With a uniform, smooth surface and thin laminations, CUPA 50 can also be produced in larger sizes making it a versatile option for the UK market – ideal for both new builds and renovations. WITH A STRONG REPUTATION and a rich history of quality slate production, the site of the product’s extraction is newly acquired by CUPA PIZARRAS. The company is currently building a new factory in order to further capacity, as part of its ongoing investment and expansion. CUPA 50 will be available in a range of sizes between 20x20cm and 64x45cm – popular dimensions in the UK market. It also comes in a range of thicknesses, from 3.7mm to 7.5mm. Thanks to the geology of the quarry, a variety of formats that are traditionally difficult to source will also be available including the larger formats of 50x25cm, 50x30cm and 60x30cm, many of which are popular in the UK market. Slate Solutions CUPA PIZARRAS prides itself on the durability of its slate solutions. This is guaranteed by the company’s meticulous approach to quality control throughout the entire slate production process; from extraction to processing. CUPA 50 is no exception – undergoing thorough examinations to test properties such as water absorption and temperature extremes. These tests offer customers the assurance that the slate can endure the harshest weather conditions, and provide a long life of over 100 years. “We are delighted to be adding yet another product line to our portfolio, especially within the current economic climate,” commented Steve Pearson, UK Director at CUPA PIZARRAS. “Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have been able to expand and continue to support our customers with regular lead times and excellent product availability. The new CUPA 50 quarry will only help to bolster that service further.” For more information on CUPA 50 and to request your sample today, visit CUPA PIZARRAS online. >> Read more about CUPA PIZARRAS in the news Previous article Union Busting Tactics Causing Serious HS2 Safety FailingsNext article Bark Gets Small Roofing Businesses Up and Running Share article You may also like View all News Featured Companies +3 26 February 2026 Glidevale Protect Strengthens Product Management Team with New Appointment Featured Companies +3 26 January 2026 Guardian Building Systems Launches New AI Training Programme Apprenticeships +4 15 January 2026 Build Your Roofing Workforce – Apprenticeships with Exeter College Featured Companies +4 20 November 2025 Protektor Wemico Marks UK Roofing Debut with West Temple Sheen Project Film Sign Up to Roofing Today Stay up to date with all of the latest news from Roofing Today by signing up to our weekly Bulletins… Sign Up Today Get in Touch Check out the latest issue 123 March-April 2026 View Now Past Issues Get in Touch
