Product Details

The Milano profile brings the timeless elegance of classic European barrel tiling into contemporary construction. Its smooth, undulating S-curve silhouette creates a sense of architectural heritage and visual warmth that flat metal panels cannot replicate, making it a natural fit for upscale residential developments, boutique hospitality venues, and projects in heritage conservation areas where traditional roofing character is required.

Built upon a cold-rolled steel core with aluminum-zinc alloy protection on both faces, the Milano tile resists corrosion from atmospheric moisture on the exterior and condensation on the interior. A layer of naturally colored stone granules is bonded to the surface using high-performance acrylic adhesive, then sealed with a transparent topcoat that deepens color richness and adds an extra shield against weathering. The result is a roof that retains its refined, handcrafted appearance year after year without the fragility or excessive weight of genuine clay.

FAQ

What roof slope does the Milano profile require?
The Milano tile is suitable for roofs with a minimum pitch of 10 degrees when installed with proper underlayment. For slopes between 10 and 20 degrees, extra sealing at the side laps is advised to ensure reliable water tightness.

How does the weight compare to genuine clay barrel tiles?
Milano tiles are roughly one-fifth to one-third the weight of equivalent clay barrel tiles, placing far less demand on the building's structural framing. This weight advantage is especially valuable for re-roofing projects where reinforcing the existing structure would be costly or impractical.

Is ongoing upkeep necessary for this roof type?
The natural stone granule surface discourages moss and algae growth, and rainfall typically washes away loose dirt and debris. A periodic visual check after major storms is generally all that is needed to confirm the roof remains in good condition.

Can it be fitted over an old roof without stripping it first?
In many situations, Milano tiles can be installed directly over existing roofing such as aged clay, concrete, or corrugated metal, as long as the underlying structure is sound and meets local load requirements. A professional structural evaluation should be carried out before proceeding with an over-roof installation.

Which steel gauge options are offered for Milano?
Substrate thickness spans from 0.15mm to 0.60mm, giving you flexibility to match the product to your project's durability needs and budget. Heavier gauges are advisable for locations exposed to strong winds or where maximum impact resistance is a priority.
