Roofing Slates

Roofing slates deliver timeless beauty and exceptional durability that few other roofing materials can match. Whether you're restoring a period property or specifying materials for a new build, natural and manufactured slate options provide the weather resistance and longevity that Ireland's climate demands, with many installations lasting well over a century.

Our Range of Slate Roofing Products

McMahons stocks a comprehensive selection to suit projects of every scale and specification.

• Concrete bullnose slate tiles 420x330mm - concrete tiles with a rounded lower edge giving a softer, more traditional profile, available in black.
• Concrete M-profile tiles - M-profile interlocking concrete tiles in black for roofs requiring an interlocking profile for increased weather resistance and faster installation.
• Concrete pantiles - traditional S-curve pantile profile in black, offering a distinctive undulating roofline suited to period properties and agricultural buildings.

Consider the building's location, pitch, and aesthetic requirements when selecting your slate. Natural options suit heritage projects and exposed sites where longevity justifies the investment, while fibre cement alternatives work well for new builds where budget and installation speed are priorities. Always check thickness and size compatibility with your batten spacing and fixings.
