- Easy screw fixing — saves around 40% labor cost
Specifications
Construction, Galvalume Base & Lifespan
Galvalume steel base (ASTM A792, 55% Al-Zn) -> epoxy/acrylic primer (both sides) -> acrylic bonding base coat -> natural basalt stone granules (ceramic-coated, kiln-fired color) -> clear acrylic overglaze. Produced on a continuous line: uncoil -> level -> roll-form -> base coat -> stone coating -> curing oven -> overglaze -> cut -> stack.
| AZ50 | ~150 g/m sq - inland / dry climate, budget |
|---|---|
| AZ100 | ~300 g/m sq - standard climate |
| AZ150 | ~450 g/m sq - humid / coastal / tropical (recommended for Nigeria, SE Asia) |
| AZ200 | ~600 g/m sq - strong-corrosion coastal / islands |
Available in 0.2–1.0 mm steel thickness. Thicker steel improves wind and impact resistance and longevity; 0.4–0.5 mm suits most housing, 0.6 mm and up for villas and engineered roofs. Always measure bare steel thickness excluding the stone layer.
Colors & Stone Granule Coating
brick red, terracotta, charcoal black, coffee, brown, gray, dark green, emerald green, blue, sand/light gray, white and orange, plus custom color matching. Premium aged looks blend three granule colors. Color is locked into kiln-fired mineral granules, not surface paint, so it does not fade under UV.
Best-fit Applications & Markets
Best-fit: High-end villas, tourism and heritage-style architecture wanting a stone look, light weight.
Export markets: For buyers wanting a natural-stone effect roof without the weight and cost of real stone.
AZ-coated Galvalume per ASTM A792 / AS 1397 / JIS G3321 / EN 10346. For export to the US and high-wind zones, stone-coated metal roofing typically targets UL 790 Class A fire, UL 2218 Class 4 impact and ICC-ES (AC438) acceptance; Nigeria requires SONCAP. Third-party test reports available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Stone Imitation over real stone roofing?
It gives the substantial, natural-stone look while weighing only 6-7.5 kg/sq m - a fraction of real stone - so shipping, structure and installation all cost far less.
Does the stone look fade over time?
No. The surface uses kiln-fired ceramic-coated mineral granules, so the stone color is locked in and UV-stable, backed by a 50-year material warranty.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Standard MOQ is one 20ft container (approx. 1,000-1,200 sq m). Mixed-profile containers are supported.
Do you export to Nigeria, Kenya, the Philippines and the Middle East?
Yes. We are an export-focused China manufacturer shipping to 50+ countries, with experience in local certification (e.g. SONCAP) and container logistics.
