ISOFLEX FOCUSES ON FLEXIBILITY Isoflex Professional High Performance Liquid Rubber
is five times more flexible than traditional bitumen coatings, providing up to 20 years of protection for all types of roofing including felt, asphalt, slate and tiles. Its tough, durable finish will not crack or peel and can be used on virtually all roofing surfaces, making it the professional’s choice for roof repairs. As its name implies, Isoflex Professional Liquid Rubber flexes with the natural movement of the roof, is UV and weather-
resistant for any conditions, and dries in just twelve hours. After a good stir of the tin, Isoflex is easy-to- use, spreads well and fills gaps and overlaps on any roofing surface.
To make roof repairs even easier and more effective, Isoflex Special Primer provides the perfect prep for the most difficult roofing surfaces, even old roofing felt, tiles, bricks, cracked bitumen and mastic repairs.
CUPA PIZARRAS SLATES ROOF
The dramatic boomerang-shaped roof of a country house in Stirlingshire has been created using 900m2 of CUPA PIZARRAS’ Heavy 3 roofing slate.

KLOBER GOES TO EXTREMES
Permo® extreme RS SK2 from Klober is a waterproof, tear-resistant underlay, designed for use on low pitched roofs. Suitable for profile tiles pitched at 12.5o or more, 15o for slates and 22.5o for plain tiles; it is manufactured from a bondable two-layered underlay with a shrink-resistant TPU coating on a robust PES (polyethersulphone) fleece which allows vapour to escape, while keeping
rain water out. Double self-adhesive edge strips provide a permanent seal and immediate weatherproofing against wind, rain and snow; while the PES fleece also incorporates a capillary stop to control the formation of condensation. This means that, unlike traditional vapour permeable underlays which provide limited weather protection if left, Permo® extreme can provide a temporary
MARLEY GOES FOURTH BUTE ADDS THIN EDGE
Marley has introduced a fourth colour option to its Edgemere slate range. Available across all three of Marley’s existing variants - Standard, Riven and Duo, the new Anthracite colour choice has been developed to provide a closer aesthetic match to natural slate and offers an affordable way to comply with planning requirements. The Edgemere range can be used to a low minimum pitch of 17.5
degrees, with the Riven providing a surface texture similar to a more natural slate appearance with a variegated look, depth and tone. In addition, the Duo option features a mock-bond down the centre of the tile to create a small-format slate- like appearance.
Anthracite joins the existing range of colours including: Old English Dark Red, Smooth Brown and the most popular colour, Smooth Grey, which has seen strong growth due to the aesthetic trend towards slate-look roofs for new homes.
At only 18mm thick and sleek in appearance, the slates can be viewed as an affordable alternative to natural slate, or a cost-effective upgrade from standard concrete interlocking tiles

Russell Roof Tiles’ Bute tile, has been used on the Sheldons Reach housing development in Hampshire. Bute is a thinner leading-edge flat interlocking tile which, when laid at a headlap of 145mm or 165mm, gives the appearance of a small slates or traditional plain tile with the commercial benefit of a larger format tile. Manufactured from concrete, Bute was created to replicate the look of natural roofing materials, ensuring materials are adhering to local planning requirements. Bute is now the fastest growing product in Russell’s thinner leading-edge range. In particular, the South has been the fastest growing market with major housebuilders specifying a small format tile.
Bute’s double tile format also has a mock when laid broken bonded and is available in 11 carefully selected colours.
Like all of Russell Roof Tiles’ thinner leading-edge range, Bute is manufactured using 15% fewer raw materials than a standard flat interlocking tile and are delivered to site on fewer pallets.
is punctuated by four tall chimneys, which, together with the stunning Alpine- inspired oversized roof overhangs, add real visual interest to the property. A blue black slate with a slightly gritty texture, CUPA PIZARRAS Heavy 3 is produced in two thicknesses, 3.5mm and 7-8mm; the thicker variant being the preferred choice in Scotland with the extra thickness and weight giving it strength to withstand the high wind speeds and driving rain.
