HERITA GE The developers of Hotel KOMPAS, Kranjska Gora, set in a popular skiing region of the Julian Alps in Slovenia, required a roofing product that would blend with the natural surroundings, provide protection for their guests and be able to withstand the harshest of nature’s extremes. Gerard Heritage was chosen for the strength of its advanced interlocking system, the ability to hold snow on the roof preventing harm to people on the ground, while still maintaining an aesthetically pleasing finish to the hotel.
