Tactile Classic Profile Stone Coated Steel Roofing Tile – Gris Shade

Classic Profile Steel Tile – Gris

The Tactile Classic Profile Stone Coated Steel Roofing Tile – Gris Shade provides a high-performance weatherproofing solution for residential and commercial structures. This Alu-Zinc based system offers the traditional aesthetic of clay tiles with the structural advantages of lightweight metal. It serves as a primary roof covering for slopes ranging from 12 to 90 degrees.

Built for the Job

Contractors specify this roofing system to reduce the dead load on timber trusses or light-gauge steel frames. At approximately 2.8kg per tile, it significantly lowers structural requirements compared to concrete alternatives. The Gris shade finish provides a neutral, modern appearance that maintains its integrity under intense UV exposure. Each unit is engineered to interlock precisely, creating a continuous weather barrier that resists heavy rain and high-velocity winds. Site supervisors appreciate the rapid installation speed achieved through the standardized 370mm batten spacing requirement.

• New residential construction requiring a durable, low-maintenance roofing solution.

• Reroofing projects where existing structures cannot support heavy clay tiles.

• Commercial steep-slope applications in coastal or high-wind regions.

Product Highlights

Alu-Zinc Steel Core

The base metal consists of high-grade steel coated with a 55% Aluminum and 43.4% Zinc alloy for superior corrosion resistance.

Multilayer Protection

• Acrylic resin base coat ensures maximum adhesion of the protective stone granules.
• Natural stone chips provide noise dampening and thermal insulation against solar heat gain.
• Clear acrylic overglaze prevents moss growth and protects the surface from atmospheric pollutants.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x Tactile Classic Profile Stone Coated Steel Tile (Gris Shade)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Install using galvanized serrated nails or specialized roofing screws driven through the front downturn of the tile into the batten.

• Maintain consistent batten spacing of 370mm to ensure the interlocking mechanism functions correctly across the entire roof plane.

• Avoid using high-speed grinders for cutting; use hand shears or a dedicated tile cutter to prevent heat damage to the protective coatings.

• Store tiles in a dry, covered area on site to prevent moisture entrapment between stacked units before installation.
