The very best modern
materials for the longest
lifespan
Metrotile is still the only
lightweight steel roofing
manufacturer that is able
offer a
40 year Weatherproof

on all of our profiles.
Crafted to the highest standard under
meticulous conditions, each Metrotile is
pressed from
Drawing Quality 3 Steel

the highest steel grade available in our
industry. The low carbon level within
the steel allows the metal to flow
evenly during manufacture, creating a
highly durable tile while practically
eliminating the risk of fracture.

primer. This is a pigmented water-based
acrylic, into which the coloured stone
granules are bonded. Once this has set,
a final overglaze is applied, resulting in a
tile that is
virtually maintenance free!
This protects the profile and your home
from weather, while boosting your roof
insulation.
It’s worth noting that the life expectancy
of steel is greater than forty years
ensuring that:
a Metrotile Roof is for Life
Metrotile continues the use of high
quality resources during the galvanization
process. Bucking the trend for
galvanizing steel roof tiles with
compounds that contain 95% Zinc,
Metrotile uses Aluzinc
®
. Combining
55% aluminium with 45% zinc, Aluzinc
®
forms an exceptionally stable barrier that
offers superior corrosion resistance that is
unmatched in the steel roofing industry.
The weather side of each profile is then
coated with an even layer of base coat
A Metrotile roof
satisfies these
requirements
and exceeds the
expectations of
traditional roofing
materials
