Available in a variety of colours and styles, Decra roof tiles were ideal for use on the Mosspits School project due to their lightweight nature, with some 3,500 Stratos tiles being installed across the entire roof, without putting any undue pressure on the supporting structure underneath.
Stratos tiles, which are produced with the aesthetics of a slate roof, are compatible for use in new build, conversion and refurbishment projects with a maximum pitch of 90°, down to a minimum pitch of 12°.
Manufactured with aesthetics and durability in mind, the Stratos tiles are ideal for use on school projects especially. Tony Sh
ipley, Clerk of Works at Mosspits School agrees, “Due to the nature of the building, we needed a long lasting material that would continue to look good long after its initial installation. As such, Decra’s Stratos roof tiles offered the ideal solution. Aesthetically speaking, the tiles blend in perfectly with the surrounding landscape whilst also being strong enough to withstand the elements.”
Weighing just one eighth of their traditional counterparts, Decra’s range of lightweight steel roof tiles can be used in both low and high pitched roof situations and are installed with ease using a dry fix method and no need for routers onsite.
The durability of the tiles and the strength of the fixing means the system delivers a low whole life cost – it is largely unlikely that individual tiles will need to be replaced at a later date.
Andy Pack commented on behalf of Decra Roof Systems, “For local authority projects, such as Mosspits School, budgets and timescales are often tight. As our lightweight roof tiles are virtually maintenance free and extremely impact resistant, it is possible to reduce a building’s whole life costs, providing long-term savings. Manufactured with the aesthetics of clay, slate and concrete, the steel tiles are far more durable yet still offer the features associated with traditional materials.”
