			<![CDATA[I am about to slate the roof on a new build and have received some conflicting advice regarding the verge slates. We are using Spanish pre-holed 250x500 slates with a head lap of 90mm. The roof angle is 35 deg. and we are using a continuous plastic dry verge. My query is this: can I use a half slate on the verge or do I use a slate and a half? The roof is N â€“ S facing and we are in South West Wales. I would be grateful for any advice that anyone could offer.<br />Regards<br />Les]]>

			<![CDATA[I used Cambrian man made slates on my sunroom and used their 1.5s, alternating with whole tiles at the verges, but then I had to get it exact for the interlock. It certainly made a neat job. Personally I would think that splitting a 250mm tile wouldn't look as good, but that's just an opinion.<br />P.S. I'm not a roofer.]]>
