MaxiShingle

Better than wood, just as beautiful

Application

When you're choosing a new roof, it's important to consider what it has to withstand. Wind, water the sun and quite possibly even fire.

A Maxishingle roof will outperform any wood shake or wood shingle roof. Its fibre cement composition makes it walkable. This is important when servicing air conditioners, sweeping chimneys and so on.

Application

Termites and white ants will not attack it. Dry rot is no concern. It is non-combustible so it will not burn. Maxi shingle comes in three widths that can be mixed to give the most authentic wood look. With staggered butt ends an appealing rustic look can be achieved.

Maxishingle is available in four attractive solid colours, so theirs something to complement any home, commercial or institutional structure.

Light Weight
Maxishingle is less than half the weight of flat concrete look-alikes. At less than 20kg per square metre installed, theirs no need for special heavy-duty framing. Since Maxishingle installs like wood shingle,contractors already know everything they need to know to perform a top quality installation.

Maxislate

Half the weight of slate, just as elegant

Application

At last, the prestige look of slate is within your reach. Maxislate has all the characteristics and features you'll find MaxiShingle, but with a classic slate-like surface. And at half the weight and fraction of the cost of slate, it is even more appealing. Maxislate comes in 2 solid colours.
