CUPA Natural Slate has been chosen as the roofing material for this architecturally interesting complex, which celebrates history and embraces modern day living.

CUPA Natural slate compliments Rippondens natural surroundings

CUPA natural slate was the perfect choice for the roofing at Ripponden Housing development in West Yorkshire. Built by Charles Church Homes Ltd., the four and five bedroom homes have been designed to blend in with the Pennine countryside and the roofing detail had to complement not only the design of the homes but also the surrounding architecture and landscaping.

Lakeland dwellings harmonise with Cupa Natural Slate

The Maltings, Haddington

Located in the heart of East Lothian, between the Lammermuir Hills and the Firth of Forth, The Maltings is situated within the desirable market town of Haddington and is home to 66 luxury homes within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh.

This combination of refurbishment of a B-listed building and new developments within such a beautiful thriving town demanded building materials of not only the highest quality, but that were also sensitive to strict planning regulations. Designed to suit both contemporary and traditional lifestyles, it was essential that a versatile roofing material was specified that was sensitive to these issues. Heavy 3's premium credentials, its unparalleled quality and its likeness to Scotland's indigenous Ballachuish slate placed it as the perfect material for a roofing solution for this development.

With Heavy 3's 100 year guarantee there is not only peace of mind for the development, in this case, Scotia Homes but also its customers. The end result delivers a quality look that completes these premium homes.

The Racecourse, Musselburgh

Situated close to the River Esk and some six miles east of central Edinburgh is the Musselburgh Racecourse, where since 1816, year-round rogrammes for both flat and national hunt meetings have taken place.

The old Edwardian Grandstand sits side by side with new build facilities. A key feature of this project was to be able to provide a roofing slate that was not onl in keeping with the surrounding traditional builds, but was also a close match to the indigenous Scottish slate (which has not been manufactured for some 50 years).

This made Heavy 3 the ideal choice and further demonstrates its versatility through use on the refurbished Grandstand as well as the new facilities.

Gleneagles

Gleneagles is synonymous with the game of golf and, since 1919, the Kings Course has tested the aristocracy of gold, both professional and amateur. *The Palace in the Glen*, as it is known, is only a one hour motorway drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow and is one of the leading luxury golf and spa hotels in Scotland.

Situated off the King's Course at Gleneagles, this highly sought after development consists of three unique and exclusive mansions that are rumoured to be worth circa Ł1m. With this in mind, only materials with a high quality finish were used in this development placing Heavy 3 as the ideal roof covering solution. Crutial to achieving planning permission for a prohect of this type was the use of materials that are sympathetic to the surroundings, again making Heavy 3 the most appropriate choice, given its similarity to indigenous Scottish slate.

Cramond Road North, Edinburgh

This much sought after suburb of Edinburgh combines a village atmosphere with walks on the shoreline and along the River Almond. The Cramond Gate development features high quality contemporary living in a traditional setting.

Cramond is a traditional village comprising of cottages and shops all built with conventional materials. Heavy 3 was the ideal choice here as it blended in with the surrounding buildings that used the indigenous Ballachulish slate as a roofing material.

Together with its 100 year guarantee, Heavy 3 ensures that a high quality traditional look will stand the test of time no matter what the climate throws at it.

Castle Business Park, Stirling

Castle Business Park provides ten high quality, modern offices set amidst 28 acres of attractive landsaped grounds. The business park is situated on the outskirts of Stirling, providing excellent access to Scotland's main cities and other provincial centres via M9 and M80 transport links.

The Business Park lies in the shadow of one of Scotland's most histoic castles that dates back to the 15th century. As a consequence, it was particularly important to the planning authorities that the roofing material specified be sympathetic to the surrounding area. Heavy 3's close likeness to the look and feel of traditional Scottish Ballachulish slate made it the perfect choice as a roofing material for this project.

The Thistle Shopping Centre, Stirling

As Scotland's most recently appointed city, Stirling required a prestigious shopping centre to mark its new found commercial status in Scotland's economy. This new build property, located in the heart of this traditional ciy, needed to demonstrate the modern face of Scottish architecture. The solution was to create a build that was modern in design but that used high quality building materials for its construction. In the absence of quality Scottish slate Heavy 3 became the perfect choice for such a project. This ensured a very Scottish look, as well as the reassurance that can only be delivered by a product of this quality.

'Little Eden' Leisure complex, Carnaby, Bridlington

A development of log cabins has been built to the highest of specifications at Carnaby. The natural Spanish slate used is a CUPA H12 400x250mm which enabled the client good continuity of supply & consistent quality. Cupa supplies 1 in every 4 slates used on roofs throughout the world & are fully compliant with British standards. There is a 30 year guarantee on Cupa slates which offers any client piece of mind.
