Roof Finish Options
A slate, clay or ceder shingle tiled roof are alternative roof coverings to match existing buildings in the locality. We can adapt any of our timber buildings accordingly. A tiled roof changes the way a building is constructed; wall panels require upgrading, flitch beams need to be fitted above windows and doorways etc. In addition specialist roof trusses need to be fitted to comply with building regulations. And it's all dependent on your choice of pitch and tile. By working with you and understanding your needs, Chart Stables can design the right roof for your unique situation.
Onduline
Onduline is a tried and tested roofing material which is used by the majority of stable manufacturers. Black Onduline is supplied as standard on all of our buildings, but red, brown and green are also available.
Felt & Felt Tiles
Felt is a durable and economic way to weatherproof your timber building, and felt tiles can be accepted as a replacement for clay tiles by some local authorities. Our felt products are available in a choice of four colours.
Cedar Shingles
Cedar shingles can be used as an attractive and natural looking alternative to conventional tiles.
Clay & Slate Tiles
A variety of clay and slate tiles are available, to suit your new building and the local surroundings. These do however significantly alter the way in which the building needs to be constructed and require specialist trusses, so please let us know if you are intending to have a tiled roof as early on in the design process as possible, so we can liaise with your roofing contractor to meet their specification requirements.
