Raven Roofing Supplies annual golf day for customers and suppliers was held at Sandmartins Golf Club, Wokingham on Wednesday 5th September.

The course was superbly prepared and the weather was (unusually for this year!) dry and very warm. With 50 entrants, it was a close competition with the overall individual honours going to Richard Smith of Southern Brick and Tile.

Longest drive was awarded to Sean Wootten of Cupa Slates and nearest the pin went to Wayne Mills of Ecotherm Insulation.

Each competitor had been videoed on the first tee and the day finished with an individual swing analysis from club professional and Golf International Magazine teaching panellist, Andrew Hall, followed by dinner.

Staff and customers of Raven Roofing Supplies enjoyed a recent tour of the Terreal manufacturing plant in Bavent, Normandy.

The two day trip included a tour of the ultra-modern factory where a full range of clay tiles for the UK and worldwide markets is produced. The following day allowed enough time before the return ferry journey for those on the trip to enjoy a round of golf at the outstanding Omaha Beach Golf Club.

Pictured are some of the delegates outside the factory.

Raven Roofing Supplies are a major importer of the Terreal range of tiles.

Raven Roofing Supplies has been selected by Nu-Lok Roofing Systems to distribute its range of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels to the south of England. Raven Roofing Supplies will be the sole distributor for this region.

Designed in Australia and used in hugely diverse climates worldwide, the secret of a Nu-lok roof lies in replacing traditional wooden battens with a lightweight galvanised steel grid system.

The patented system incorporates specially designed link channels containing a high grade 316 steel clip for securing the leading tile edge, locked in place between galvanised steel battens.

This link channel eliminates the need for double-lapping of slates, as water passing through the gaps between slates is automatically routed onto the surface of the slate below.

As a result, the Nu-lok system requires fewer slates and less labour than traditional roofing methods, to deliver a surprisingly affordable roofing option. At 27 kg per square metre, this unique design is not only incredibly lightweight, but can support installers’ weight with ease.

2nd July 2007
Raven Roofing Supplies have appointed a representative to cover the south and south west regions.
