When it comes to roof repairs, the choice of materials plays a crucial role in ensuring longevity, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness. Stone coated metal roofing stands out as an excellent option for various roof shapes, including Victorian designs. Here’s why:

​

1. Exceptional Durability and Waterproofing

​

Stone coated metal roofing utilizes high-quality aluminum zinc-plated steel sheets combined with natural stone chip coatings and acrylic resin glue. This composition ensures superior corrosion resistance and waterproofing capabilities. With a warranty that lasts up to 50 years, homeowners can rest assured that their roofs will remain intact and functional for decades, minimizing the need for frequent roof repairs.

​

2. Lightweight and Easy Installation

​

One of the standout features of stone coated metal roofing tiles is their lightweight nature. Weighing only 1/6 of traditional tiles (approximately 5.20-6.40 kgs/sq.m), these tiles are easy to transport, store, and install. The ease of installation means that a typical residential roof can be completed in just 3-5 days by a small team of workers, reducing labor costs and installation time significantly.

​

3. Cost-Effective Solution

​

Due to their lightweight and larger size, stone coated metal roofing tiles reduce the overall time and labor required for installation. This efficiency translates into lower shipping and installation costs, making it an economically viable option for homeowners looking to undertake roof repairs without breaking the bank.

​

4. Noise Reduction and Heat Insulation

​

The stone chips on stone coated metal roofing tiles are designed to dampen noise from rain or hail, ensuring a quieter indoor environment during storms. Additionally, these tiles provide excellent heat insulation, keeping homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which can lead to energy savings and enhanced indoor comfort.

​

What is Stone-Coated Roofing?

​

In the past, metal roofing options were limited to corrugated metal or the expensive copper cladding. Today, stone-coated metal roofing combines the strength and durability of steel with the aesthetic appeal of traditional tiles, shakes, or shingles. This versatility means that whatever the style of your home, there is a stone-coated metal roofing product to match your needs.
