Description

SlateSpacer™ is a concealed, stainless steel spacer that rests beneath the end of each roofing slate. It prevents the broad surfaces of slates from touching.

Wide, flexible and very thin (1.2 mm (less than 1/16")), SlateSpacer™ offers the benefits of separating slates without creating breakage or weather entry problems.

SlateSpacer™ works on nailed or hooked installations, on open or closed roof structures. It installs quickly with a simple insert-and-twist motion (no fasteners required).

See SlateSpacer™video.
