Tactile Stone Coated Steel Shingle Tile NeroGris 0.4mm

Tactile NeroGris Shingle Tile

The Tactile Stone Coated Steel roofing system provides a high-performance alternative to traditional heavy roofing materials, combining the aesthetic of wood shingles with the structural strength of metal. This roofing component features an Aluzinc core, which consists of 55% aluminium and 43.4% zinc, providing significantly higher corrosion resistance than standard galvanized options. The NeroGris 2-tone finish is specifically engineered to resist UV degradation, ensuring the visual appeal remains consistent over decades of exposure to harsh sunlight.

Built for the Job

Roofing specialists prioritize this shingle profile for steep-pitch applications where weight and wind uplift are critical factors. Each tile interlocks with the surrounding units, creating a unified structural skin that distributes wind loads evenly across the roof deck. This interlocking mechanism also prevents water capillary action, making it highly effective in regions prone to heavy tropical downpours. Because the material is lightweight, it requires less timber for the roof trusses, which can lower the overall project cost for the developer. Site supervisors appreciate the ease of handling, as these components are less prone to breakage during transport and installation compared to clay or concrete alternatives.

• Residential housing developments requiring a premium aesthetic with long-term durability.

• Commercial steep-slope roofing where fire resistance and low maintenance are priorities.

• Re-roofing projects where the existing structure cannot support the weight of heavy masonry tiles.

Product Highlights

Advanced Corrosion Shield

The Aluzinc base provides superior protection against oxidation, lasting up to six times longer than standard galvanized steel in coastal environments.

Acoustic and Thermal Barrier

• Natural stone chips are bonded with an acrylic resin to deaden the sound of heavy rain and hail.
• The stone-coated surface reflects solar radiation, reducing heat transfer into the attic space compared to bare metal sheets.

What’s Included

• 1 x Tactile Shingle Profile Stone Coated Steel Tile

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure batten spacing is precisely 370mm center-to-center to maintain the integrity of the interlocking system and ensure water-tightness.

• Use specialized roofing snips or a stone-coated cutter; do not use high-speed grinders as they can burn the protective coating and invite rust.

• Fix these units using serrated nails or specialized roofing screws driven through the front downturn into the side of the batten for maximum wind resistance.

• Store these materials in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup between stacked sheets which can lead to wet storage stains before installation.
