The ARDOGRES® RED CEDAR ARAVIS 25X40 porcelain stoneware shingle tile faithfully recreates the appearance of natural Canadian red cedar shingles traditionally used in Alpine architecture throughout Savoie and Haute-Savoie.
Developed using exclusive ARDOGRES® HDT (High Definition Technology) digital printing, RED CEDAR ARAVIS reproduces the warm tones, natural grain patterns and authentic texture of real cedar wood with an exceptional level of realism.
The result is a unique architectural roofing and façade solution combining the beauty of natural timber with the durability, reliability and technical performance of high-quality porcelain stoneware.
Inspired by the traditional chalet roofs of the French Alps, RED CEDAR ARAVIS has been widely used in Le Grand-Bornand and other prestigious mountain locations where architectural authenticity and weather resistance are essential.
Its refined wood appearance makes it particularly suitable for:
- Alpine chalets
- Scandinavian and Nordic architecture
- timber-inspired contemporary homes
- luxury hospitality projects
- mountain resorts and hotels
- ventilated façades and exterior cladding
- sustainable architectural projects
As a green alternative to natural cedar shingles, RED CEDAR ARAVIS eliminates many of the maintenance and ageing issues associated with real wood while preserving its warm and elegant aesthetic.
The porcelain stoneware body ensures exceptional resistance to frost, snow, thermal shock, humidity, hail and UV exposure, making the system ideal for extreme climates and high-altitude environments.
Its lightweight format and dry mechanical fixing system allow easy installation on ventilated battens, insulated roofing systems such as ISOTEC®, and modern façade structures without the use of adhesives or glues.
Like all ARDOGRES® roofing solutions, RED CEDAR ARAVIS offers:
- extremely low water absorption (<0.5%)
- frost and freeze-thaw resistance
- high resistance to abrasion and impact
- colour stability over time
- minimal maintenance requirements
- 50-year warranty
- expected lifespan exceeding 100 years
Combining ultra-realistic HDT wood graphics, sustainable construction principles and world-class technical performance, ARDOGRES® RED CEDAR ARAVIS 25x40 stands among the most advanced cedar-look roofing solutions available for contemporary architecture worldwide.
