Product/Service Name
Ceramic Slate Tiles: Natural Slate Tiles: Roofing by Nu-lok
ApplicationsThe Nu-lok system was designed in Australia and is now widely used in diverse climates all over the world. Nu-lok replaces the traditional wooden battens with a lightweight galvanised steel grid system. The patented system incorporates specially designed link channels containing a high grade 316 steel clip for securing the leading tile edge, locked in place between galvanised steel battens. This link channel eliminates the need for double lapping the slates, as water passing through the gaps between the slates is automatically routed onto the surface of the slate below. As a result the nu-lok system requires fewer slates and less labour than traditional roofing methods to deliver a surprisingly affordable roof option.
