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.
