Special tiles

The tiles are commonly used to cover a sloped roofs (or pitched) and their main purpose is to protect it from the action of rain, favoring the flowing.
The roofing systems made with tiles are defined discontinuous to distinguish them from the so-called continuous.

The tiles can be made of different materials, such as brick, slate or wood and are divided into various types, such as tiles, Marseilles, roof tiles, etc. .. It is an artifact that substantially hasn't change over the centuries, but also, thanks to today's technology, it has been improved and made more functional to the needs of modern building.

Slate ceramic tiles

Among the most innovative solutions on the market, able to offer an excellent alternative also from the aesthetic point of view, there are the slate ceramic tiles produced by Ardogres.

It is tiles made of porcelain stoneware, characterized by high technical performance, such as high abrasion resistance, total water resistance to any chemical attack, maximum frost resistance.

The textured surface is capable of returning the typical appearance of natural materials like slate and stone, and the finish is available in four different colors and in different formats.



The colored paste used to realize them is able to resist oxidation and gives the product a high resistance to frost.
The tiles are unalterable even by the most diverse weather conditions, as well as the action of fungi and mold, they require minimal maintenance. The impermeability and frost resistance are, among other things, guaranteed for 50 years from the date of sale.
The thickness is 9.5 mm, for which a mantle made with them is quietly walkable, without any risk of breakage.
The installation is done quickly by fixing them with screws or hooks.

The range of the company includes also the system of photovoltaic tiles Ardosolar. These are elements that constitute photovoltaic module, so as to form, assembled, a system able to transform into electric energy the sunlight.

The system is designed to perfectly integrate with the slate roofing ceramic Ardogres.
In fact, the photovoltaic module, 40 x 40 cm, has the same mechanical characteristics of the normal module of the same size so, with the two types of elements you can create a uniform system.

These are the technical characteristics of the tiles Ardosolar:
- Rated power 1kW = 65 tiles = 7.65 square meters of coverage
- Rated power for a piece 15,40 W
- Slate ceramic substrate (Fine Porcelain Stoneware)
- Substrate size 400x400 mm
- Weight 3.9 kg
- 156x156 mm monocrystalline cells
- 3.3 mm thick tempered glass.

Double roof tile

Unique Features are those that distinguish Italica, the double tile by Vardanenga, which looks very similar to the tile.

A lot of research has led to the creation of a revolutionary system, which is characterized by two particular elements: the number of 6.5 pieces per square meter and the laying to overlap rather than to draw.

This element enables faster shutter speeds, thereby reducing the cost and also the maintenance, because the overlap means that you can easily replace individual pieces.
The pose happens thanks to a particular tooth of which the tiles are provided, which allows the joint between the pieces simply by resting.

It is not only speed of installation, but also great attention to aesthetics, that distinguish these tiles that represent the closest thing there is to traditional tiles, and therefore also adapt to the coverage of historic homes.

The manufacturing process takes place only through the drawing, which leaves unchanged the consistency of the particular mixture of clays, thus achieving high performance of the frost resistance, high permeability and high mechanical resistance.

Italica is designed with a particular curvature that improves the flow of rainwater, compared to traditional tiles. In addition to fixing teeth, they allow air circulation, avoiding the incoming heat, then you get the coverage that contributes to improving the energy efficiency of the building.

These tiles measure 480 x 480 mm, and are about twice the traditional tiles, weigh about 7 kg and are available in 5 different colors: National, Stil Novo, Dolomite, Renaissance and Latin America. In addition to these there are also two antiqued finishes, which make the tile suitable for any environment, historical, contemporary or rustic.
