UK Market Expansion

Résumé
The UK Market has the largest roofing slate opportunity identified at over $300M in annual revenue. This roofing market has been using traditional slate which is in tight supply leading to long lead times and escalating prices. Enviroshake currently manufactures an engineered composite slate roofing shingle “Enviroslate” that emulates the look of slate with superior performance at half the cost. The current Enviroslate product only has a Class C Fire Rating and it will require a Class A fire rating for the UK market and it will need to pass the local British Building Code tests. A new formulation needs to be developed by adding a fire retardant and passing the Class A Test at the BBA laboratory as well as the other standard roofing product tests for this market.

Description
The UK Market has the largest roofing slate opportunity identified at over $300M in annual revenue.

Enviroshake currently manufactures an engineered composite slate roofing shingle “Enviroslate” that emulates the look of slate with superior performance at half the cost. The current Enviroslate product only has a Class C Fire Rating and it will require a Class A fire rating for the UK market and it will need to pass the local British Building Code tests.

Description (French)
Le marché britannique a la plus grande opportunité de couverture de toiture d'ardoise identifiée à plus de 300 millions de dollars de revenus annuels. Ce marché de la toiture a utilisé l'ardoise traditionnelle, dont l'offre est limitée, ce qui entraîne de longs délais et des prix en hausse. Enviroshake fabrique actuellement un bardeau de toiture composite en ardoise "Enviroslate", qui reproduit l'aspect de l'ardoise avec une performance supérieure à la moitié du coût. Le produit Enviroslate actuel ne possède qu'une classe de résistance au feu de classe C et il nécessitera une cote de résistance au feu de classe A pour le marché britannique et devra passer les tests du code d'immeuble britannique. Une nouvelle formulation doit être développée en ajoutant un agent ignifuge et en passant le test de classe A au laboratoire BBA ainsi que les autres tests de produits de toiture standard pour ce marché.
