  2. Automation: Typically equipped with PLC control systems for automated production.
  3. Speed: High-speed forming and cutting with precision.
  4. Customization: Machines can often be customized to produce various tile profiles and step heights.

Step tile roofing profile

A Step Tile Roofing Profile mimics the appearance of traditional clay or concrete tiles but is made from metal sheets, providing a lightweight, durable, and aesthetically pleasing roofing solution. These metal tiles are commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings due to their durability, weather resistance, and modern look.

Characteristics of a Step Tile Roofing Profile:

  1. Stepped Design: The profile features a series of raised steps or ridges that create a three-dimensional tile effect, similar to Mediterranean or Roman-style clay tiles.
  2. Material: Typically made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or coated metals (e.g., pre-painted steel or aluminum), which provide corrosion resistance and durability.
  3. Panel Size: The width and length of each panel can vary, but they are often designed to cover large surface areas efficiently.
  4. Thickness: Common metal thicknesses range from 0.3mm to 0.6mm, depending on the specific design and load-bearing requirements.
  5. Aesthetic Appeal: Available in a wide variety of colors, often matching traditional roof tile colors (e.g., terracotta, brown, black) with various finishes (matte, glossy, textured).
  6. Interlocking: Step tile panels are designed to interlock with one another for a secure and watertight roofing system.

Applications:

  • Residential homes (modern, Mediterranean, or colonial-style roofs)
  • Commercial buildings
  • Sheds and outbuildings
  • Holiday homes and bungalows
