Applications and benefits
Leafstones is a unique façade system developed specifically for Altaskifer, renowned for its incredible quality and aesthetic appeal. The system consists of carefully designed hooks and tiles that are cut to exact measurements, and have a naturally split surface along with cut edges. This gives the façade a vibrant, rustic feel that can be adapted to different building styles and landscapes. Leafstones is not only a practical choice, but also an aesthetically pleasing alternative for both modern and traditional buildings.
Sustainable properties
Sustainable: Leafstones are made from genuine Norwegian slate, a material known for its robustness and durability. The production process requires only simple tools and involves no additives, making it a clean and environmentally friendly choice. In addition, all components in the system are 100% recyclable, contributing to a sustainable lifecycle. With a very long lifespan, Leafstones can reduce the need for frequent replacements, further promoting environmental friendliness.
Lightweight and practical: Each tile weighs less than 8 kg, making them easy to handle and install. The load per hook is less than 4 kg, giving great flexibility in the use of the system. This lightweight construction makes it possible to use Leafstones in a variety of projects, from small cottages to larger buildings, without the need for special tools or heavy equipment.
Quick Installation: The system is designed to be easy to install, saving time and resources during the construction process. Installers can quickly set up the facade without extensive preparation, and it requires almost no maintenance after installation. This makes Leafstones an ideal choice for both professional contractors and homeowners looking for an efficient solution.
Aesthetic and timeless: Leafstones are equally suited to modern architecture as to traditional buildings. The play of colors in Altaskifer provides a natural depth and texture that harmonizes perfectly with other materials such as wood, metal and concrete. This versatility allows Leafstones to be used in a variety of design concepts, from minimalist to more detailed and ornamented facades, providing a timeless look that never goes out of style.
Ventilated facade: The innovative lath and hook system provides a breathable facade with excellent ventilation, which is especially important in the Nordic climate. Good ventilation helps prevent moisture build-up and mold, which in turn extends the life of the building and preserves the integrity of the materials. This property makes Leafstones a smart choice for both new construction and the rehabilitation of older buildings.
Conclusion
Leafstones offers you an exclusive, durable and environmentally friendly facade solution in genuine Norwegian natural stone, and is a perfect choice for those who want to combine aesthetics with functionality. With this system, buildings can be given a unique look that stands out in the landscape, while taking into account the environment and sustainable principles.
