Tactile Shingle Profile Stone Coated Steel Roofing Tile CafeSand

Tactile Shingle Steel Tile

The Tactile Stone Coated Tile provides a durable, lightweight alternative to traditional asphalt or wood shingles for residential and commercial structures. This shingle profile uses a high-grade Aluzinc steel core protected by multiple layers of epoxy and acrylic resin. It features a textured natural stone chip finish that ensures UV resistance and significant noise reduction during heavy rainfall.

Built for the Job

Roofing contractors utilize this specific profile to achieve a high-end aesthetic without the structural weight of concrete or clay tiles. The lightweight nature of the steel panels allows for faster installation and reduces the load requirements for timber trusses or steel roof frames. Each panel incorporates an interlocking system that creates a weather-tight seal against wind-driven rain. Site supervisors value the durability of these tiles during transport and handling, as they do not crack or break like traditional masonry products. The 2-tone CafeSand finish is engineered to withstand tropical climates, preventing the common fading associated with standard painted sheets.

• Residential roofing projects requiring a premium shingle look with a 50-year lifespan.

• Commercial developments where low maintenance and fire resistance are critical.

• Retrofitting existing structures where the current frame cannot support heavy tiles.

Product Highlights

Advanced Core Protection

The base metal consists of 55% Aluminum and 43.4% Zinc alloy coating to prevent corrosion in coastal or humid environments.

Multi-Layer Coating System

• Acrylic overglaze layer prevents moss and lichen growth while locking in stone chips.
• Base coat provides a thermal barrier and ensures the volcanic stone granules remain bonded.
• Epoxy primer on both sides of the steel prevents underside oxidation.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure the roof pitch is at least 15 degrees for optimal water runoff and to maintain the warranty on the shingle profile.

• Fasten the tiles using specialized roofing nails driven horizontally into the front flange of the batten to maximize wind resistance.

• Avoid using abrasive cutting discs; use a guillotine or metal shears to prevent damaging the protective Aluzinc coating at the edges.

• Store all roofing materials in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture entrapment between stacked sheets prior to installation.
