Slate roofs

Slate is the classic natural roofing material for quality roofs. In Central Europe, the highest demands are placed on slate.

This applies not only to the material quality of approx. 4 to 6 mm gap thickness, but also to the choice of formats and types of roofing. Slate is characterised by its very long durability – one speaks of “at least one generation” – and by a particularly tasteful appearance and aesthetics.

We prefer the elegant and technically sophisticated type of roofing called “Altdeutsche Deckung”. It is referred to as the “queen of cover types”. A slate roof with an old German covering is artistically shaped in the details and is one of the top achievements of the roofing trade. Characteristically, the smallest tiles are used at the ridge and the largest at the eaves – where the water accumulation is greatest. This makes the roof look even more beautiful and higher.
