ITALIAN SLATE
Triple with hooks
The “triple with hooks” is the best roof covering for many reasons:
it’s easy in assembling, long lasting, very suitable both for mountain and coastal areas, it’s high wind, snow and frost resistant and it’s easy to interchange tiles in case of repairs without damaging the other ones.
The thickness of each tile (+/- 1 cm.), the triple overlapping which guarantee an average thickness of 3 cm., the slight slope pitch and the stainless steel or copper hooks make this type of covering the most popular in Liguria.
