Marley Eternit’s market-leading Duo Edgemere interlocking slate has been specified for a mixture of semi-detached, terraced and detached properties at a major new housing development in Alford, Aberdeenshire.

The ‘Silver Birches’ development by Stewart Milne Homes, one of the largest housebuilders in the North of Scotland, comprises 224 properties and includes a range of luxury homes styled by leading interior designer, Marren Interiors.

With local planners requesting that a thinner style of slate tile be specified on the project so that the aesthetic appeal of the new homes would blend seamlessly with the surrounding urban landscape, architects at Stewart Milne worked with Marley Eternit’s team to find the most appropriate roofing solution.

Duo Edgemere slates in Smooth Grey were chosen as they met the requirements of the planners whilst supporting the design vision that Stewart Milne had set for the overall scheme.
