Step-by-step plan

  1. Determine the midpoint of the roof length and place a vertical chalk line from bottom to top as the starting point for each new course of slates.
  2. Prepare the starter slate by drawing a horizontal line on the slate at the 6” marking points (= approx. 27 cm from the bottom of the slate). Cut the slate with a jigsaw.
  3. Install the starter slates by screwing the first two starter slates to the left and right of the chalk line. Use the provided nail mark. At the bottom, ensure an overhang of 3 to 4 cm. Install the subsequent starter slates next to each other so that the edge of one slate touches the side of the other.
  4. Determine the visible area according to the pitch of your roof. Find the corresponding marking line and consistently adhere to it when laying the slates.
  5. To install the next course of slates, start with a slate to the left and right of the vertical chalk line. The chosen marking line always corresponds to the top of the tile underneath. Continue working outwards in this way. Mark the size of the outer slate, cut it and screw it in place. For the next course, place the centre of the first slate on the chalk line once again.
  6. To cover the ridge, use Rustic Slate Ridge Caps. Prepare the ridge caps by cutting the non-visible part at an angle with a box cutter or jigsaw. Always start out facing the prevailing wind. Bend the ridge cap and screw in the circular marks closest to each edge of the slate. Continue like this until you reach the other end of the roof. Cut the last slate to the required width.
