wooden shingles

Resistant and durable, the tavillons or wooden shingles, have become once again very popular. Made of mountain pine (red fir) or larch, the wooden shingle is flexible enough to adapt to the different shapes of chalets and buildings. It is a versatile material for facades, roofs, and works of art.

Ecological and light, shingles do not require maintenance and last for decades.

It was a widely used technique in the time of our ancestors and should thus be honoured by using it in future constructions.
