Specifications
Tile Profiles We Manufacture
Stone coated metal tiles share the same Galvalume base and stone-granule finish; the profile is the roll-formed shape. We produce all mainstream profiles and can develop custom molds.
| Profile | Look | Best-fit style / market |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Double-roll wavy, closest to clay tile | Villas, European-style homes — top export seller |
| Bond | Low, flat ripple, near flat shingle | Modern builds — best seller in Africa |
| Milano | Fine straight ribs, sharp modern lines | Contemporary villas |
| Roman | Large arc + flat alternating, Mediterranean | Spanish / Mediterranean style |
| Shake | Rugged cedar-shake wood texture | American country, cabin style |
| Shingle | Flat layered, asphalt-shingle look | North-American residential |
| Interlock | Hidden interlocking clip, extra wind grip | Typhoon / high-wind zones |

Colors & Stone Granule Coating
Standard colors include brick red, terracotta, charcoal black, coffee, brown, gray, green, dark green, blue, white and orange, plus custom color matching. Premium aged looks use a blend of three granule colors.
Why natural stone granule matters
- Non-fading: mineral granules are kiln-fired with pigment so color is locked into the stone, not a surface paint
- UV protection: shields the base coat and substrate
- Heat insulation: with a ventilated layer, cuts heat gain 25–45%
- Quiet: rough surface drops heavy-rain noise to 46–50 dB
Color choice by market
- Africa (Nigeria/Ghana/Kenya): brick red, terracotta, dark green, charcoal — red is a must-have
- Southeast Asia: red, brown, dark green
- Middle East (UAE): light tones (light gray / sand) to reflect heat — meets Dubai SRI requirements
Construction, Galvalume Base & Lifespan
Layer by layer
Galvalume steel base → acrylic base coat → natural stone granules → clear acrylic overglaze. Produced on a continuous line: uncoil → level → roll-form → base coat → stone coating → curing oven → overglaze → cut → stack.
Galvalume (AZ) options
| AZ50 | ~150 g/m² — inland / dry, budget |
|---|---|
| AZ100 | ~300 g/m² — standard climate |
| AZ150 | ~450 g/m² — humid/coastal/tropical (recommended for Nigeria, SE Asia) |
| AZ200 | ~600 g/m² — strong-corrosion coastal / islands |
Lifespan & durability
Real service life 40–70 years, with a 50-year material warranty. Durability is driven by three things: AZ coating weight, stone granule quality, and the overglaze formula. Galvalume resists corrosion 2–4× better than ordinary galvanized steel.
At only 6–7.5 kg/㎡ (about 1/6 the weight of clay tile), shipping and installation costs drop and the roof structure carries far less load.
Application by Country & Climate
West & East Africa
Nigeria/Ghana/Kenya: humid tropical. SONCAP certification required for Nigeria. Bond profile on steep timber-batten roofs is common. Recommend AZ150 + 0.4mm; 50-year warranty is the key selling point.
Southeast Asia
Philippines/Indonesia/Vietnam: typhoon zones. Wind resistance is critical — recommend Interlock profile + 0.45–0.5mm, with fastener spacing tightened to 200–300mm.
Middle East
UAE: desert heat, 50°C swings. Choose light high-reflectance granule colors; the tiles resist heat without peeling, withstand sandstorms, and cut cooling cost up to 40%.
Minimum slope 3:12 (~14°); use a breathable underlayment and a ventilated batten layer in hot, humid climates. Hidden-nail fixing leaves no exposed fasteners and improves wind uplift resistance.
Stone Coated Metal vs Synthetic Resin vs Traditional Tiles
A quick comparison to help wholesale buyers and contractors choose the right roofing material for their market and climate.
| Criteria | Stone Coated Metal | Synthetic Resin (ASA) | Traditional Clay/Concrete |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 6–7.5 kg/㎡ (light) | 3–4.5 kg/㎡ (light) | 40–60 kg/㎡ (heavy) |
| Lifespan | 40–50 years | 20–30 years | 30–50 years |
| Wind / Storm | Excellent (interlocking, up to 120+ mph) | Good | Fair (tiles can dislodge) |
| Corrosion / Coastal | Excellent (AZ150 Galvalume) | Excellent (UV & salt resistant) | Good |
| Shipping cost (export) | Low (light, stackable) | Low | High (heavy, breakage) |
| Best for | All climates, premium look, hurricane/coastal zones | Budget projects, hot/humid tropics | Local heritage builds |
For most African and Southeast Asian export projects, stone coated metal roof tiles offer the best balance of durability, low shipping weight, and storm resistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for stone coated metal roof tiles?
Our standard MOQ is one 20ft container (approx. 1,000–1,200 ㎡). We support mixed-model containers and can advise on optimal loading for your market.
What is the price of stone coated metal roof tiles?
Pricing depends on tile profile, steel thickness (0.40/0.45/0.50 mm) and order volume. Request a quote with your destination port and quantity for an accurate FOB/CIF price.
Do you export to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and the Philippines?
Yes. We are an export-focused China manufacturer shipping stone coated metal roof tiles to 50+ countries across Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, with experience in local certification and container logistics.
What warranty do you offer?
A 50-year material warranty backed by AZ150 Galvalume steel and a ceramic stone-granule surface that resists fading, corrosion and high winds.
How are the tiles packed for sea freight?
Tiles are stacked, strapped on pallets and shrink-wrapped, with accessories boxed separately. Lightweight design lowers freight cost and breakage versus clay or concrete tiles.
Can I order samples before a bulk purchase?
Yes, sample tiles and color cards are available so distributors and contractors can verify quality before placing a container order.
