One of the oldest independent metal roofing manufacturing groups, Global Roofing Solutions (GRS divisions: HH Robertson and Brownbuilt Metal Sections), with exports worldwide, is bringing their unique texture coated metal tiles; Armatile and Armashake, to the UK in June/July 2007.
In addition to their wide range of steel roofing profiles (i.e. IBR, NURIB, Corrugated, Klip-Lok 406 & 700 etc) Global Roofing Solutions has “state of the art”, metal tile pressing and coating facilities to manufacture their Armatile range of coated metal tiles, taking the best-proven attributes that metal roof tile technology has to offer – worldwide – and combining them into one revolutionary product. But why choose Armatile Roofing Systems to protect your worldly possessions?
Armatile is manufactured from high yield galvanised steel with a variety of coating and colour options. These lightweight tiles provide an attractive and cost effective alternative for the residential, light commercial and institutional roofing markets. To suit specific design requirements, the tiles are available in two attractive profiles:
• Armatile, a familiar Double Roman profile
• Armashake, a wooden shake look-alike.
GRS’s Armatile Roofing Systems are coated in a fungus resistant, specially formulated, durable acrylic paint, with a low cost natural grit-textured finish and 7 colours to choose from. To complete the package there’s a full range of accessories, flashings and fixings.
Stringent integrity tests and their ISO 9001:2000 quality management system ensure that GRS-clients are supplied an environmentally friendly roofing cover with exceptional water tightness, and thermal and acoustic properties comparable to most traditional roofing materials. One of the only metal roof tiles certified by the Agrément Board of SA (BBA certification pending) as fit for purpose, Armatile Roofing Systems give their clients peace of mind in the knowledge that their good looking roof is also safe and durable.
These lightweight tiles are quick and easy to install, but moreover they provide an above average effective cover, unsurpassed by most of their competitors. This equates to 1.77 tiles per sq meter and yields a substantial saving on the cost of timber required for the roof structure.
These attributes together with the ease of installation impresses Contractors and Quantity Surveyors no end, and GRS goes the extra mile for customer satisfaction by providing special training to ensure that the tiles are installed professionally and according to proven methods.
