Safe, durable and non-flammable
Fiber-cement, from which CEDRAL tiles are made, is a material that is safe for health and the environment. It is distinguished by exceptional properties, being, among other things, extremely resistant to the adverse effects of atmospheric conditions (frost, precipitation, UV radiation) or substances that have strong alkaline properties.
It is durable, with a service life of more than fifty years. In addition, it is a non-flammable material, as evidenced by its excellent rating in terms of reaction to fire - class A2-s1, d0.

Lightweight material
CEDRAL tiles are among the lightweight roofing materials, their square meter weighs only a dozen kilograms. This makes them an excellent solution not only for new developments, but also for renovation of existing buildings or restoration of historic buildings.
Versatile application
The most common and well-known use of tiles is to cover the roof with them. They can be used on practically any type of it, bearing in mind, however, that the minimum roof pitch for tiles is 25 degrees. They are an excellent alternative to the ubiquitous sheet tiles, profiled tiles and also slate on Polish roofs.

The simple forms create a smooth and flat surface, giving it a consistent character and original look.
Small-format tiles can also be used to cover vertical surfaces. They work well for finishing walls and gable rafters, mansards, eaves, dormers and roof windows, and other architectural details. A very popular application is also covering chimneys with them. Thanks to the fact that they are a non-flammable material, they meet all standards and ensure the safety of this solution.
One of the increasingly common uses of tiles is to cover the entire building with them, both the roof and the facade, thus emphasizing the uniform character of the block. Such a bold solution catches the eye, giving the realization a unique and very contemporary character.
