Decra, the first roofing
company in the UK to win SBD accreditation, will top
an unprecedented year of innovative product launches
with its debut at BSEC08 at its new Manchester home.
Several of Decra’s flagship products will be shown
on the stand (126, Manchester Central, formerly G-Mex,
February 12-13) including the new Elegance tile
which uses the same paint technology as Audi
engineering.
Elegance adopts the Decra trend of an additional
protective coating on the underside which is unique
to the brand and gives it even greater longevity but
has a powder coating on the upper surface as opposed
to the traditional Decra granular coating.
Available in three satin finishes and a high-gloss
elegant black, it is also the basis for dry- and
cool-roof versions which have self-cleaning and
heat-reflecting capabilities respectively.
Decra’s lightweight roof tiles were revolutionary
when they were launched in this country and the
company marked its 30th UK anniversary last year
(2007) by becoming the first roofing systems
supplier to win SBD (Secured By Design)
accreditation.
The Elegance tile, as well as Decra’s existing
Classic, Stratos and Decra Plus tiles and its cool
and dry roof technologies, were all tested to LPS
1175 Level 1 with certification through the BRE.
This means that Decra products are the only roofing
ones in the UK that can be supplied to a Police
Preferred Specification.
Decra tiles are easy to handle, quick to install,
exceptionally durable and low maintenance. In fact,
independent research for Decra has shown their steel
tiles are up to 66% cheaper than other roofing
systems based on a whole life costing basis.
