Actually, slate is a natural material that easily flakes in thin and regular plates and for this reason it is suitable for the realization of light plates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Slate is also an impermeable material and frost doesn\u2019t damage it. These qualities make slate a <b>long-lasting<\/b> material able to cope with the action of weather conditions. Energy consumption for the production of slate plates is low if compared with other materials.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hence slate is a material fully in line with the requirements of the new <b>ecologic and sustainable architecture<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, slate has been forgotten over the past decades and only few craftsmen are able to handle this material.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1473268212114{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]At Formento, we have always been very close to our region, Liguria and its tradition.
