Box of 500 Rooftec 100mm 316 Grade Black Spike Slate Hooks provide a durable and corrosion-resistant fixing solution for slate roofing installations. Manufactured from 316 Marine Grade A4 stainless steel, these hooks are designed to withstand demanding external conditions and are particularly well suited to exposed and coastal roofing applications.
The spike end is designed to be driven securely into the roofing batten, while the hook retains the tail of the slate in position.

Slate hooks provide a practical method of securing roofing slates without relying solely on conventional nail fixings. The pointed spike is driven into the timber batten before the hook supports and retains the lower edge of the slate, helping to keep it securely positioned on the roof.
Installation Guidance:
The spike end should be driven securely into the roofing batten before the slate is positioned and retained by the hook. The correct hook length will depend on the headlap required by the roofing system. As a general guide, slate hook length should be approximately the required headlap plus 2-3mm.
Always follow the slate manufacturer's fixing instructions and the specification for the individual roofing system when determining hook length, spacing and fixing requirements.
