Peterh Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I am in the process of recovering a roof in Spanish Slates described as "1erchoix". A number of slates were broken and others broke in my hands. As a precaution I have been lightly twisting slates before putting them on the roof and a large proportion (10% - 15%) have broken due to inherrent weekness. I have two questions. Namely, is it usual to expect a percentage to be broken and could I expect these to be replaced and, secondly, is it reasonable to subject slates to minor pressure prior to use? I would add that I have bought these slates through a reputable builders merchants. I would be grateful for any advice that can be offered. Many Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
