Hand-split shingles with groove - Wallachian type

A traditional, time-tested technology for roofing that can be used not only for monumental buildings, but is also suitable for modern construction, timber and log houses. Its advantage is not only a high aesthetic, but also excellent insulation and thermal properties. The advantage may be lightweight, especially in the implementation of the covers of old roofs. Perfectly complements the small structures, such as the various shelters, garden houses. Shingles can also be used to cover walls.
We lay stress on material selection, process only slow-growing tree with a high density with no sign of angular momentum. We use pine or larch wood, which is much pitched containing essential oils, and thus more resistant to weather conditions.
Shingles are produced by traditional technology - chopping, then further refine the surface. In this procedure, not unlike the distortion shingels cut wood fibers, and it ensures durability and long life roof. Equal shingles are 50 cm long, about 22 mm thick and 6 -15 cm wide (other sizes can produce on request). Tapering shingels used on corners, valleys and bull eyes are processed as needed.
We impregnat shingles, which protects against wood-rot, mildew and wood-destroying insects.
At your request we can arrange installation. Easy to use protection such as barns, various shelters, roof houses. Dual overlapping coverage is suitable for residential constructions.
