Stone Clad Metal Roofing Tiles

Classic Roofing Tiles are an advanced roofing material made by integrating a metal base with natural stone granules. They offer the advantages of being lightweight, highly durable, and environmentally friendly. Thanks to these features, they are widely adopted across a variety of architectural applications. Below are their key characteristics and typical areas of use:

Core Features of Classic Roofing Tiles

1. Lightweight & High Strength
Weighing just 1/6 of traditional ceramic or cement tiles (around 6–7kg/m²), it significantly reduces structural load—ideal for old building renovations and earthquake-prone areas.
Made from aluminized zinc steel, it offers excellent impact and corrosion resistance, with a service life of 30–50 years.

2. Weather-Resistant & Safe
Performs well under extreme conditions such as -30°C to 70°C temperature swings, hail, and high winds (up to Level 12 or 120 mph).
Rated Class A for fire resistance and non-combustible. Its self-locking design and horizontal nailing system enhance wind and seismic stability, preventing tile displacement.

3. Aesthetic & Eco-Friendly
Covered with natural basalt stone granules, offering long-lasting, vibrant colors and a blend of stone texture with metallic sheen.
Fully recyclable and produced through an eco-friendly process that meets green building standards.

4. Easy Installation
Simple to cut and bend, suitable for roof slopes of 15°–90°. Can be installed directly over old tiles, reducing construction waste.
Dry installation requires only 4–6 nails per tile—fast, efficient, and cost-saving.

5. Enhanced Functionality
Delivers excellent sound insulation (up to 30% noise reduction during rain) and better thermal performance than standard color steel roofing—improving indoor comfort.
A multi-layer waterproof design ensures excellent leak protection, making it ideal for rainy climates.

Application Scope of Classic Roofing Tiles

1. Residential & Villa Projects
   Ideal for self-built homes, villas, and townhouses—especially in rural or scenic renovation projects and flat-to-pitched roof conversions, balancing aesthetics and functionality.

2. Public & Commercial Buildings
   Suitable for shopping centers, schools, hospitals, libraries, museums, office buildings, and clubs—offering a high-end, durable roofing solution.

3. Rural & Western Regions
   Used in village revitalization and housing upgrades in areas with strong winds and extreme temperature changes, helping reduce leaks and broken tiles.

4. Industrial & Temporary Structures
   Applied in factories, warehouses, steel-frame buildings, as well as temporary housing and prefabricated units for construction sites requiring fast installation.

5. Historical Building Renovation
   Perfect for roof upgrades without dismantling the original structure—direct overlay installation lowers costs and shortens the construction timeline.

Precautions

• Higher Initial Cost:
  Upfront investment is higher than traditional tiles but offers better long-term value.

• Climate-Specific Adaptation:
  Choose coatings and base materials suited to local conditions (e.g., high-strength steel for cold western climates).

• Low Maintenance Needs:
  Regularly check nail stability and rinse with clean water to maintain appearance and performance.

With outstanding durability, eco-friendliness, and adaptability, colored stone tiles are a superior modern alternative to traditional roofing materials—especially in demanding climates.
