From Britmet, one of the leading names in UK lightweight roofing, comes this brand-new shingle built to fulfil your roofing needs to the highest of standards. An ideal solution to roofing everything from commercial buildings to conservatories and even stables, the Britmet Shingle is a high-quality product by a company with a great deal of experience within the industry.

The Perfect Lightweight Roof

Lightweight roofs are growing in popularity across the UK, and it isn’t difficult to see why. Many are affordable, easy to install and can withstand intense weather and temperatures, without losing out on performance. Designed and constructed here in Britain, the Britmet Shingle is extremely cost effective and with quick installation, won’t drain your time, money or resources. It is also virtually maintenance free, meaning its life-cycle cost is surprisingly low. There’s no need to worry about dry-fixing either, as the Britmet Shingle comes fully dry-fixed and ready for application. Fixing is hidden, so you don’t have to worry about spoiling the visual appearance of your roof but can be assured that it is safe and secure, nonetheless.

Sturdy and resistant, the Britmet Shingle is built to withstand weather, heat and even vandalism. In fact, it is guaranteed for 40 years against weather penetration, so you can be sure that, come rain or shine, the Britmet Shingle won’t let you down in the slightest. On top of this, it is highly resistant to fire, with an AA classification that is equal to that seen in traditional roof tiles and slates. It is perfect for low pitch roofs, with a minimum pitch of 15 degrees and a maximum of 90.

A Design Tailored to You

No matter the nature of your project, whether it be commercial, educational or recreational, the Britmet Shingle is a perfect lightweight roofing option. Its versatility is thanks in no small part to not only the design and materials put into it, but the freedom you are given to cut, reshape or resize to your requirements. At the base of the shingle is a 0.45mm galvanised steel base, coated on the underside with epoxy and polyester. On the upside, another coating of epoxy primer has been applied, and on top of this an acrylic base coat. The stone granules that give the shingle its unique, characteristic texture are then applied, before the top acrylic coat completes the process and gives the shingle an excellent finish.

This specific and intricately arranged application of materials creates a product that can be used for a far wider range of roofs than would otherwise be possible. It has a minimum pitch of 15 degrees and a maximum of 90. It’s overall width of 1326mm can be cut to fit a specific size. Several shingles laid end to end will create a seamless row, and a 20mm step creates an eye-catching pattern that will stand out both on and above ground. A selection of 6 very distinct colours is available, from a dark and subtle Titanium Grey to a vivid yet natural-looking Moss Green. Other colours include Rustic Brown, Rustic Terracotta, Tartan Green and Bramble Brown. Whether you are looking for a roof that blends in with its surroundings or something that will help it to stand out from the rest, the Britmet shingle could well be the choice for you.
