Tactile Stone Coated Barge Box Azure 1200mm Alu-Zinc

Tactile Stone Coated Barge Box

The Tactile Stone Coated Barge Box in Azure provides a high-performance weather seal for roof gable ends, ensuring structural protection against wind uplift and moisture ingress. This specialized roofing component finishes the rake of the roof where the tiles meet the barge board or masonry wall. It utilizes a multi-layered protective system designed to withstand the harsh UV radiation and heavy rainfall typical of tropical and coastal climates.

Built for the Job

Roofing contractors and site supervisors specify this barge finishing component to provide a clean, boxed-edge appearance that standard flashing cannot achieve. The profile is engineered to overlap the edge of the stone-coated tiles, creating a water-tight barrier that prevents rain from driving under the roofing sheets. Because it is fabricated from high-grade alu-zinc steel, the unit maintains its structural integrity without warping or rusting over time. This makes it a standard choice for residential and commercial projects requiring long-term durability and low maintenance.

• Sealing the gable ends of pitched roofs to prevent wind-driven rain penetration.

• Finishing the roof rake to protect underlying timber barge boards from rot.

• Providing a matching aesthetic finish for Azure-colored stone-coated tile systems.

Product Highlights

The base metal consists of a 55% Aluminum and 43.4% Zinc alloy coating for superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanization.

Stone Chip Protective Layer

• Natural volcanic stone granules provide UV protection and sound dampening during rain.
• Advanced acrylic glaze finish prevents algae growth and maintains color retention for decades.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Install this roofing accessory with a minimum overlap of 100mm to ensure water runoff remains on the exterior surface.

• Secure the unit using color-matched serrated nails or roofing screws driven through the side face into the barge board and the top face into the batten.

• Avoid using high-speed friction saws or angle grinders for cutting, as the heat can damage the protective coating; use tin snips or specialized nibblers instead.

• Store the components in a dry, covered area before installation to prevent moisture entrapment between stacked pieces.
