The ARDOGRES® NERO ARDESIA 40X40 (16"X16") porcelain stoneware roof tile is the iconic model from which the Ardogres project was born: a contemporary reinterpretation of natural slate roofing, traditionally used throughout Europe.
Its diamond-shaped 40x40 format faithfully recreates the authentic appearance of historic slate roofs, reproducing the texture, depth and timeless elegance of natural stone with remarkable realism.
Thanks to the outstanding technical performance of porcelain stoneware, NERO ARDESIA 40x40 offers a modern, lightweight and highly durable solution, ideal for both architectural restoration projects and contemporary buildings with a refined, minimalist design.
Its elegant and understated aesthetic also makes it an excellent alternative for replacing asbestos cement and fibre cement roofing, allowing buildings to be renovated with a safe, long-lasting and high-performance material.
Suitable for both roofs and ventilated façades, the tile combines aesthetic authenticity with the superior strength of porcelain stoneware: resistance to frost, hail, thermal shock, abrasion and chemical attack, with extremely low water absorption and minimal maintenance requirements.
With more than 30 years of expertise and numerous installations across Italy, France and other international markets, ARDOGRES® NERO ARDESIA 40x40 has become a benchmark solution for architects, designers and roofing professionals seeking durability, elegance and Made in Italy quality.
As with all Ardogres solutions, the tile is fully recyclable and reusable thanks to its mechanical fixing system, without the use of glues or adhesives.
