UV light, preventing any fading from happening throughout their lifetime.

Tapco tiles are designed to be easy to install, even for homeowners. At just 0.65kg per tile, these tiles are easy to work with on-site, and come packaged in handy bundles of 25. Tapco roof and ridge tiles can be fixed mechanically with a hammer and nails or a nail gun, perfect for DIYers.

These tiles also come with pre-marked nailing, exposure guides, and spacers, eliminating guesswork and speeding up installation. They’re also designed to be easy to cut, whether with a fine-tooth hand saw or utility blade. So, whether your roof is small or large, choosing Tapco tiles means installation will be fast, easy, and involve minimal wastage.

Meeting and Exceeding Industry Standards

No other synthetic slate roof tile has passed the same rigorous battery of standards and testing that Tapco has. Tapco roof tiles are LABC & LABSS registered, and either meet or exceed BBA, ETA, and CE standards, including fire rating, wind, driven snow & rain, and water absorption.

What’s more, after extensive BRE testing in wind-driven rain, Tapco tiles were found to perform better than all equivalent materials, and at a lower roof pitch. They are also AA fire rated according to BS EN 476 Part 3 when installed on a boarded roof.
