46 Roofing THRUTONE ENDURANCE FROM TEGRAL Is Ireland’s Strongest Roofing Slate Your roof is one of the most important features when building your dream home. Y ou need reassurance that the roof you choose not only looks impressive but is also structurally sound and resilient to extreme weather conditions. That’s why Tegral, a market leader in roofing and Ireland’s only manufacturer of fibre-cement roof slates, recently announced the launch of Thrutone Endurance, Ireland’s strongest-ever slate. Thrutone Endurance is the highest density slate in the Irish market which means it offers the best resistance to Ireland’s famously volatile weather, with the extra fibres giving the product its highest flexural strength and a specialist silicone paint providing a unique type of water repellence. Thrutone Endurance is accredited to the highest environmental standard BES 6001 and Tegral, employing over 130 people in Athy, Co. Kildare, is the only Irish roofing manufacturer to achieve this rating. As well as being “Irish-made for Irish weather’ and an elegant and beautifully designed product to dress any roof, Thrutone Endurance comes with a 20 year colour and 30 year structural guarantee from Tegral, an established company which has been manufacturing slates for almost 80 years, giving both roofing contractors and home-owners the ultimate peace of mind.
