Subtleties of choosing a metal tile roof. Sheet dimensions and characteristics

Metal tile "Monterey" is classic material from the class of the most economical and reliable roofing coverings. The long service life of Monterey metal tiles is due to its main characteristics. In addition, this coating has original design, which perfectly imitates the shape of classic natural roofing tiles. The high quality of this material is combined with an affordable price, which makes metal tiles very popular and in demand.

Advantages and advantages of Monterrey metal tiles

Metal tile roofing "Monterey" is unique in its own way, and unlike similar roofing materials, it has a number of positive qualities:

high degree of efficiency of roofing sheets;

significant lightness of the roofing material, which contributes to the maximum simplification of the process of lifting metal tile sheets to the height of the roof;

quite long operational period;

increased resistance to numerous negative environmental manifestations;

very high external qualities;

the ability to use metal tile coating in numerous color variations;

high degree of fire safety.

Among other things, this popular and sought-after roofing material is able to withstand significant loads, has a good degree of rigidity and moisture resistance, is resistant to UV rays, copes well with temperature changes and has high level anti-corrosion resistance.

The low weight places minimal stress on the rafters and bearing structures, which can significantly reduce the cost of installing a reinforced rafter system.

Specifications and Dimensions

The main indicators of the technical characteristics of metal tile sheets determine not only the quality of the roofing covering, but also the basic geometric ones, as well as the entire appearance completed roofing. The thickness of the metal used determines the indicators of roofing strength and reliability. The ability to choose roofing sheets of the optimal length minimizes and reduces the consumption of roofing material.

Basic indicators:

The sheet structure includes:

color type of modern polymer coating;
primer layer;
passivation layer;
zinc layer to protect sheet steel;
high quality steel;
a layer of zinc protecting the steel sheet;
passivation layer;
primer layer;
varnished reverse side of a metal roofing sheet.

Based on the RAL tinting system, all produced Monterey metal tiles have colors 1014, 1015, 1018, 3003, 3005, 3009, 3011, 5002, 5005, 5021, 6002, 6005, 7004, 7005, 7024, 8017, 90 02, 9003, 9010. In addition, the color range can be represented by RR 35, 36, 37, 750.

Polymer coatings for metal tiles

Roof covering, made using Monterrey metal tile sheets, is characterized mainly by the type of polymer coating used, which can be represented by PVDF, plastisol or polyester.

Pural is a high quality modern coating based on polyurethane. Is different high degree strength and elasticity. It is practically not susceptible to scratches, but bends very easily.

PVDF is one of the most durable coatings, which is made by combining polyvinyl fluoride and acrylic. Characterized by amazing mechanical stability and degree of self-cleaning.

Plastisol refers to coatings applied in a fairly thick layer. It is characterized by increased resistance to various damages, but is poorly protected from UV rays.

Polyester or matte type of polyester is the cheapest type of coating that can perfectly withstand various weather conditions. Does not tolerate mechanical damage well.

Installation instructions

The implementation of roofing using metal tile sheets consists of several main stages, which are divided into preparatory work, performing high-quality and direct coverage.

Stages of preparatory work:

measurements of all roof slopes;
calculation of vapor barrier, thermal insulation and waterproofing;
calculation of metal tile material and additional elements for the roof;
acquisition required quantity materials;
tool preparation.

Installing the correct roofing “pie”:

performing roof insulation with the selected material;
performing high-quality roof vapor barrier;
installation of a waterproofing layer;
installation of sparse sheathing in increments depending on the size of the roofing material;
installation of all cornice strips;
installation of valleys and necessary roof connections;
installation of aprons near chimney and ventilation shafts;
fastening sheets of metal tile covering;
fastening of additional elements, represented by end / wind, ridge strips, external valleys, snow retainers and other roofing barriers.

Material cost

The modern construction market sells Monterey metal roofing sheets, which are produced by several Russian manufacturers. In addition, coatings produced in Finland and Poland are on sale.

More often, Russian production occurs with the use of imported versions of profiling equipment, which allows you to purchase high-quality roofing material at a very affordable cost. In addition, not only sheets of standard size are subject to sale, but also metal tile coverings are cut to order with a maximum possible length of eight meters.

When ordering, you must take into account the presence of “prohibited” sizes, which depend on the nature of the material and are reflected in the manufacturer’s tables. The material is cut in accordance with the technology and strictly according to the wave deflection.

The price of metal tile sheets depends on the type of coating and the thickness of the steel used:

Polyester coating:

steel 0.4 mm - price 250 rubles/sq.m;
steel 0.45 mm - price 280 rubles/sq.m;
steel 0.5 mm - price 290 rubles/sq.m;
steel 0.45 mm matte polyester coating - price 320 rubles/sq.m.

Other coating:

steel 0.45 mm Printech coating - price 510 rubles/sq.m;

steel 0.5 mm pural coating - price 440 rubles/sq.m;
steel 0.5 mm PVC coating or plastisol - price 425 rubles/sq.m

Let's sum it up

Different polymer coatings have different textures and layer thicknesses: polyester - smooth and 25 microns, matte polyester - matte and 35 microns, plastisol - embossed and 200 microns, pural - smooth and 50 microns, PVDF - smooth and 27 microns.

Sheets roofing metal tiles can be carried extremely carefully and held exclusively by the longitudinal edges.

Do not damage the roof covering with sharp or abrasive objects.

To avoid deformation of the roofing material, it is necessary to protect the sheets from high loads.

When selecting color scheme it is necessary to be guided by the rule of compatibility of the roofing material with the facade of the entire building.

The most popular material used to create roofing is metal tiles. It is produced by many manufacturers, has many advantages, and also has an interesting appearance. Different types Such materials differ in colors, design and characteristics. The most popular is Supermonterrey metal tiles, which have many positive parameters compared to other varieties.

Material characteristics

It is created based on the popular Monterrey profile. This profile is created in Russian companies, characterized by the high quality of manufactured products. Supermonterrey metal tiles have many undoubted advantages:

affordable cost due to the manufacture of the product by Russian companies;
high strength, allowing you to create high-quality roofing;
long, reaching 40 years;
no need to exercise frequently renovation work in the process of using the created coating;
ease of installation, allowing each person to carry out the process independently.

Important! Most significant moment for many buyers is that the advanced profile imitates natural tiles, since it has an increased operating wave height, so this roof covering looks really attractive, and also produces a high-quality construction.

When creating such a material, a steel sheet coated with zinc and having a thickness of 0.5 mm is used. All sheets before sending to trade organizations tested against numerous standards.

Technical parameters of the material

Before purchasing any roofing, you should definitely study all its properties. Technical characteristics of Supermonterrey metal tiles are as follows:

there is a high-quality zinc coating that protects the structure from the corrosion process;
additionally a polymer coating is applied, which may have different composition and colors, so it is possible to select sheets that have the ideal appearance for a particular roof;
due to quality creation protective coating guarantees the formation of a material that can easily withstand impact sun rays, therefore does not fade and does not change its parameters during operation;
There is a high-quality primer between the zinc and polymer coatings, which improves adhesion and also increases the anti-corrosion properties of the elements;
specific is considered low, since it does not exceed 5 kg per 1 m2, and this is considered relevant for every person carrying out work on the roof;
good maintainability makes it possible to quickly and easily fix various defects or problems on the roofing;
the basic warranty provided by the manufacturer even reaches 50 years;
the dimensions of Supermonterrey metal tiles are similar to the base profile;
the sheet width is nominally 1190 mm, and the working width is 1100;
the sheet has a length ranging from 0.5 m to 9 m, so the most optimal size direct owners of residential buildings;
The wave pitch is 35 cm.

Important! Supermonterrey sheets differ from Monterrey in profile height, which is 7 mm larger, therefore equal to 46 mm, which guarantees the ability to truly imitate natural tiles, so the coating looks elegant and unusual on any roof.

Thus, numerous positive characteristics Supermonterrey metal tiles make it possible to use this material to obtain truly durable and reliable coverage, which will suit many buildings well. Parameters may vary slightly depending on different brands Therefore, all information contained in the documentation accompanying the material should be evaluated.

Sheet design and technology for their creation

Supermonterrey metal tiles are created from several layers, each of which has its own thickness and purpose. These include:

a sheet of steel having a thickness of 0.4 to 0.5 mm, and with a small amount of steel used, a sheet with optimal rigidity is obtained;
zinc layer, the thickness of which varies from 10 to 25 microns;
anti-corrosion coating, and its thickness starts from 0.1 mm;
the primer is applied in a layer of 5 to 10 microns, and its main purpose is to increase adhesion between different layers of sheets;
decorative and protective coatings, and varnish is used below, and different polymers are used on top, but polyester or pural is most often chosen for this, and the layer thickness varies from 25 to 200 microns;
mounting film, which is glued directly to the polymer coating and is intended to protect it during transportation and lifting to the roof.

Supermonterrey metal tiles can have different structures, so you can purchase sheets that are smooth or embossed, as well as matte.

Sheet colors

When choosing a material, the color of the sheets is taken into account. The color depends on the protective coating, which is created using various dyes.

Important! Manufacturers produce the material in a wide range of colors, so it is possible for each building to choose the optimal products that will fit perfectly into the exterior.

The number of shades exceeds 50 types, and you can even choose sheets with exotic colors.

Due to its light weight and other positive parameters, Supermonterrey metal tiles are often installed by owners of residential buildings with their own hands. To obtain an ideal result, it is advisable to adhere to certain recommendations:

can be performed on different ;
the correct temperature must be observed, which must exceed 14 degrees;
a vapor barrier, waterproofing and thermal insulation must first be created;
laying is done from bottom to top;
the sheets are located only horizontally, so the bottom row is installed first, and after that it is necessary to form the next rows upward, and their total number depends on the parameters of the roof slope;
during operation, an optimal ventilation gap is certainly created;
the sheets are laid with an overlap, and vertically such an overlap should not be less than 150 mm;
the sheets are carried beyond the cornice, and no less than 40 mm.

If you take into account all the above requirements and recommendations, you are guaranteed to obtain a truly attractive roofing covering that will look great on the existing structure, and will also be durable and reliable.

Metal tiles– modern roofing material.

Metal tile “Monterey”– combination modern technology and classic design.

This material is so light, despite its impressive appearance, that installing a roof made of such metal tiles does not cause problems. Separately, it should be noted great design, which closely resembles real clay tiles. A variety of relief shapes and types of coating, for example, viking, puretan, norman, etc., satisfy any customer demand.

IN price segment fluctuations depend on class offers "standard", "plus" And "premium". Roofing material "Monterey" distinguished by high strength, reliability, and, as a result, durability.

It is worth adding to what has been said that the price of this roofing material is pleasantly surprising. More precisely, it is not surprising, but pleasing: the price of this roof does not include delivery costs and customs duties, since it is produced in Mytishchi and in ten other cities of Russia, together with Ruukki(Finland), Corus(Great Britain), AkzoNobel(Sweden) and Arcelor(Germany).

TO high quality, which is also a guarantee of the durability of the material, of course, you need to add such an undoubted advantage as environmental friendliness - an important component in the modern world.

Assortment produced by a domestic manufacturer of metal tiles "Monterey", will not force you to look for something else elsewhere.

Production Features

To appreciate the quality of products "Monterey", we will consider the main aspects of the production technology of roofing material.

The main stages of the technology are as follows:

Rolled steel with a thickness of 0.4 - 0.6 mm is passivated, that is, a zinc coating is applied to it, which serves as protection against corrosion.
The galvanized sheet is primed on both sides.
A protective varnish is applied to the reverse side; the front side is treated with a polymer layer.

The thickness of the metal tile is at least 0.4 mm and reaches 0.6 mm, which allows it to withstand mechanical and climatic loads. The weight is 4.5 – 5.0 kg/sq.m. m, which provides convenience when installing the roof.

Types of protective coating

Metal tiles have two main types polymer material.

Based on them, reliable types of protective layer of metal tiles that meet the requirements of modern technology have been developed:

Polyester- the cheapest coating. It is highly resistant to various climatic influences;
Plastisol– the coating has a maximum thickness (200 microns) and has good resistance to mechanical stress. The disadvantage of this type is that it is not resistant to sunlight; therefore, its use is recommended in areas with moderate or minimum quantity high temperatures.

Depending on the type of external polymer coating of the metal tile, its further specifications, which influence price fluctuations, according to their components.

Prism Colorcoat Prisma TM– a polymer coating based on polyurethane with polyamide, has a high level of stability, strength and durability.
Polyvinyl fluoride (PVDF)- one of the most the best coatings in terms of resistance and durability, it can withstand even the influence of an aggressive environment.
Coatings developed on the basis of polyester using modifiers:
Granite CLOUDY– coating, which is an achievement of Arcelor, a German company; It has a smooth, matte appearance and is highly resistant to sunlight.
Viking– matte structured coating. The new product was developed jointly with a Swedish manufacturer and is characterized by increased flexibility and color stability.

The polymer coating provides the following quality characteristics metal tiles:

Size metal profile favorably distinguishes metal tiles "Monterey" from its analogues, due to the fact that the range of Monterrey sheets produced is quite wide, which allows you to choose right size, saving significant funds during installation, which, as is known, is always associated with technical waste.

The main indicators of metal profile dimensions are:

Length– for Monterrey sheet this figure varies from 0.5 m to 9.0 m;
Width– has two meanings, the first of which indicates overall size- 1.18 m, and the second - at usable area– 1.10 m
Profile height– 3.9 cm;
Wave step– 35 cm.

Knowledge of the basic technical characteristics of Monterrey metal tiles will allow you to right choice, settling on one or the other specific form material.

The choice of roofing material MP “Monterrey” depends solely on compliance with:

required climatic characteristics (type of polymer coating), allowing it to withstand wind, sun, snow, hail throughout the entire period of operation;
a design solution that maximizes the color range of this type of roofing;
budgetary capabilities of the consumer, which are also taken into account by the manufacturer MP Monterrey.

If the choice is made in favor of metal tiles from a domestic manufacturer, with the participation foreign companies, then all that remains is to move on to specific actions.

Calculation of the required amount of material

Let's take a closer look at what measurement parameters need to be made.

Step 1. Measure the roof, and, ideally, make a drawing indicating the dimensions of each slope.
Step 2. Based on the dimensions of the metal tile sheet offered by the manufacturer, calculate the required number of sheets.
Attention: it should be remembered that, unlike others roofing materials, metal tiles do not have symmetry. Therefore, when installing the roof, you will have to take into account that the sheets must be laid in one direction. Taking into account this feature of metal tiles, it is necessary to increase the amount of material. And the second point: metal tiles have a wave pitch of 35 cm, like a roofing tile; a standard sheet has a nominal and useful size - therefore, the calculation of the material must be made taking into account the useful width of the material.
Step 3. Select the optimal sheet length offered by the manufacturer, taking into account the length of the slope.
Step 4. Count the number of rows in the length and width of the slope. Calculate the number of sheets needed to cover the slope. Calculate all other slopes in the same way.

Tip 1. When choosing the length of the sheet, you should also be guided by ease of transportation. If, for example, a sheet length of 8 m is required, then more convenient option there will be a purchase of 2x4 m.

Tip 2. If it is difficult to calculate the material yourself, it is better to invite a specialist to be sure that the purchased material is sufficient, and also that it will not be superfluous.

It is convenient to prepare tools and equipment for roof installation in advance.

What you will need:

Installation instructions and roof drawings. Don’t put them away so that you don’t have to go downstairs every time to check the calculations.
Screwdriver.
Roulette.
Hammer.
Stapler with a supply of staples.
Pencil for marking.

Installation instructions for metal tiles “Monterey”

In addition to the installation recommendations offered by the manufacturer along with the purchased material, the instructions contain warnings that deserve utmost attention during installation and directly during operation of a metal tile roof "Monterey".

Here are some rules:

During installation, it is recommended to be careful not to damage the coating, for which it is recommended to use soft shoes.
If scratches occur, treat the damaged surface with paint.
Recommended for installation on roofs with a slope of 14° and above.
For fastening use RAL 4.8x35 screws. Screw consumption – 5 – 6 pieces per sq.m.

Use a tool with an abrasive disc to cut sheets of metal tiles.

Sheathing for metal tiles

General principle devices " roofing pie" under this type metal tiles does not differ significantly from the installation of other types of roofing: a waterproofing layer is laid on the thermal insulation to prevent condensation from accumulating on the underside of the roofing material.

Then a sheathing is installed under the metal tiles, for which boards 24–40 mm thick are used.

The bottom sheathing board should be approximately 1.5 times thicker. The edge of the metal tile sheet should protrude 60 - 100 mm beyond the sheathing.

The pitch between the upper sheathing boards should be about 300 mm, and between the lower ones - about 200 mm, since the pitch length of the waves of metal tiles is the same.
If the roofing material is Monterrey Standard, then the sheathing pitch is 350 mm; for roofing Monterrey Super or Lux– sheathing pitch 400 mm

A counter-lattish is placed on the waterproofing, similar to the lathing.

When installing the sheathing, you should also provide in advance for mounting locations for ventilation, antennas, grounding, drainage or snow retention and other systems.

Very important point: Before laying the tiles, the rafter system and sheathing must be treated with an antiseptic to avoid rotting of wooden structures.

Note: For metal tiles "Monterey" no additional strengthening of the rafter system is required due to the fact that its weight does not differ, for example, from the weight soft roof.

Installation of metal roofing “Monterey”

Metal roofing requires easy care. It consists of periodically removing leaves and other debris, washing the surface, but the use of tools with sharp edges is prohibited. metal parts (metal brushes and so on).

Proper installation of the roof is the key to its long-term operation.

Currently, one of the popular roofing materials is Supermonterrey metal tiles. Despite the fact that today there is a wide selection of roofing materials on the construction market, this profile enjoys well-deserved popularity.

The roofing material of this series is the next level of evolution of the well-known, very popular basic Monterrey profile. Both of these profiles are produced in Russia at the facilities of domestic enterprises, for example, Metal Profile, Rosmetall, Severstal, etc. This means more low price, the ability to dynamically respond to customer requests. The tiles of this series are distinguished by their strength, durability, and ease of installation, which, in fact, is what the client needs.
Home distinctive feature The improved profile from the basic one is a better imitation of traditional tiles due to the increased wave height. For the manufacture of this metal tile, galvanized steel sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm is used. Finished sheets supplied to wholesale and retail stores retail chains, are necessarily checked for compliance with company standards. In particular, the following indicators are subject to control:

geometric characteristics of the profile (dimensions in plan, crescent shape);
state of the sheet surface (roughness or smoothness);
quality of application, accuracy in thickness of protective and decorative coatings;
sheet thickness.

In addition to the base zinc coating, this metal tile has an additional protective and decorative polymer coating different color and composition. They are characterized by high resistance to exposure ultraviolet radiation, which means they practically do not fade in the sun. A primer is also used between these two layers, which increases the degree of adhesion of the coating and provides additional anti-corrosion protection. Metal tiles with the Supermonterrey profile have positive qualities characteristic of this type of product:

short specific gravity– no more than 5 kg/m2. This is very noticeable when you have to work at heights;
high level of maintainability - any defective sheet in the roof is easy to obtain and replace;
the basic warranty on roofing materials can be as long as 30–50 years.

Specifications

The dimensions of Supermonterrey metal tiles are practically no different from the basic profile of the series. It is characterized by the following geometry:

width of the finished sheet is 1180 mm in nominal terms or 1100 mm in useful terms;
leaf length ranges from half a meter to 9 m;
The wave pitch is also 35 cm.

The only thing that distinguishes the improved sheet is the dimensions of the profile height, which is 46 mm (7 mm higher than the base Monterrey). This allows you to more realistically imitate natural tiles. The mounted composition looks more expressive.

Sheet structure and manufacturing technology

In terms of its structure, the finished sheet of this metal tile consists of 10 layers, including the main sheet.

Each layer plays its role and has an optimal thickness:

Steel sheet – 0.4…0.5 mm. This thickness allows for low material consumption without wasting general characteristics rigidity (it is provided by the section profile).
The zinc layer is from 10 to 25 microns. This is basic protective layer, the mass flow of which should ideally be at the level of 275 g/m2.
Anti-corrosion layer – from 0.1 mm.
Primer – from 5 to 10 microns. Ensures reliable adhesion of the following protective and decorative layers.
Protective and decorative coatings. The lower surface of the sheet is treated with a protective varnish, and the upper surface is treated with a polymer (polyester, pural, plastisol, etc.). The thickness of this layer depends on the material and ranges from 25 to 200 microns.
Mounting film – glued to the polymer coating for protection during transportation. It is quite rare.

The final surface structure can be smooth, matte, or embossed. The technology for manufacturing sheets of this metal tile has the following order of operations:

rolling out a sheet of metal required thickness;
coating;
profile formation.

Color range of sheets

The outer polymer coating of the sheet plays not only a protective role, but also decorative role. A wide range of colors allows you to choose tiles to match any façade. Russian and foreign companies most often use the RAL palette when producing their tiles. Total There are more than 50 available colors. In addition to traditional colors, Supermonterrey uses exotic colors that give the surface an unforgettable shine.

Thanks to its high operational properties, this metal tile is used in various areas construction industry. You can see roofs covered with Supermonterrey in almost any climatic zone countries. Under these tiles you can build any configuration rafter systems. The only one an important condition is to observe the angle of inclination of the roof to the horizon - it should not be more than 14 degrees. This is due to the fact that lower values do not provide sufficient drainage efficiency and contribute to the formation of leaks.

The installation of metal tile sheets must be combined with the installation of heat, steam and waterproofing. Laying of sheets occurs in the direction from bottom to top. In this case, you should follow simple but vital recommendations:

Laying of sheets should occur in a horizontal direction. The bottom row is laid first, then the next row, etc., depending on the length of the roof slope. The reference point is chosen to be the side that does not have bevels, transitions, joints, etc.;
it is necessary to ensure a guaranteed ventilation gap;
the overlap of the sheets should be 150 mm (in the vertical direction);
the projection of the sheet beyond the cornice must be at least 40 mm.

The right approach will allow your roof for a long time function without loss of performance characteristics.

conclusions

Metal tiles with the Super Monterrey profile are deservedly popular because they have a more attractive appearance compared to the basic Monterrey. Having several big sizes in terms of profile height, it nevertheless retains the characteristics and almost the same price. Watch the video

Monterey is visually similar to the natural tiles familiar to many. Therefore, it can be used both for large-scale construction work, as well as minor repairs to the existing roof.

Choosing a future roof covering this material, you should know about its several main characteristics. In particular, Monterrey metal tiles, the technical characteristics of which consist of several parameters: dimensions, profile thickness, wave pitch, etc., also have several types of polymer coatings and profile varieties.

Metal tile production

A standard sheet of metal tiles is made using several layers. First inner layer is a sheet of galvanized steel. This allows the material to be strong enough to withstand impressive loads. The sheet is quite thin, because in production they use steel with a thickness in the range of 0.35-0.52 mm.

The fabricated steel mold is then coated with a layer containing a specified amount of zinc to prevent corrosion from occurring and progressing. A special primer is applied to these two layers on both sides, which ensures reliable adhesion paint and varnish materials with a metal surface.

After which they use several types of polymer coating, which we will consider later - one with outside, and paintwork with inside profile. They are both designed to protect the roof from external negative impacts environment.

Considering standard sizes metal tiles Monterrey, it is worth noting that according to state standards, the thickness of the sheets varies within 0.5 mm. This is quite enough for building materials to achieve high levels of reliability and strength, experts say.

Types of polymer coatings for metal tiles

Monterrey, whose technical characteristics suggest high strength, as well as resistance to external influence, may have several polymer coatings. They differ in thickness, sheet rust resistance, and other protective properties.

Typically used in production the following types polymers: polyester, regular or matte, plastisol, pural, PVDF. The first two protective coatings protect the tiles from corrosion, thereby increasing their service life. The difference between matte polyester is its higher thickness - 35 microns. Plastisol with a thickness of 200 microns is ideal for protecting Monterey from direct contact with ultraviolet rays, as well as exposure to mechanical and chemical factors.

In places with sharply variable climates, it is better to use tiles with polymer coating, made of plural. It allows the roofing covering to maintain its working appearance and technical characteristics during high air temperature changes. The layer thickness is about 50 microns.

And finally, PVDC or polyvinyl chloride with a thickness of 27 microns. Thanks to its production using acrylic, it significantly extends the life of the tiles, reliably protecting the sheets from various types of damage.

How to wisely choose the appropriate sizes of Monterrey tiles?

Metal tiles are well suited for covering roofs with flat, classic shapes. If it is selected for use in more complex design, you may encounter costly use of the material, since a considerable part of the sheets after cutting will turn into a pile of waste. To save money, experts advise choosing the most suitable sheet sizes directly for your building. In this case, one should take into account such characteristics of Monterrey as width, length, wave pitch, wave height, etc.

The most popular and frequently used types of Monterrey metal tile profiles in construction are:

MP Monterrey,
MP Supermonterrey,
MP Maxi.

The first type of profile, with a sheet length of 0.5-9 mm and a height of 39 mm, is most often chosen by builders. It provides good performance characteristics tiles, durable and resistant to external influences.

Supromonterrey has similar characteristics. However, the profile height is an order of magnitude greater and reaches 46 mm. This type of profile is more expensive, but its high cost is more than compensated by its decent aesthetic qualities and presentable appearance. In both cases, the profile wave pitch varies within 350 mm.

The largest step can be obtained by choosing the last type of profile – Maxi. In this case it will be 400 mm. Standard length Maxi is 0.5-9 mm, and width is 46 mm. MP Maxi is often used in the construction of buildings with a unique architectural design, in which this type of metal tile looks the most presentable. In general, the useful width of each profile is 1.1 m, while the total varies within 1.19 m.

Advantages and disadvantages

The tangible advantages of the tiles in question include, first of all, their quality, durability and aesthetically attractive appearance. Using Monterrey, you can bring the appearance of the roof as close as possible to that covered with expensive natural ceramic tiles.

The building material is strong enough to withstand significant loads. At the same time, it has a small mass, fluctuating between 4-5 kg, which does not put an unbearable load on the building structure.

Metal tiles can be used in almost any area with a wide variety of climatic conditions. The roofing covering withstands both extreme heat and very low temperatures.

Special protective coatings protect Monterrey from corrosion and extend its service life to 40 and even 50 years.

A wide range of tile colors allows you to choose the most suitable option for any building. Among the popular shades of Monterrey: red ruby, red wine, Ivory, light grey, green, white, and many others.

However, like any construction material, metal tiles have a number of limitations:

the need to install sound insulation. Precipitation or strong winds cannot help but be reflected in a whole symphony of sounds on metal surface roofs. Therefore, the future owner of the roof, when choosing Monterrey, should think in advance about installing sound insulation;
increased installation costs complex roof. The combined design will require craftsmen to adjust the sheets to the roof parameters, which will inevitably lead to the appearance large quantity waste;
limit in minimum slope roofs. Experts believe that the best option laying metal tiles will have a roof with a slope starting from 14 degrees.
