What are Stone-Coated Metal Roofing Tiles?

Stone Coated Metal Roof Tile Structure DiagramStone-coated metal roofing tiles are high-performance roofing tiles made from an aluminum-zinc steel base, fingerprint-resistant coating, sintered colored granules, acrylic resin adhesive, and acrylic topcoat.


Aluminum-Zinc Steel: Aluminum-zinc steel consists of 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc, and 1.6% silicon. Its workability and Coating property are similar to galvanized steel, with a normal service life of 30 to 50 years, compared to 10 to 20 years for galvanized steel.


Fingerprint-Resistant Coating: The fingerprint-resistant coating protects the aluminum-zinc layer and enhances the adhesion between the aluminum-zinc steel and colored granules. This coating is available in clear and light green colors.


Sintered Colored Granules: Sintered colored granules serve as the decorative layer and base protection layer of the metal tiles. Made from specific-sized basalt particles, they undergo high-tech coloring and sintering processes. They are available in over a dozen colors, can withstand UV exposure, and reduce noise from rain on the metal tiles.


Acrylic AdhesiveAcrylic adhesive is crucial for bonding the steel plates and granules, while the acrylic topcoat protects the granules from rainwater infiltration, extending the color longevity of the granules.
