The CUPA PIZARRAS R&D team focuses in developing new solutions in natural slate. CUPACLAD Design is the result of their work, a group of ever growing concepts which show the boundless possibilities of natural slate rainscreen cladding systems.

The best way to cover and isolate facades, now offers us a new concept: Ascent This design is constructed by combining two types of slate:  40 x 20cm rhomboid, and 50 x 25 trapezoid shaped natural slates.

Slates are fixed with 4 stainless steel flat headed screws, specially designed for natural slate by our R&D team. Each piece has 4 fasteners to fix them perfectly. Ascent, the fourth CUPACLAD Design concept released to the public proposes a dynamic style based on simple geometric shapes.

This new design seeks to show the possibilities of slate through different shapes. Especially designed for high buildings like towers, where volume and movement sensation are reinforced. Besides, the architect can create different types of spaces freely to show his ideas and his imagination.
