What types of metal roof tiles exist. Types of metal tiles, understand the types of metal tiles, disadvantages and advantages

The topside of the building consists of roofing cake placed on the truss system and a spillway device. Its purpose is to protect the structure from the effects of atmospheric phenomena up to an extreme nature.

The main protective element of the roof is a protective coating in the form of various roofing materials. The most popular material for this at present is a variety of metal tiles with different consumer characteristics and prices. To facilitate the task of choosing a means of protection that is suitable for all indicators, let us consider in more detail what types of metal roof tiles are.

General information

The main material in this coating is galvanized steel, as an option, metal with an aluminosilicon coating is used. The thickness of the sheet is 0.4 - 0.55 mm, so the weight per square meter of such a coating is many times less weight natural tiles. Aluminum and copper sheets are also used as the main material. The former are limited in the use of protective coatings for them, and the latter, with undoubtedly the highest consumer properties, are very expensive and rarely used.

As protective coating profiled sheet, various polymers are used, the color range of which is extremely diverse in order to satisfy any customer request.

Material types

Each manufacturer has developed and produces its own profile shape roofing Let's take a look at the most popular:

Metal tile "monterrey"

One of the first brands that appeared in Russia and quickly gained popularity. The first production in Finland is now almost universally produced in our country. In appearance, it very much resembles natural clay tiles, and significantly surpasses it in consumer properties. Appearance and main dimensions, see the photo Fig.1.

The given dimensions of the monterrey sheet are for a comb height of 39 mm, other sizes are also available, then the mounting width of the sheet will change, which must be taken into account when calculating the need for a roof.

Metal tile "Cascade"

Differs in strict geometric shapes, looks great on hip roofs complex shape. For it, various types of coatings of a wide range of colors are used. The thickness of the base metal is 1mm, additional protection against moisture is provided by capillary grooves.

Metal tile "Andalusia"

Relatively new material on the market. Feature - hidden fasteners, allowing for almost hermetic assembly. Horizontal mounting. The joints of the individual elements are almost invisible from the outside.

Other types of metal tiles

Despite the saturation of the market with products roofing purpose, the development of new forms and solutions with improved characteristics continues. These include, in particular:

model "Shanghai" made in China;
metal tile "Banga" - characterized by an increased wave height of a bizarre shape, due to which a 3D effect of visual perception is created;
"Joker" with the classic geometric solution profile, symmetrical wave with rounded sole and edges;
Profile "Modern" - in shape resembles the famous Monterrey, but with straight, rather than rounded edges.

Undoubtedly, not all types of profiles are listed, but only the main and most popular ones.

Coating selection

The protective layer is the main element of the product, giving it characteristic properties. The following materials are used for it:

Glossy polyester - a material with increased plasticity, resistant to aggressive environments. Easily tolerates temperature changes over a wide range. Extensive color range. Among the shortcomings, it should be noted low resistance to mechanical influences such as falling branches, hail, sliding of frozen snow or ice. Mechanical damage to the coating leads to its delamination and accelerated corrosion of the base material.
Matte polyester - has a velvety surface, does not glare and has a textural appeal. The presence of Teflon in the composition of the material gives it resistance to mechanical damage.
Pural is a protection based on polyurethane, and the presence of acrylic in its composition gives the surface a velvety shade. The coating does not fade in the sun, has long term services. The price is slightly higher than that of other formulations, which is offset by high quality indicators.
Plastisol - the thickest coating (up to 200 microns) with a porous surface, has increased resistance to mechanical stress and extended service life. Needs periodic maintenance due to contamination of the porous surface. The material is prone to fading.

For any protective coatings, the guaranteed service life is at least 10 years, and for some even more.

The variety of roofing material offered by the market in the form of metal tiles makes it possible to satisfy any user's fantasies.

One of the first places in the ranking of the most popular roofing materials is occupied by metal tiles. She is on this high place in the ranking is not casual. Choosing it as a material for covering the roof in own house, the owner will be convinced of the sufficient strength of the material, that it is not susceptible to the effects of natural phenomena, will be surprised at the large selection of colors offered, will be able to try to install it with his own hands and be convinced of the ease of installation, low weight and long service life. A metal tile is a material that will look perfect on the roof of a bathhouse, a cottage, and any country buildings.

What is a metal tile

Metal tile is one of the most popular roofing materials of our time. It is made as follows: on the so-called base, made of metal profile, inflict several protective layers from polymer materials. Namely, a layer of zinc on sheet steel, then a passivating layer, a primer layer on it and in the very last turn colored polymer coating.

In the production of metal tiles, sheet aluminum, galvanized iron or copper are most often used as the basis.

With its external outline, this material is very similar to ordinary tiles made of clay. But unlike the ceiling made of natural tiles, roofing material or slate, the roof of metal tiles has a neater appearance which greatly outperforms the rest.

Due to the structural features, it will last up to 50 years without replacement. Of course, the duration of its service depends on the degree of exposure and aggressiveness. environment and the quality of the polymeric coatings used in the manufacture of tiles, depending on the materials used for the manufacture, prices for types of metal tiles are formed.

In order to be convinced of its strength, it is enough to know that sheets up to 0.5 cm thick can easily withstand the weight of an adult or a mass of snow up to 250 kg per sq / m.

Experts advise to cover roofs with metal tiles, the slope of which is at least 14 degrees relative to the horizon.

base material

As already mentioned above, a sheet of metal serves as the basis for a metal tile. To date, several types of it are produced - using galvanized iron up to 0.5 cm thick as a basis, non-ferrous metal alloys and aluminum.

Basically, a material with a galvanized iron base is used to cover the roof, because it costs much less than other types produced today. Products with a base made of copper, aluminum, non-ferrous metal alloys are, of course, much more expensive, but they have a longer service life.

Protective coatings for metal tiles

To increase the service life, metal sheets are coated with special layers of protection. One of the best budget options is considered to be a polyester coating. However, despite the low cost and far from a small selection of colors, this coating is not resistant to fading and various damages. But the low price makes this product a frequently purchased building material.

A denser coating is made of matte polyester. A product with such a protective layer is very similar to ordinary ceramic tiles. Its service life is automatically increased due to a denser layer of protection.

Pural - This type of protection is based on polyurethane. hallmark of this coating is considered to be the absence of deformation under the influence of sunlight, in other words, due to this coating long time the original color is retained. A metal tile with such a coating is not much more expensive than with ordinary polyester.

PVDF is a protective coating based on polyvinyl fluoride. It is applied in a thin layer, but despite this it is considered one of the most stable. It has a fairly long service life and, accordingly, a high price.

Plastisol - is applied in a relatively thick layer, but it has excellent protection against various damages.

Metal tile - profile types

All existing types metal tiles differ both in the material for the base and coating for protection, and in the height of the profile and shape. Of course, reliability and strength depend directly on the thickness of the profile. This is especially important for mounting roofs in areas where large amounts of snow are likely to fall. Accordingly, the thicker the profile, the more reliable and durable the roof will be.

Types of wave metal tiles differ in two parameters: height and pitch. A wave with a height of 23-35 mm and a step of 350 mm is considered standard.

Most often on sale there is a profile with a thickness of 40-45 mm. The most popular shape of this profile is S-shaped. The metal tile of Monterrey and Andalusia has a similar shape.

There are still such quite popular profiles as Joker, Shanghai, Banga, Modern. The Cascade metal tile is no less in demand - it is attractive original form profile. Of course, they are all different from each other in step and height, it depends on them appearance roofs.

Metal tile - dimensions

On the construction market there is more than one manufacturer of metal tiles, the sizes of their products are also very diverse - from 1100 mm to 1200 mm wide, from 800 mm to 8 m long (the length can also vary from the customer's desire). To date, manufacturing companies have a popular service for cutting products according to the declared dimensions of the customer.

The thickness of the material also does not have clear numbers. It ranges from 0.45 mm to 0.5 mm. Naturally, the weight of the product is also different. It directly depends on the material used for the base and the type of coating for protection. Weight can be from 3.6kg to 7kg per square meter. These figures are used to calculate truss system under the metal roof.

How to choose the right metal tile

When choosing a material to cover the roof, you need to carefully study its appearance, polymer coating and metal density.

The color range of metal tiles is quite wide, that is, the color can be chosen based on your tastes, or combined with the overall color scheme of the entire site or with the design of neighboring buildings. Basically, they buy those colors that are closest to the natural shades of ceramic tiles. Often popular colors are green tones, which provide the roof with color harmony with the surrounding greenery of nature. When choosing a roof covering of other colors, you need to be careful so that your house does not turn out to be too colorful.

Experts advise choosing the type of metal tile based on climatic conditions this locality. And if in your region winter period time falls out a large number of snow, buy material with a metal base and at least 0.5 mm thick.

The type of polymer protective coating must be selected based on the intensity of atmospheric phenomena in the area. For example, if your household plot is in middle lane, where in summer period not too hot, and in winter there are no severe long frosts, then tiles with a protective coating made of polyester are quite suitable for you, which in turn will make it possible to save money when buying.

In case you are roofing a house located in an area with strong temperature fluctuations or near the sea, where there is a large amount of vapor in the air sea salt, that is, with high content aggressive substances for building materials- need to pick more a high degree protection. In such cases, you need to pay attention to the material with the protection of pural, polyvinyl fluoride or plastoizol.

As with the purchase of any other product, read the quality certificate for this product. This "acquaintance" will provide an opportunity to buy a quality product from a reliable manufacturer and not waste money in vain.

We hope that the information you received about the types of metal roof tiles will help you buy high-quality material and suitable for use in your area.

Disadvantages of metal roofing and how to eliminate them

Unfortunately, a material that would not have any flaws on this moment time does not exist, there are also metal-tile roofs. First of all, this is the possibility of condensate settling on metal surface with a significant difference in temperature indoors and outdoors. The constant repetition of this phenomenon can lead to corrosive processes. For this reason, you should follow the recommendations for laying layers of roofing film, which is a vapor barrier or hydro barrier.
At the stage of laying the material, a serious disadvantage may be its increased waste, especially if the roof of the house has a complex geometry.
Metal is a "noisy" material, particularly when it rains. To protect the residents of the house from excessive sounds, it is enough to lay a layer of mineral wool insulation during the installation of the roof, in addition to the layer of vapor and waterproofing. Thus, all the shortcomings of the metal roofing are eliminated quite simply.

Types of metal tiles

Roofing metal tile has been used relatively recently. However, today this material has already established itself as a reliable, functional and practical roofing.

The main advantages of this roof are:

low cost,
ease of installation,
light weight.

In order to choose the right type of this roof that is right for you, you must first of all know what types of metal roof tiles generally exist and how they differ from each other.

It can be classified according to the following criteria:

Types depending on the basis

To date most popular is this type. Most often you can find steel sheets with a thickness of 0.45 to 0.55 mm, however, there is also a material whose thickness is from 0.55 to 0.6 mm. Steel sheets are galvanized and have protective sheaths, for building resilience material to environmental influences.

Aluminum

The tile made of aluminum possesses such positive qualities how ease and durability(does not corrode), however, it is more expensive compared to the material having a steel base. Also, the disadvantages of aluminum sheets include limited colors. The aluminum base is covered with protective shells to ensure roof durability.

Copper is an excellent material for roofing. Roofs of ancient buildings and architectural monuments are covered with copper sheets. copper sheets do not need protective shells, since over time a green patina forms on copper, which is a protective layer and gives noble appearance.

Views by geometry and insole depth

It is by far the most common and favorite profile of the people, since in appearance it is very similar to a real tile.

To the lines by which this roof can always be distinguished from any other roofing material, include:

externally distinguishable roundness of the profile

asymmetrical or symmetrical steps

Due to the large installation width, the cascade is one of the most economical materials. The advantages of the cascade can also be attributed to its rectilinear forms, thanks to which it can be easily used during installation complex roofs. Buildings with such a profile are characterized by strict geometry, clarity and straightness of forms, as well as a proportional classical look. Restrained forms are designed to emphasize strict classical proportions, functionality and sophistication.

It is a relatively recent type of metal tile. The whimsical geometry of the profile and the unique appearance of this tile make it novelty in the construction market. Distinctive features Banga are: a larger wave height (however, unfortunately, a smaller installation width) and a larger three-dimensional visual effect, achieved due to the significant splendor of forms. Banga is great option for tall buildings on which small shapes cannot give a good visual effect.

It is a profile that has not yet become widely known, due to the fact that it is completely recently appeared on Russian market . Andalusia is produced on the equipment of Western manufacturers, which makes it possible to produce roofs with concealed fastening.

The only drawback of such a mount is the need to use frequent and accurate roof lathing, which, in our conditions, is very difficult to arrange.

This view will easily emphasize the individuality of your home. The peculiarity of this profile is that it is externally similar to natural tiles, as it has smooth and soft wave lines, giving the roof a sophisticated look.

The perfection of the geometry and the accuracy of the joints of the sheets of this roof provide ease of installation of the roof and resistance to mechanical and atmospheric influences.

A huge range of roofing materials on the Russian market is a big plus, but even an experienced buyer can get confused in its diversity. Let's talk about metal roofing. Its position today is one of the leading ones, it is important to understand why. The material is light, durable, wide selection colors. Photos of houses with metal roofing are always very bright.

Roofing from a metal tile

The first thing that catches your eye even before you get to the site is the roof. Her appearance speaks of the taste of the owners of the house. The structure and colors of the roof are considered attractive.

The metal tile is made of galvanized sheet, covering it various materials. Basically, this is the difference between the material, as well as its cost.

Material types

Consider all the types on the market today:

As a result, if you want to save money, you need to choose a material with polyester. Today, new models with a matte finish of this type have appeared on the market. As for expensive metal tiles, the plastisol coating has one drawback in the form of a dull color, which will appear later.

In addition to the above differences, it is impossible not to talk about absolutely technical ones. All metal tiles differ in the height of the pattern, the type of wave. Monterrey is considered a classic among all the material on the market. Its characteristic features are:

exact dimensions of the sheet;
quality;
thickness is absolutely identical from sheet to sheet.

Consider comparison table properties of metal tiles with different coatings. This will help you make a choice.

Type of coating / parameters	Polyester	Polyurethane	Plastisol
Protective coating thickness, µm
Anti-corrosion property	acceptable	excellent	excellent	excellent
Texture	Smooth or matte		embossed
Minimum and Maximum temperature, degree Celsius	-10 to +120	-15 to +120	-10 to +80	-10 to +120

Benefits of using metal tiles

The advantages of the material are difficult to underestimate:

low price;
a light weight;
acceptable quality;
strength;
various colors and shapes;
durability.

The function of the roof is not only protection from rain and wind, but also giving the house aesthetic beauty.

Detailed information about the metal tile, its coating and forms is presented in the video file.

Choosing the color of the metal tile

The palette of metal tiles is very diverse. For example, the colors of the Monterrey brand make it possible to cover the roof with both white material and completely black. However, the most popular shades are those that mimic the colors of ceramic tiles. This is due to the fact that bright shades quickly fade in the sun, and dark ones attract Sun rays. The dark surface heats up more in the heat. The dark roof does not match the light finish of the house and vice versa. Light-colored roofs of houses are prone to pollution, especially in humid climates.

Looking at the photos of houses, all the bright colors seem attractive. So which one to choose in the end?

green is associated with nature;
brown shades are soft, they mimic natural tiles;
gray is also a very popular shade, but too dark options should be avoided;
for sunny places, it is advised to choose blue and blue shades;
Another popular shade today is wine red.

In the store, you can make a choice according to the proposed catalog. As a rule, the colors indicated in it absolutely match with natural view metal tiles.

Popular profiles

Let's talk about the shape of the metal tile. As mentioned above, the most popular of them is Monterrey.

Roofs of houses with it look very impressive. "Monterrey" resembles oblique waves in shape. It is also often taken because of the wide variety of colors. Matching the shade in the photo in the catalog with the true color of the future roof is also important. Moreover, "Monterrey" has several subspecies.

The second most popular shape is "Cascade". It is inferior to "Monterrey" at least 50% of the total market this material. Outwardly, "Cascade" resembles a chocolate bar.

The third most popular profile shape after "Monterrey" is "Andalusia". The correct uniform wave is its feature. Takes no more than 10% of all sales in the market.

In addition, there are also "Shanghai", "Pamir", "Spanish Dune". By the way, it is the form "Spanish Dune" in brown very similar to ceramic tiles. The photo below will definitely show such an example. It is the only one of all models that has a peculiar type of fastening.

Additional Information

When installing a metal tile, it is important to remember that its basis is a galvanized sheet. This means that the roof will need to be insulated and insulated from noise.

The material is very light, which facilitates installation, however, if skills tin work no, you don't have to do it yourself. A professional will complete the task faster, better, and the aesthetic appearance of the roof will be provided.

Houses with metal roofing

The more diverse the roofing material, especially its color scheme and shape, the more diverse roofs can be found. The advantage of metal tiles is that the roofs of houses in the private sector, covered with it, are not repeated. Even if you give preference to "Monterrey", the colors may differ.

Consider a few photos of houses with a metal roof. Already by one type, you can determine the shape of the material.

"Monterrey" in tobacco color goes well with the cream finish of the facade of the house. "Spanish Dune", which is presented below, is much less common.

The house shown in the photo above looks great near the sea coast. The combination of blue and pale yellow is a great option for warm climates.

Home decoration should be harmonious.

In the photo above, the most popular color of red wine in the form of "Cascade". They ask him a lot small parts houses of the same shade, such as gutters, flower hooks or flower pots.

Going to the store for metal tiles, it is important to remember that cheap material does not always happen good quality. Dark metal tiles of an unknown inexpensive brand can fade unevenly in the sun.

Don't skimp on roofing. When choosing a metal tile, treat the purchase thoroughly. It is necessary to combine the color only once, and for many years the roof of the house will attract gazes.

A roofing metal tile is a sheet of metal that has been given the shape and appearance of a tile. From two sides metal is covered with protective layers. The one located on the front side, polymer, determines the color of the roof. The quality of this material depends on the quality:

metal sheet;
protective coating;
top polymer coating;
additional protective coating on the reverse side.

Of no small importance is the process of manufacturing metal tiles. Finished rolled metal, on which all coatings are applied, is subjected to cold forming. In doing so, certain specifications: for example, if the sheet is formed at improper temperatures, all coating layers may be damaged.

The foundation

For the production of metal tiles, stainless sheet low-carbon steel is used. steel having a thickness of 0.45, 0.50 and 0.55 mm. Sometimes metal up to 0.70 mm thick can also be used, but this significantly increases the weight. finished material- it should be laid only if there are serious reasons, for example, if there is a need to often walk on the roof.

On sale there is also a thickness of a metal tile of only 0.35 mm. This significantly reduces the cost of the roof, but it is much more prone to deformation, and extra care must be taken when installing it.

In rare cases, they take as a basis for a metal tile copper alloy. This is, of course, the best option, because. copper is completely resistant to corrosion. However, the price of such material is several times higher than that of steel, which leads to its rare use.

Protective covering

The most important thing is to protect the steel from corrosion. For this, the old proven method is used: it is hot-dip galvanized on both sides. Compounds used for coating galvanized metal tiles (information must be provided in the certificates):

zinc;
aluminum-zinc;
zinc-aluminum;
aluminosilicon;
iron-zinc, etc.

The composition used must beIIclass (100-120 g of zinc per square meter) and higher (up to 275 g / m 2).

Composition types continue to be improved in order to increase the resistance of steel to corrosion and, at the same time, reduce the weight of the sheet.

After galvanizing, passivation of the metal occurs. This chemical process makes it passive in relation to chemical reactions, and an anti-corrosion layer is formed on the surface of the sheet. Before applying the polymer coating, the sheet is primed to increase adhesion.

outer layer

This layer is the most variable component of the metal tile. Each manufacturer develops its own polymer formulation used to coat galvanized steel sheet, and these compositions are constantly being improved. The components are kept secret, they cannot be determined by the name of the coating. However, the buyer can navigate according to the list below (common marking is given in brackets):

1. Polyester (PE). The basis of this material is polyester, which provides color fastness and protection of the metal from corrosion. The thickness of this coating for metal tiles is very small and is 25 microns. This is the most a budget option which withstands all climatic conditions and has excellent flexibility.

2. Matte polyester (PEMA). It's the only one existing version matte coating for metal tiles. It contains Teflon, and the thickness is 35 microns. This coating is very durable.

3. Pural (PU). Consists of polyurethane with polyamide, has a thickness of 50 microns. It is produced by Ruukki (Finland). The coating has increased strength and is one of the the best options. A similar material called P50 (Prelaq 50) is produced by SSAB (Sweden).

4. Plastisol (PVC). It contains polyvinyl chloride. This is the most "thick" (up to 200 microns) and durable coating, but it melts when high temperature and burn out in the sun. It is embossed. Also known as HPS-200.

5. Polydifluorite (PVDF). The coating is based on acrylic and polyvinylidene fluoride. Provides a glossy, shiny, scratch-resistant surface, while acrylic increases color stability by several times. The coating has a thickness of up to 30 microns. It is recommended to use it in moderately aggressive conditions, if, for example, there are factory pipes nearby, or the house is located on the sea coast.

Wrong layer

On the reverse side sheet is applied a thin layer of the same polymer that is used on the front, or a layer of protective varnish.

The use of metal tiles

The most popular metal roofing for roofing of private houses and summer cottages. It is also often used for administrative buildings, and even for high-rise buildings.

It is also possible to cover the facades of buildings.

There are some restrictions on the use of shingles. It is not recommended to install, if:

the roof has a slope of less than 12-14 degrees;
increased requirements for strength are put forward.

Pros and cons of using metal roofing tiles

Advantages of a metal tile:

Durability. High-quality metal tile may well last more than a century. It is not spoiled by rain and snow, it does not fade under ultraviolet light. The main indicator of quality is a guarantee from manufacturers, which can range from 10 to 40 years.

Ease. The weight of a metal tile is from 4.5 kg per square meter, due to which the requirements for load-bearing structures and their costs are significantly reduced.
aesthetic appeal. A large selection of profiles and colors will suit everyone.
Environmental friendliness. There are no harmful substances among the components of the metal tile. An exception is the roofing with plastisol, which contains polyvinyl chloride.
Fire safety.
Simplicity and efficiency of installation. Laying of metal tiles can be performed by a non-professional.
Possibility of installation all year round.
Maintainability. In case of damage, sheets of metal tiles can be touched up or even replaced.

Flaws:

insufficient sound insulation;
little thermal insulation.

Both of these shortcomings are easily eliminated by laying a special sound and heat insulating layer under the metal tile (most often its main component is mineral wool).

Conditional disadvantages include inefficiency in the construction of roofs complex shapes and susceptibility to corrosion in case of non-compliance with the installation technology.

Main technical characteristics of metal tiles

The dimensions of metal tile sheets may vary depending on the production technology that determines the standard sheet width - it, in turn, depends on the width of the steel in the roll and maybebe 116-119 cm. The sheet can be up to 8 meters long, but it will be at risk of breaking during storage and transportation.

The usual length of a metal tile is 2-4.5 m in increments of 5 cm. Considering that the slopes of many roofs are not rectangular, manufacturers prudently began to make measured sheets of metal tiles from a certain number of modules (from one to ten).

Each manufacturer has its own standards, which include:

profile height;
profile molding;
step length;
wave step;
color spectrum.

Different profile shapes imitate natural tiles, and here it is proposed big choice. The most popular of them are called Monterey and have such varieties as Standard, Retro, Modern, Maxi, Cascade, Joker, Venice, Cron, Shanghai, etc. Most of these profiles have asymmetric waves. They also produce tiles with a symmetrical wave, but its cost is much higher.

Profile height of the metal tile is from 25 to 75 mm. This parameter, as well as the thickness of the sheet, affects the final strength of the coating. The most popular and affordable metal tile with a wave of 28-50 mm.

Wave step, i.e. the distance between the two nearest combs is standard for almost all types of tiles and is 183.3 mm.

Step length, i.e. the size of the transverse wave varies depending on the shape of the profile, as a rule it is 30-35-40 cm.

Wave pitch and step length are those important parameters, which determine the features of the device of the crate under the metal tile.

The color depends on the polymer coating. For example, matte polyester has a rather limited color palette. The color for the roof is chosen according to one of two color standards: the international RAL standard, which is used by both our and foreign manufacturers, and the RR standard. Individual color palettes are also available for individual polymers.

Metal Roof Reviews

Anton, Voronezh: “It has been 7 years now that a metal tile cascade has been lying on the roof. I have to say that the quality is just amazing! I have everything mounted correctly, and the joints are not noticeable at all. This metal tile was produced in Russia, and I even have a feeling of pride about the fact that we can make such quality materials. Over the years, no faded or rusty spots, in general, everything is super. There are a few scraps in the barn, so even they are in excellent condition!

Alina, Moscow: “I won’t say a good word about this metal tile. We suffered with the installation, it doesn’t fit properly, so we realized that quality is more important than money. They saved money, took some kind of "China", which deformed at every touch, nothing can be done at all.

When it rains, it is simply impossible to be at home: such a roar is worth it! I advise everyone: pay better immediately more, do not skimp on quality!”

Stanislav, Saratov: “Several years ago, I helped my parents in the village to close the roof, otherwise their neighbors had a Monterrey metal tile for a long time, they also wanted one.

The color chosen was dark red. When buying, we were given a guarantee for 15 years, but the seller said that it would last 50 years. If laid correctly. The roof is already 4 years old, so far everything is fine.”

Igor, Samara: “There is a Finnish metal tile on the roof of the house, a Belarusian one on the barn. I put the Finnish about five years ago, and the Belarusian one and a half years ago. Both there and there the profile of Monterrey Super. At the moment, both roofs look equally good, there is no damage. Moreover, the Belarusian one was much cheaper.”

Vladimir, Moscow: “When I saw metal tiles in the private sector and found out that all Russian production, was greatly surprised. I looked it up online and found it to be reasonably priced. Bought for my roof along with all the accessories. They put it in quickly and without complications, it really looks like natural tiles, and I, and everyone I know, like it.”

How to choose the right metal tile

When choosing a metal tile, it is important to consider the following parameters:

1. Type of polymer coating. It is chosen, as a rule, based on climatic conditions:

For normal conditions, polyester tiles are suitable. This is the most affordable option. Matte polyester materials are popular (it imitates natural tiles best), pural (has the most noble appearance).
For use in aggressive conditions, plastisol is suitable, and for hot climates, you can choose polyfluoride or pural.

2. Sheet thickness.The most commonly used coatings with a steel thickness of 0.5 mm. If you need to save money (only in a non-aggressive environment), you can use tiles with a thickness of 0.45 mm.

3. Profile form. In this case, the choice depends only on taste preferences. So that the buyer can imagine what it will look like finished roof, there are special demonstration boards where the metal tile is shown in assembled form.

4. Colors. The choice of color can be influenced by:

The main material from which the house is built. For example, red or green tiles are more suitable for a wooden house. On a brick house, a coating in brown shades will look good. A to decorative plaster you can choose tiles in tone or contrast.
Climate. In the event that it is very hot in summer, it is better to choose light-colored tiles, since they heat up less.

Additional accessories for metal tiles

Additional accessories for metal roofing are necessary for correct installation. Failure to comply with the technology in this matter threatens to lead to a violation of the tightness and other characteristics of the roof. In the case of metal tiles, these elements can be made from the same material as the roof- this is an important advantage.

Skate - used to close joints, protect ventilation openings.

Endova - closes the joints with negative (concave) angles, serves to protect against leaks.

Cornice and wind strips - necessary to protect the under-eaves boards from moisture, they are installed before the installation of tiles.

Adjacency strips - used at the joints of sheets at breaks, they are installed with one edge under top sheet, and others - on the bottom.

Snow retainer - keeps a lot of snow on the roof, preventing an avalanche. Often, several similar elements are used on the slope.

Decorative corners - mounted at the corners of the roof in order to hide the joints of the sheets.

How to calculate the amount of metal tiles per roof?

When the length of the roof slope exceeds 4 meters, sheets are stacked in twos. However, you can order sheets of the required length directly from the manufacturer.

An important parameter is the effective (useful) sheet area, which depends on the size of the overlaps that are provided for laying:

vertical are from 10 to 20 cm;
horizontal - from 6 to 8 cm.

Accordingly, than more length sheet, the less overlap is obtained and the higher the effective area will be. For the most accurate calculation, you need: the dimensions of the sheets, the size of the overlaps and the dimensions of the roof.

Focusing on these data, the calculation of a roof made of metal tiles can be performed both independently and with the help of an installer or seller. for roofs complex design sheets standard sizes may not fit, because the amount of waste will be up to 40%. In such cases, it is worth ordering the manufacture of metal tiles according to individual parameters. Today, many manufacturers provide this service.

Taking into account such material properties as design, reliability, durability and cost, metal tile is the leader among roofing materials. Right choice and installation of the roof will be the key to its long service life.
