Samaca slate on the roofs and facades of buildings.
Slate for centuries has been used as a roofing and facade material. He is known throughout Europe as a reliable and very high quality material. In European countries, slate is used on roofs and facades as ordinary building material, and in Ukraine and the post-Soviet republics, the ego is often presented as an elite or, if so, exclusive roofing material. In our understanding, slate is something new, unexplored, although in Europe it is everyday material.
Natural slate is a versatile building material, it is equally suitable for both the roof and the facade of the building, very often slate is used in interiors and in landscape design. Slate is a universal and environmentally friendly stone, which, thanks to its unique properties, allows architects and designers to realize even the most intricate ideas.

Majestic buildings, as well as residences are covered with slate, create clear accents, and sometimes set the tone, in modern architecture giving each building object a personality and unique character. It is very important that the slate fits into any style, both classical and historical, and modern - simple and expressive lines, as well as various formats and thicknesses of slate tiles, will allow to adapt to any shape of the building.

At the beginning of this century, the dynamics of the use of slate, both on the roof and on the facade of buildings, increased, but recently the architects began to combine these two surfaces into one composition. The slate on the roof smoothly passed over to the facade of the building, the drainage systems were hidden in the cladding of the facade or were completely absent, depending on the climatic zone where the object was located.

Due to its properties, Samaca 55 slate tile can acquire any shape, with the help of special scissors or a slate hammer with straight or radius anvils, while not losing the quality and appearance.

The use of Samaca slate on the roof is limited by technical standards, exactly like all other slates. These standards are developed by roofers' unions and legislatively introduced into all European certificates and technical maps. The rates of use of slate are limited to the minimum degrees of slope of the roofs, and, accordingly, the overlap of the slate plates to each other, in order to avoid leaks and destruction of the slate.
The facade of the slate has softer restrictions on the use and installation, in comparison with the slate roof, this is due to the fact that for vertical surfaces there are no such loads as for roofing.
In Europe, it has long been realized that the use of slate on the roofs and facades of buildings is a reliable investment for many years, which does not require additional capital investments and is unpretentious to maintain.
