Metal roof tiles give you the look of traditional clay or concrete - without the weight, fragility or hassle. That makes them ideal for projects where a heavier tile just won’t work: garden buildings, low-pitch roofs, timber frames or even full home re-roofs where speed and simplicity matter.
Made from pressed steel and coated for protection and colour, these tiles are lightweight, fast to install and surprisingly tough - many also come with unrivalled guarantees of up to 50 years. They’re also interlocking, which means fewer tools, fewer fixings and less time on the roof.
Whether you want the classic look of a plain tile, something with more texture like a double roman or a slate-effect finish, we’ve got proven options from trusted UK manufacturers and brands like Britmet and Metrotile.
