NON-COMBUSTIBLE
Natural slate is a non-combustible material, as proven in the test carried for ASTM e136 approval, which makes CUPACLAD a safety solution for any façade.
IMPACT RESISTANT
CUPACLAD is able to withstand damage from impacts, guaranteeing a perfect performance even in the most exposed areas.
EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT
CUPACLAD systems have been specially designed to resist structural movements without cracking, providing stability and security to the building.

YOUR FOREVER HOME CAN LOOK LIKE THIS FOREVER.
The beauty of slate cladding is that it looks perfect at installation and through the decades that follow.
IMMUTABLE COLOR
Deterioration of natural slate is unnoticeable to the human eye. Its color remains as radiant as it was when first installed, unlike other materials, which can lose their pigmentation considerably over time.

PERMANENT SHEEN
The distinctive sheen of natural slate also remains constant throughout its life cycle, while the sheen on other roofing materials can decrease up to eight times, which is noticeable even to the untrained eye.
