Ways of Slating Facade

With the Altdeutsche Deckung the slates are laid to horizontal courses either from left to right or from right to left. The characteristic of this kind of cladding is the use of slates in different lengths and widths. The slates are sorted on site by length, beginning with the largest pieces at the bottom and clearly diminishing in size upwards.

The slates for the Altdeutsche Deckung can be cut blunt-edged, normally edged or sharp-edged.

With the Schuppendeckung the slates are laid to horizontal courses from left to right or from right to left. The shape of the slate is similar to that of the old German style slate with normally cut edge. The characteristic of the scale cladding is the use of slates which are identical in length and width.

With the Bogenschnittdeckung the slates are laid to horizontal courses from left to right or from right to left. The shape of the slates is square with one corner rounded off. The slates are identical in length and width.

Formats

The slates can be cut full-edged, with clipped corners (octogones), with arches (coquettes), segment curves, gothic curves, point and similar variations. Furthermore, different widths and lengths can be used for this kind of cladding.

Formats

With the Gezogene Deckung rectangular or square slates are laid to horizontal courses with spaces between adjacent slates, overlapping in length and width. According to the regulations of the Deutsches Dachdeckhandwerk the tail of the third course slate has to overlap the head of the first course slate.The characteristic of this kind of cladding is the overlapping in width by at least 40 mm. Thus there is no joint but a gap between the adjacent slates.

The slates can be cut full-edged or with clipped corners (octogones).

With the Waagerechte Deckung (horizontal cladding) – or the Geschlaufte Deckung (loop cladding) when slates are laid vertically – the slates are laid to horizontal courses from left to right or from right to left, overlapping in length and width. The slates can be either rectangular or square. They can be cut full-edged or with clipped corners.

Formats

With this cladding lozenge-shaped slates, head and tail pointed, are laid horizontally to alternate half-dislocated courses with a joint between adjacent slates.

Formats

With the Wabendeckung square slates with one clipped corner are used, the clipped corners looking downwards. The slates of the individual courses are moved by half of the diagonal of the slate sidewards.

Formats

With the fish scale cladding the slates (shaped with a segment curve) are laid horizontally to alternate halfdislocated courses with a joint between adjacent slates, the curve of the first course slate ending at the bottom of the segment curve of the slate above it.

Formats

Individual ornaments or chain form courses can be integrated in any cladding producing a most attractive façade. The use of coloured slates adds to the individual character.

This kind of roofing is performed with upright rectangular slates or square slates. The slates can be full-edged or have one clipped corner. They overlap in the hight and at the sides.

Formats

This is roofing with rectangular and/or square slates of different heights with butt joints.

Formats

This is roofing with rectangular and/or square slates with two clipped corners opposite of each other and in different sizes with joint at clipped corners. The courses can run from left to right (right roofing) and from right to left (left roofing).

Formats

This roofing is done with full-edged rectangular or square slates. Either shape should be used for this roofing which is laid in two vertically reversed ranges.

Formats

The linear roofing is done with full-edged rectangular or square slates. Either shape should be used for this roofing which is laid in one range.
