1 natural stone solutions from the Cotswolds Atlas Roofing

2 Atlas Roofing natural stone solutio Atlas is one of the most celebrated names in Cotswold stone products a brand that has stood over many years for quality and strength. Its great traditions are being maintained following its acquisition by Huntsmans Quarries, a family-owned business that makes its living from the unique honey and buff-coloured stone of the Cotswolds. With supplies of natural stone now more limited and expensive, Atlas roof slates are a cost-effective alternative. They demonstrate very capably that it is possible to match the beauty, durability and versatility of real stone slates. The quality is such that the slates are welcomed by planning authorities that want to preserve the traditional character of historic areas. Atlas roof slates are made from natural Cotswolds aggregates, handfinished by craftsmen in a range of sizes and colours. Their popularity is such that they have been used over many years, not just in newbuild developments, but for restoration of some of Britain s most beautiful buildings, including St John s College and Magdalen College, Oxford and Westminster College, Cambridge. The Atlas Roofing range is available in three colours Cotswold, Collyweston and Cambridge Gold. Slates are available in six lengths, each in five widths, giving a naturally random effect.
