You won’t need to worry about the weight
While a concrete tile roof on an average home weighs around 10 tonnes, the equivalent Gerard satin finish steel tile roof would weigh just one tonne.
You won’t need to worry about the wind
Because Gerard interlocking tiles are fixed horizontally, a Gerard roof is significantly more secure in high winds than vertically fixed roofs such as concrete tiles or longrun iron.
Gerard Roofs’ metal tile roofing system has been proven to withstand wind loadings of more than 6 kPa, which is equivalent to a wind speed of 350 kph (stronger than the wind force at the centre of a Category 5 hurricane).
You won’t need to worry about the rain
A properly installed Gerard steel tile roof is fully weatherproof, and unlike traditional concrete or clay tiles, Gerard tiles won’t crack and let in water. Gerard roofs also incorporate specially designed flashings and fixings that help protect your home even in the heaviest of downpours.
You won’t need to worry about sea spray
Even if your home is built at the edge of the sea, your Gerard roof won’t require any special materials, additional coatings or extra fastenings to ensure ongoing performance.
The protective coatings on Gerard roof tiles include a special combination of aluminium and zinc, which provides up to eight times the corrosion resistance of alternative steel roofing products.
You won’t need to worry about snow or ice
Gerard roofs have been well proven in the cold. They are unaffected by snow, frost or ice and because the tiles are made of steel, they can easily withstand heavy snow loadings.
Gerard roofs with textured coatings are especially suitable for areas where it snows because the textured finish ensures a slow, safe thaw.
A Gerard roof warranty applies when correctly installed and maintained.
