ITALIAN SLATE
Scales
The “scales” covering is used for domes, but also in buildings where roof has a prominent function such as villas, mansards, etc.
In the dome, tiles are fixed by zinc-coated nails and cementing mortar.
The thickness varies from 13 mm. to 18 mm.
The “scales” covering is the most expansive because of the special shape of the tiles.
This covering is suitable for all climates and everywhere it’s admired for its curvilinear structure: the only visible part of the tile is the semicircular one.
