GHR Conwy Grey natural roof slate is extremely flat with a smooth even texture often used in period properties and modern homes enhancing the character of any building.

Our Conwy Grey Natural Slates bring together durability, elegance and exceptional performance for projects across the UK. Quarried from premium slate deposits, this slate provides a roof covering fit for the finest modern or period properties.
