Brazilian Slate
Natural Brazilian Roofing Slate
Catalao Slate
Catalao Grey Green
& Catalao Graphite
Catalao Brazilian slate is a fine-grained stone derived from an original shale-type sediment, with a low-grade metamorphism. It has been used in the UK for over 25 years, offering a substantial cost saving over Spanish and Welsh alternatives and proving to be more than fit for purpose.
Our Catalao slate is produced in Papagaios (Minas Gerais) from one traceable source and is available in two colours: Grey-green and Graphite.
Catalao slates have traditionally been used on major projects and prestige buildings not only for their aesthetical properties but because this slate is unaffected by sunlight, ultraviolet light and even acid rain.
Catalao from European Slate company is an attractive and long lasting material which can be relied on to withstand the most severe weather conditions and to exceed the lifetime of the building if installed correctly.
All Brazilian Roofing slate needs to be treated differently to slates from Spain or the UK. For example when installing on your roof, you may experience a higher wastage factor with this product as opposed to slates from other countries. A good way to alleviate some of that wastage is to fix the product using Stainless Steel slate hooks rather than nailing.
