Cupa Pizarras: Brazilian Metalutite - Not a Natural Slate
Leading natural slate supplier CUPA PIZARRAS has joined industry voices in warning about the risks of Brazilian metalutite, commonly marketed as 'Brazilian slate'.
The National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) published new guidance on 1 October 2025, emphasising that Brazilian metalutite is a much weaker rock than true metamorphic slate, offering significantly poorer performance characteristics and longevity.
The industry consensus protects all parties, from contractors working with reliable materials to clients investing in roofs designed to last. For projects where durability and performance are paramount, genuine European metamorphic slate remains the proven choice.
