Italian tile for historic roofs

In projects that require the preservation of the historic or Mediterranean appearance of buildings, the use of Antique Tiles, such as the Tuscany model, makes it possible to achieve the distinctive image of a monk-tile roof, while avoiding the issue of difficult and experience-intensive installation. They are often used in the restoration of historic buildings, such as churches, monasteries, mansions and townhouses, as they meet the requirements set by conservationists. They form a stable and airtight roof. They are frostproof and resistant to changing weather conditions.

In terms of image, antique tiles are characterized by a high and fairly wide wave, expanding at the base. In addition, they have side depressions - gutters, imitating the bottom tile - dandelion. All this makes them an excellent substitute for paired tiles, maximally reflecting the character of these tiles.

Tognana Tuscany will be an excellent choice wherever the roof is to look like a monk and dandelion, and it is not possible to use paired tiles.

Technical and economic considerations may also lean toward the Tuscany antique tile. Thanks to the two locks and the lower thermodynamic lock, these tiles maintain excellent tightness. In addition, the use of locks with a large sliding tolerance affects flexibility in installation. The tolerance for covering a square meter ranges from 13.4 to 14 pieces. The speed and ease of installation of this tile significantly reduces the cost of roofing. Their installation is therefore fast, and they are more economical than monk tiles. In addition, they create a lighter roofing, while maintaining the aesthetics of a monk-monk roof.
