Long expected life.
Properly installed, a metal tile roof should last as long as the house, completely sealing out water, surviving high winds and hail. Metal Roof Tiles require virtually no maintenance which will decrease your future cost.
Lightweight.
Metal roof tiles are light in weight only about 4.5 kg. per square m. (Compare with conventional concrete tiles at 36 kg per square m.)
Metal tile sheets are easy to handle and they eliminate the need for additional structural support. Your savings can be huge in structural costs for new homes and developments as truss systems can be designed for less stress and less weight damage such as cracks in the walls and ceiling.
Speed & ease of roofing installation.
Metal Roof Tiles are supplied in long run sheets and standard fixing screws are used. Any roofing contractor can install these quickly.
Fire resistance.
Because metal tile roofs are non-combustible, they are given a Class A fire rating (the most resistant).
Heat conduction.
Metal Tile roof reflects radiant heat from the sun, minimizing midday heat gain.
Though the material itself is low in insulation R-value, insulation can be used to utilize a dead-air space between the metal and roof deck to increase energy efficiency.
Minimal roof pitch.
Metal tile roof can be installed on gently pitched roofs without danger of leaking. Minimum roof pitch is 6 degrees (compare with conctrete tiles 15 deg), so it is a great roofing product that can be used where concrete tiles can not.
