Random Effects

Riverstone Random roofing slates offer a cost-effective way of either reproducing traditional random slating during a restoration project or creating a stunning aesthetic or visual effect on a brand new building. There are three random slating patterns:

• Random - using roofing slates of different lengths and widths
   
• Random Width - using roofing slates of the same length but in random widths
   
• Random Width in Diminishing Courses - using roofing slates of random width in courses of progressively shorter length (towards the roof's ridge)
   

Size and coverage

To achieve random slating effects, pallets of Riverstone Random roofing slate are supplied in two ways:

• Mixed - a mixture of random lengths and widths
   
• Random Width - all roofing slates are the same length but are of random width

Each pallet contains, as appropriate, a variety of lengths and widths

• Length - ranges from 300mm to 600mm in 50mm increments
   
• Width - ranges from 150mm to 450mm in 25mm increments (but most are between 200mm and 300mm)

Riverstone Random roofing slate can cover between 22m² and 24m² per tonne using an overlap of 75mm to 100mm.

A Diminishing Course effect - roofing slates of the same width but in courses of progressively shorter length - is achieved by ordering slates of the same width but in the various lengths required.
