can these be walked on fitted to a battened roof

My tiles are mounted on to a solid wood base but I see no reason why you could not walk with care on them if they where screwed to a batten. They will flex a little but won't break like a natural slate. I personally have only used them on outbuildings but given the opportunity I would confidently use them on my house roof as once installed are totally maintenance free.

Looking good

We haven't fitted these yet, but they look great and feel heavier then we thought originally. We've ordered these to add to our porch so fingers cross they fit easily
