Raising the Roof - Cupa Natural Slate chosen for historic St.
Mary’s Church, Ireland
 St.
Mary’s Church in Carrick-on-Shannon, Ireland has been refurbished
back to its former glory with the help of Cupa Natural Slate. This
Gothic style church with towering steeple is at the heart of the
community. A sympathetic approach to the restoration of this
significant local landmark building was required. Cupa’s Campo 98
slate was considered the ideal choice.
Designed by distinguished Dublin architect, W.H Hague, St. Mary’s
Church is steeped in history and attracts a large number of visitors
each year. The charitable efforts of the community helped secure
funding for a new roof and additional on-going restoration work.
It was important to retain St. Mary’s historic characteristics,
whilst ensuring a long-lasting quality refurbishment. Cupa Natural
Slate’s Campo 98 product was chosen for the new roof. Campo 98’s
strength and natural beauty complement and harmonise with the rest
of the church and surrounding architecture perfectly.
Campo 98 is a blue grey slate with a smooth surface and non-rusting
metallic particles. Ideal for Ireland’s Atlantic weather, it is
resilient to the elements and is available in a thickness of 5.5mm.
Overall 1200 slates were used on the intricate roof design at St.
Mary’s. Campo 98 will help ensure St. Mary’s continues to be a part
of Carrick-on-Shannon’s historic environment for years to come.
Cupa Natural Slate leads the world in slate production, supplying
around one in every four of the natural slate specified across the
globe today. The company employs a number of quality control tests
to ensure only the highest quality of slate is produced and all its
slate meets or exceeds internationally recognised standards.
A unique barcode allocated to each crate of slate holds information
regarding that slate’s quality, type and origin along with its test
results and details of who worked on that particular batch. This
ensures superior traceability and future matching. Campo 98 is
tested in compliance with British and European Standards, including
BS EN 12326-2:2000.
As a testament to their quality, Cupa offer a 30-year guarantee on
all slate, showing their commitment to the product and customer
satisfaction.
