Cedral Ireland by Etex, a leading name in high-performance roofing and cladding materials, has launched Cedral TECTA Texture, a UV-Engineered slate with a 30 Year Colour and Structural Guarantee that’s ideal for the Irish market.

Designed for both new builds and renovations, Cedral TECTA Texture is a first to market in combining the timeless look of natural slate with advanced UV-engineered technology to deliver excellent performance and visual appeal. As Ireland’s changing climate brings increased exposure to rain, wind, UV light, and seasonal extremes, traditional roofing and cladding materials are being pushed to their limits. Cedral TECTA Texture meets this challenge head-on with a patented UV-hardened surface that delivers unmatched resilience, long-lasting colour, and low maintenance ensuring roofs or façades stay beautiful and protected for decades.

“This next generation of fibre cement slates, Cedral TECTA Texture, has been developed to meet the real needs of today’s homeowners and specifiers,” says John Bradley, Country Manager at Etex Ireland. “A unique UV treatment gives the slate a strength and resilience that stands up to our changing weather, while maintaining a stunning finish, year after year, all while lowering environmental impact.”

The Power of UV-Engineered Technology
At the core of Cedral TECTA’s performance is its patented UV-curing process, a cutting-edge alternative to traditional heat-based curing systems. The result is a finish that is not only visually striking but also exceptionally durable.

The Benefits of the Cedral UV curing process include:
· Lower energy consumption, making the process more sustainable
· Consistent ultra-matt finish that replicates the look of natural slate
· Enhanced surface hardness, improving scratch and scuff resistance
· Superior colour retention, even with prolonged UV exposure
· 30 YEAR Colour and Structural Guarantee

Cedral TECTA Texture features a richly detailed, authentic slate appearance with a matt finish. Crafted from lightweight fibre cement and precisely sized for consistent installation, TECTA slates are installer friendly, making them an ideal solution for both new constructions and renovation projects. Featuring clean lines, a low-profile appearance, and authentic slate texture, Cedral TECTA Texture complements both traditional Irish homes and contemporary architecture providing a premium alternative to natural slate. Free samples are available upon request, allowing architects and contractors to experience the material quality and finish firsthand.
