Stones for roofs
Stones have always been used also for covering roofs all over the world, with more or less thin natural thicknesses (ground level).
Tirone Edilizia has always proposed various materials to create resistant and original roofs, such as the Porfiroide, the Ardesia, the Serpentino, the Beole, the Granitello Lamellare of Piedmont.
The formats used are both irregular polygonal, and variously squared slabs, with sawn or sheared edges, notched according to the effects to be obtained, with or without holes prepared for fixing, etc.
Furthermore today, with new technologies, we can also offer slabs mechanically cut, with fixed thicknesses and non-natural surfaces.
In this way we can make roofs of various colors, usually around the shades of gray, green and black, of more or less rustic or irregular aspects, of greater or lesser weight.
At one time the roofs had not necessarily to let the rains pass; now with the waterproofing of the underlying structures, they may not even have this characteristic, thus allowing a “stone roof” effect with greater lightness, less overlapping and less slopes, etc., etc.
