Natural
slate remains a popular choice with architects due to the long-term durability
of the material as well as the range and quality of finishes possible.
CUPA R12
EXCELLENCE, one of the best selling products in the range, provides architects
with a number of aesthetic and practical benefits.
The CUPA 12
is a dark grey slate with thin laminations and superior homogeneity of colour
to create a uniform appearance across the entire roof.
CUPA
PIZARRAS employs a highly rigorous grading process to ensure the slates in the
R EXCELLENCE Selection meet the highest standards in terms of consistent
thickness and flat surface. This regular thickness makes it easier to install
and contributes to the product’s signature finish. The highly versatile CUPA
R12 EXCELLENCE is available in a wide range of formats and sizes to meet the
requirements of any project.
CUPA
PIZARRAS extracted its first slate in 1892 and today operates the oldest
working slate quarry in the world. The R12 EXCELLENCE range benefits from the
company’s 125 years of experience and innovation to ensure the highest quality
materials. The superior quality of R12 EXCELLENCE is backed up by CUPA
PIZARRAS’ 100-year warranty.
In
addition, traceability is vital to guarantee the quality and provenance of
building materials and give specifiers confidence in the products that will
feature most prominently in their project. CUPA PIZARRAS owns and operates all
its own quarries and warehouses and a unique barcode ensures every tile can be
traced back to the source. No other slate manufacturer offers 100% traceability
– a feature that is extremely valuable to contractors and architects.
“Our CUPA R12 Excellence slate is a highly
popular choice, especially in the UK, and has been used for a diverse range of
projects from unique residential homes and housing developments to churches and
hotels,” Nigel Tozer, UK Sales Manager at CUPA PIZARRAS commented. “The R EXCELLENCE
Selection allows specifiers to select a slate that has all the aesthetic and
performance benefits the expect from CUPA PIZARRAS but with an added level of
uniformity.”
