A heated swimming pool thanks to the natural properties of Cupa Pizarras slate

A heated slate terrace that combines aesthetics and energy performance

Natural and mineral, slate combines elegance and energy performance. With a lifespan of 100 years, split by hand, it does not require much energy and water. A traditional roofing material, it now meets the challenges of modern architecture thanks to its bluish tones and the play of light it causes. Its versatility and its raw appearance allow it to adapt as well to the ornamentation of castles as to contemporary flashes, from the facade to the edge of the swimming pool. Which it can now help to heat water!

The Thermoslate Flat panel is composed of 12 slates of 40x20 cm, connected by a patented thermal adhesive. The whole is thus presented in the form of a perfectly smooth composition which concedes no roughness, walkable up to 300 kg / m2. Under the 5 mm thick slates is slipped a 35 mm sensor connected by flexible hoses. An opening device allows direct access to the connections.

The panel is then incorporated among unequipped slates and remains invisible. On the other hand, it will stand out from an energy point of view since a base of 8 panels (surface area: 15m2) can heat a standard family swimming pool measuring 9,60 mx 4,80 m. Cost of the investment: around € 10.

According to technical studies carried out by Cupa Pizarras, ground-based sensor panels can thus be deployed anywhere in France, provided, of course, that they are exposed without shadows.
