en.Wedoany.com Reported - NP Architects and roofing contractor Roof Brothers recently utilized CUPA PIZARRAS' Readyslate, CUPA 12, and CUPACLAD products in a modern family home project in the village of Little Everden, Cambridgeshire, UK. Facing strict planning permissions in a historic village regarding roof materials and ridge heights, the project team leveraged Readyslate's ability to be installed at pitches as low as 12.5 degrees, solving the installation challenge of roof sections with only a 16-degree pitch, achieving a uniform natural slate finish.

The project site is located in a historic village, where planning permission required slate roof covering and ridge heights not exceeding those of adjacent buildings. Traditional natural slate is only suitable for steeper roof pitches, while the lower ridge height resulted in some roof sections having only a 16-degree pitch, posing a challenge for conventional installation methods. CUPA PIZARRAS' Readyslate, installable on roof pitches as low as 12.5 degrees, became the key solution to this issue.

Anastasija Ladcenko, Project Architect at NP Architects, stated that the project outcome was excellent, combining the slate facade with the slate roof to achieve a unified aesthetic meeting client requirements while adhering to planning restrictions. Victor Wakefield, Director of Roof Brothers, noted that Readyslate was quick and easy to install, taking only one week from start to finish, with the entire roofing project completed within five weeks.

The completed home successfully balances modern architectural design with the environmental regulations of its historic village setting. Products used in the project include: CUPA 12, a dark grey natural slate with thin bedding, a smooth surface, and an average split thickness of 5mm and 6mm; CUPACLAD, a natural slate rainscreen cladding system offering cladding solutions from traditional to modern; and READYSLATE, the first pre-assembled real slate roofing system, developed and patented by CUPA PIZARRAS.
