SNOWDONIA APPROVES CUPA PIZARRAS ‘CUPA 12’ SLATE

Snowdonia National Park Authority, the local planning authority for Wales’ largest national park, has approved a second CUPA PIZARRAS slate for use on roofs in the prestigious area.

Home to picturesque villages and nine mountain ranges, Snowdonia National Park has stringent design standards in relation to planning permission when refurbishing existing properties within the area and approving new build products, including roofing materials. Proving its durability and quality, CUPA PIZARRAS’ CUPA 12 slate has been approved for use on roofs throughout the national park.

This follows on from the success of its previously approved slate, CUPA 4, which is currently one of the most popular slates in the park. Prior to this the park had strict criteria of only using slate from Welsh Quarries. However, over the years Welsh slate has become much harder to extract and as such has become a costly product.

“It’s a fantastic testament to the quality of our slate that we now have two products approved for use in Snowdonia National Park,” commented Danny Campbell, CUPA PIZARRAS Sales Manager for North West and North Wales.
