Vertical double-lap
The vertical, double-lap covering is suitable for fitting all rectangular slates. In terms of height, each row is partially covered by the two rows above, so that each slate is divided into three parts. This covering can be used for both facade cladding and roofing. This covering method is possible for the following sizes in our range.
Applicable sizes: 60/40, 60/32, 60/30, 45/30, 40/27, 40/24, 40/20 cm
Horizontal double-lap
The half stone or horizontal double covering method is a variation on the vertical double-lap covering (Mesh covering). The rectangular slates are fitted horizontally here. This covering can be used for both facade cladding and roofing.
Applicable sizes: 60/32, 60/30, 45/30, 40/27, 40/24, 40/20
Swiss covering
With Swiss covering, the slate is fitted horizontally. The slates have a single, vertical and a single side covering. To speed up the drainage of rainwater on the underside of the slate, the slates are placed at an angle of 1 cm. They can be used for both facades and roofs.Not suitable for roof applications with the following characteristics: exposure to heavy rain, tall buildings and high roofs.
Applicable sizes: 60/30, 40/27, 40/24, 40/20
Diamond covering
Diamond covering is only applicable for diamond-shaped slates. Diamond slates are square slates measuring 40 x 40 cm with two opposite corners cut parallel to each other. In order to install diamond slates in a diamond covering, the over-covering for the roof must be 10 cm and for the facade cladding 5 cm, measured perpendicularly to the edge of the slate. This covering can be used for both facade cladding and roofing.
Applicable sizes: 40/40/5 and 40/40/10
Checkerboard pattern
The checkerboard pattern is based on the same principle as the diamond slates, only with a smaller over-covering, so that a linear pattern is achieved. The lines then form continuous diagonals. Only for facades.
Formaat van toepassing: 40/40/10
Covering with open joint
The covering with open joint is a variation on the vertical double-lap covering. The slates are pushed out to the side, creating an open space between the sides of the slates, which varies according to the size of the slate and the over-covering used. Only for facades.
Applicable sizes: 60/40, 60/32, 60/30, 45/30, 40/27, 40/24, 40/20
Horizontal single coverage
With horizontal single coverage, there is a variant in which the slates are straight above each other. The longest side of these slates is fitted horizontally, next to each other, with a joint of 4 mm. In terms of height, they are then fitted directly on top of each other. Only for facades.
Applicable sizes: 60/30, 40/27, 40/24, 40/20
Half stone (horizontal covering)
With horizontal single covering, there is also the half stone variant. The longest side of these slates is fitted horizontally, next to each other, with a joint of 4 mm. In terms of height, they are then fitted in a half stone pattern. Only for facades.
Applicable sizes: 60/30, 40/27, 40/24, 40/20
