Unifix Slate Hook - Black - 100mm

The primary benefit is superior corrosion resistance, which ensures a long service life and maintains the hook's structural integrity, even in harsh weather or coastal environments.

They are designed for standard slate tiles. It is recommended to verify compatibility with the specific thickness and edge profile of your chosen slate before installation.

BS316 compliance indicates that the material meets specific industry standards for quality and performance, particularly for stainless steel used in demanding applications, offering enhanced corrosion resistance.

These hooks are designed for pitched roof applications where slates are hung on battens. They are not typically used for flat roofing systems.

Each pack contains 500 Unifix Slate Hooks.

The black coat is a finish applied for aesthetic purposes and should not negatively impact the hook's durability under normal roofing conditions. It primarily helps the hooks blend visually with the roof.

Typically, a hammer is required to drive the hook point into the batten. Ensure you also have the necessary safety equipment, such as gloves and eye protection.

Ensure the batten is made of standard timber and is not overly hardened. Use a hammer with controlled force. Check if the batten is too close to a knot or defect.

Verify the hook is securely fastened to the batten. Ensure the slate is correctly seated onto the hook. Check if the slate itself is cracked or damaged.

While stainless steel offers high resistance, aggressive environmental conditions or contamination can sometimes cause superficial staining. Clean gently with a non-abrasive cloth. If the integrity is compromised, the hook may need replacement.
