Filite is a natural rock of metamorphic origin composed mainly of mica, quartz, chlorite and feldspar.
Formed about 550 million years ago from extraordinary catastrophic events, it is an evolution of slate and as such can be sectioned in specified planes, but it is much more compact, hard and resistant.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND LEED CERTIFICATION
We know, by now, that temperatures in our cities have increased over the years: hence one of the primary objectives of designers is the research and use of materials that can improve energy efficiency buildings. Because of its characteristic, FILITE tends to reflect the heat generated by solar irradiation, and is therefore considered an efficient material in terms of energy savings and has also earned many points in the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
