Title:

UK Market Expansion

Agreement Number:

910584

Agreement Value:

$111,785.65

Agreement Date:

Jun 1, 2018 - May 31, 2019

Description:

The UK Market has the largest roofing slate opportunity identified at over $300M in annual revenue. This roofing market has been using traditional slate which is in tight supply leading to long lead times and escalating prices. Enviroshake currently manufactures an engineered composite slate roofing shingle “Enviroslate” that emulates the look of slate with superior performance at half the cost. The current Enviroslate product only has a Class C Fire Rating and it will require a Class A fire rating for the UK market and it will need to pass the local British Building Code tests. A new formulation needs to be developed by adding a fire retardant and passing the Class A Test at the BBA laboratory as well as the other standard roofing product tests for this market.
