Old German-style Covering
Vital beauty for highest demands
Typical for the old german-style covering is the exchange between cap-stones within the truss lines. The details for valleys, hips, verges and ridges create an individual artwork.
The type of cladding
From affectionate detail to total work of art.
Typical for the old german-style covering is the exchange between cap-stones within the truss lines. The details for valleys, hips, verges and ridges create an individual artwork.
The main feature of the old german-style covering is the application of free-hand prepared imbricated cap-stones. Other than for most of the natural slate covering manners, which work with uniform stone templates, the covering design here will be vitalized by varying stone heights and widths according to exactly defined rules. The result is an individual, extremely charming artwork.
The old german-style covering makes high demands on the qualification of the craftsman, because the old german-style covering is represented especially in filigree roof details, owing to which it is considered as gracious, but also demanding queen among covering arts.
Courage for exclusivity as expression of lifestyle.
How could be personality more expressed than with an old german-style covering with noble slate. Because it does not obtain its non-interchangeable optics from superficial effects. Its natural brilliance and the fine structure provide unique buildings with individual character in connection with the old german-style covering. The experienced slater understands how to realize the exclusive requests of the owner and the architects. He knows the characteristics of the old german-style covering and the possibilities of the arising arrangement. Aesthetics is a language, understood by everyone, but controlled only by few.
Real values outlive every building trend.
Today the return to long-lasting building with ecologically valuable construction materials sets the standard for the future and makes natural slate as raw material for roof and façade more actual than ever. Natural slate corresponds with every requirement of today’s building physics and it is environmentally compatible valuable. The unique aesthetics of the old german-style covering sets standards. It builds a bridge from cultural-historical structures of past ages to raised architecture of our present. It allows the owners and designers to realize individuality and creativity.
