Slating with respect for durability, quality, craftsmanship, safety and ecology.
The Concept
Our concept is simple. We want to improve job safety and ergonomy, reduce waste, limit the use and spill of natural resources, minimize our ecological footprint,
without adding costs to the job...
The Roofer's Bag
The Roofer's Bag carries exactly 2 green boxes, filled with slate hooks, copper disk rivets, copper or alloy nails, etc...
With attention for ergonomics and safety, you carry the fixings up the roof.
Once up there, the Roofer's Bag hooks behind the roof battens, so you can work in all comfort and safety.
C Color Slate hooks
We changed the process of coated slate hooks. No more solvents, zero-waste in production, and meeting the highest quality standards, C-Color is the durable future of coated slate hooks !
The Green Box
We changed the packaging of our slate hooks. No more plastics, no more timber boxes, but 100% recycled and recyclable, high quality, cardboard boxes.
About us
Hi,
​
nice to meet you ...
Since the very beginning, when men started to build stone housing, roof slates were used as a durable, natural building product. And until today slating is craftsmanship.
​
Since the very beginning, when men discovered steel, metal products were forged in fire. Again one of the oldest crafts in the world.
Let me introduce myself. I’m Frederik, and I manage Connecton. For over 170 years our company has been manufacturing fixings for slate roofs. Our team exists of craftsmen and women and our products have been used on countless historical buildings all over the UK and Ireland, and the rest of Europe.
Without any doubt, for generations, you have been working and relying on our products. And we’re proud of that.
But today, proud on our craftmanship, we would like to get acquainted.
So Hello, we are CONNECTON, and we have been thinking about the craftmanship of the future...
