Reliable roof protects against the weather and maintains a good microclimate in the house. Today, a popular and durable material for the roof is metal. Everyone who is at the stage of construction or repair, as well as thinking about it, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the rating of the best manufacturers of metal tiles, based on customer feedback and product features that will help you choose products suitable for price and performance.

How to choose a metal tile

Before proceeding to the manufacturers rating, it is worthwhile to briefly examine the main parameters that need to be paid attention to when choosing metal tiles. Here are the main criteria:

1. Base thickness. As can be seen from the name of the roofing material in the basis of the sheet is metal. Its thickness varies from 0.4 to 0.6 mm. The higher the value, the stronger and harder the sheet.
2. Base material. Corrosion resistance and the cost of goods depend on this component. The most affordable is galvanized steel. More expensive - aluminum profile. The pinnacle of durability is a copper sheet.
3. Profile height. The indicator is from 18 to 25 mm. The higher it is, the greater the load the metal tile can carry (walking on it, a layer of snow, etc.).
4. Crate step. The location of the profile affects the distance between fasteners. This should be considered before buying the material. The metal tile with a step of 30 cm, and also 35 and 40 cm meets.
5. Profiling. This is the type of pattern or relief on the surface. It depends on the convenience of convergence of snow, strength and design. Common species are Monterrey, Joker, Cascade, Modern, Andalusia, Shanghai, Banga.
6. The material of the protective coating and its thickness. Outside, the metal tile is covered with a protective layer that prevents UV burn-out and promotes additional corrosion protection. The type of coverage depends on the service life and price. It can be polyester (22-27 microns), able to last up to 10 years, or its improved version is matte polyester with a height of up to 35 microns and a service life of up to 15 years. More expensive types: Pural (50 microns, operation up to 30 years), Purex (26 microns, but with a service life of 40 years), plastisol - 200 microns with a period of use up to 20 years.
7. Sheet size. The parameter depends on the dimensions of the roof and affects the convenience and time of installation. The metal tile is 100 cm wide and from 50 cm to 8 m long.

Since there are a lot of roofing materials, before studying the rating of the best manufacturers, it is worth looking at the brief advantages and disadvantages of each type of coating. This will strengthen the confidence in the correctness of the choice and the justification of the invested funds.

Grandline

Rating: 4.9

This is a domestic company engaged in the production of metal tiles since 2008. The manufacturer is already quite well known domestically and products are popular not only among ordinary buyers, but also among contractors. The company uses as a base galvanized steel sheet with a thickness of 0.45-0.50 mm and various types of profiles and outer coatings. In the reviews, customers especially like the color Safari, which originally looks on the roof. There is a wide palette of colors on the system RAL. In the arsenal, not only classic forms, but also an unusual 3D cut. The factories use innovative technologies and process automation, which minimizes the marriage of the human factor.

The main advantage of a metal tile is its availability. The manufacturer entered the rating of the best due to the release of relatively inexpensive roofing options with good performance. In this case, the company gives a guarantee of 10 to 30 years depending on the selected product.

Ruukki

Rating: 4.8

Finnish brand known throughout Europe. Now his plants are located in Russia, and in the manufacture of roofing imported products and technologies are involved.The manufacturer produces the entire set of products to create a roof, from frames and sheets to hardware and cans of paint to close scratches on the metal after installation. The manufacturer has an internal quality system and classification of products with the numbers 30, 40 and 50, which is equivalent to the service life of metal tiles in years. To create the outer layer are used plain and matt Pural, Purex and polyester.

The manufacturer is rated by our experts as the best in quality. There are a lot of positive reviews on metal roofing and almost no negative ones. More products are different innovations. For example, this is one of the first companies that began to produce flat modular metal roofing, more compact and convenient for snow melting.

Mera system

Rating: 4.8

A Swedish company operating since 1965. The manufacturer began to specialize in the production of metal tiles since 1983, and has gained extensive experience in the manufacture of products from thin steel with a protective coating. Now the company's product range includes 34 types of profile, which allows you to choose the material depending on the angle of the bevel of the roof and the design of the object. The length of the metal is produced from 200 to 600 cm. The plant uses exclusively European raw materials. In addition to the standard division in the form of goods within the company, its own classification by styles is applied. In the reviews, customers like Spain with the effect of aged tiles and Eva, conveying the look of natural ceramic tiles.

Our experts have added the manufacturer to the rating due to the high protection of goods from counterfeit with the application of company marking. On each sheet of metal tile there is a stamp of the company, which gives confidence in the originality of the product and will help not to waste money in vain, acquiring low-quality goods.

MetalProfile

Rating: 4.8

This is a domestic manufacturer, included in the rating of TOP-200 non-public companies, published by Forbes magazine. Now the concern has 18 factories in the CIS, which employ 4,200 employees. Production facilities are distinguished by the presence of their own laboratory, where metal tile coatings are constantly being tested for durability and strength. In addition to conventional galvanized sheets, the manufacturer has a tile with a service life of up to 50 years. Buyers in the reviews like the views of Montecristo and Monterros, suitable for different architectural styles.

Our experts have added the manufacturer to the rating due to increased tightness, which receives due attention. 3D metal cutting is used in the metal tile, which makes joints invisible. A double groove is made under the vertical overlap, which ensures moisture retention in the capillaries. This design reduces the metal consumption in the lock and helps to save on the cost of production.

Areco

Rating: 4.7

Another Swedish brand with a world name, whose products are sold not only in Europe, but also in Asia and the USA. The manufacturer of metal tiles uses steel products from the Finnish concern SSAB.The metal is coated with a hot-dip galvanized layer. This reliably protects the substrate from corrosion and also keeps the outer layer from cracking. The company uses four types of polymer coating for decoration and additional protection (plain and matt polyester, plastisol and foral).

Our experts added the manufacturer to the rating, because its metal tile resists corrosion better than others. This is facilitated by the zinc treatment not only on the outside, but also on the inside, which is done far on every company. Due to this, the material does not rust from the back part, where condensate accumulates. On the product you should pay attention when arranging the rear with a high allocation of steam from the room (baths, kitchens, pools).

Pelti Ja Rauta

Rating: 4.7

One of the oldest Finnish manufacturers of metal tiles, which began its activities as early as 1947. At first, the company specialized in fireplaces, grilles and sauna parts, but already in 1950 it bought profiled equipment and began to produce metal tile. In 1961, the company completely retrained for roofing materials. Now it is the largest supplier of products for the roof with a polymer coating, whose products are sold in Scandinavia and Central Europe. By production hot galvanizing, a passivation, a primer and a covering a polymer is used. Product reviews are generally positive, except for PVC coated sheets.

We added the company to the rating due to a wide range of metal with polyurethane coating, which not everyone can boast. This layer is more elastic and better tolerates collisions with hard objects, and therefore more effectively protects against mechanical damage. The concern uses two varieties: Polyuretan and Polyuretan Matt. The colors are green, red, brown and gray tones.

Poimukate

Rating: 4.6

Finnish manufacturer with a history beginning in 1958. This is a family-owned company that carefully preserves its reputation and closely monitors the quality of the metal tiles produced. Metal production from brands such as SSAB, Rautaruukki, Corus Plc. To protect the metal, a zinc coating of 275 g / m2 is used, which is the maximum value. At the joints, a double groove is always used to collect moisture and prevent its passage. The reverse side of the flooring is varnished. The quality of goods manufactured for Scandinavia and Russia is no different.

Our experts drew attention to the manufacturer of metal tiles and put it in the rating due to the release of particularly long sheets of 8 m each. This reduces the number of joints and speeds up installation on the roofs of a large area.
