Gerard brings over 50 years of experience in constructing metal roofing tiles. Gerard metal roofing tiles are sturdy and aesthetically attractive.
Chiefly, the tile is made from steel that is covered with an aluminum-zinc coating which makes the tile anti-corrosive. A protective layer of acrylic resin applied on both sides holds the basecoat and bonds the decorative layer chip to the tile. It also guards the tiles from UV rays, dampness, and gathering mold and has more than 30 years of exposure life. In fact, Gerard metal roofing tiles have eight times more corrosion resistance than older steel roofing systems.
The basecoat also includes algaecide, which is helpful in maintaining the development of algae and lichens on the roof and is useful in rainwater harvesting when the roof water is collected and stored for human consumption and other uses. The decorative chip is available in custom ordered colors and has an attractive glossy finish.
