CUPA PIZARRAS has launched a new online Fixing Specification Tool designed to help roofing professionals, architects and specifiers produce accurate, project-specific slate fixing specifications.
Developed to simplify the specification process, the free digital tool generates fixing recommendations based on factors including project location, exposure, roof pitch and the slate selected.
Users are guided through a step-by-step process before receiving tailored fixing requirements that can be incorporated directly into project documentation.
According to CUPA PIZARRAS, the tool has been designed to support compliance with relevant industry standards while saving time during the planning and design stages. By helping ensure natural slate roofing systems are correctly specified from the outset, it also aims to reduce the potential for errors and contribute to long-term roof performance.
Julian Gómez, Marketing Director at CUPA PIZARRAS, said: “Correct specification is fundamental to the long-term performance of any natural slate roof.
“Our new Fixing Specification Tool has been developed to make the process faster and easier for architects, specifiers and contractors, providing reliable fixing recommendations that support compliance, efficiency and best practice.”
The tool forms part of CUPA PIZARRAS’ wider technical support offering for construction professionals and can be accessed at any stage of the design and specification process.
It complements the natural slate manufacturer’s existing digital tools, technical documentation and expert services, which are intended to provide support throughout the design, specification and construction stages of a project.
The company said the latest addition reinforces its commitment to helping professionals deliver high-quality, durable and sustainable natural slate roofs, while giving contractors and specifiers a practical way of determining appropriate fixing requirements for individual projects.
The Fixing Specification Tool is available free of charge here.
