TRIPLE ROOFING +3
When the roof pitch is less than 40% (up to a minimum of 18%) a considerable overlapping of slate slabs is necessary to prevent the wind from blowing the water to the top of the slab, causing seepage; at the same time, to obtain the beautiful aesthetic results of “French” roofing, a triple covering must be made with slate slabs measuring 57x40x1 cm. with bevelled corners and with a 38 cm. overlap on the 2nd row. As can be seen in the photo, the beautiful aesthetic effect is the same as the “French” roofing, but since it is triple layer, it is much more resistant and prevents see page.
CHARACTERISTICS
- Slate slabs 57 x 40 cm, 9/10 mm thick, trimmed
on the low side - Fixing: 19 cm hooks in stainless steel or copper,
3 mm diam., better if 4 mm diam
