About

Metrotile UK supplies Lightweight Steel Roofing systems to the UK and Irish markets and is part of an international success story that has been in operation for over 30 years. Our systems and accessories can be seen upon rooftops in over 60 countries worldwide.


By using steel as the base material, it means the profiles can be pressed much thinner than a traditional slate or clay tile. The sheer strength of steel means that a Metrotile roof is far more durable and incredibly secure, whether held up against petty vandalism or the most extreme weather conditions.


Suitable for pitched roofs as low as 10 degrees and up to 90 degrees for vertical cladding, a Metrotile roof can provide all the characteristics a traditional pitched roof covering can provide as well as the following additional benefits:

  • Resistant to wind speeds of up to 120mph
  • Resistant to object impact and foot traffic
  • 7 times lighter than traditional concrete and clay tiles


Metrotile can also offer a more sustainable approach to roofing as all tiles contain a minimum of 25% recycled steel and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life cycle. Installing a Metrotile roof can also reduce the amount of deliveries required due to the large amount of square meterage on each pallet.


Metrotile tiles are suitable for all pitched roofing applications including:

  • Housing
  • Schools & Public Buildings
  • Leisure
  • Offsite and MMC


Available in a variety of colours, Metrotile profiles come with a 40 year weatherproof guarantee.
