Viking EcoStar tiles are: flexible; won't crack; and have a high impact resistance; providing protection against the most extreme conditions.

EcoStar comprises of 80% recycled rubber and plastics from the likes of old car bumpers, door mouldings, radiator hoses; and even off-cuts from the manufacture of disposable diapers! They are also 100% recyclable at the end of their usable life.

The EcoStar system (including substrate) weighs less than half of slate tiles, placing less stress on a building, and the substrate further braces the building structure.

EcoStar boasts 45 colour and profile combinations, with each profile having been made up of a minimum of 60 ever-so-slightly-different moulds to ensure the authentic, imperfect look of natural slate tile’s textured surface and individually hand-crafted bevelled edges.
