Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Stone Coated Steel Roofing

What is a stone coated steel roof?
A stone coated steel roof is typically made from steel or other types of metal. The metal is coated with stone chips and attached using an acrylic film. It's one of the most durable materials available and has many aesthetic advantages over traditional roofing materials.
How does the cost compare to traditional materials?
Compared to other traditional roofing materials, Stone coated steel roofing is approximately about 15%-20% more. However, once you install a stone coated steel roof, you will likely not have to install another roof again. This provides better overall value over time by reducing maintenance and energy costs.
What roofing profiles do you carry?
Tefute USA, Inc carries six distinct profiles to suit your architectural needs: Bond, Classical, Wood Shake, Shingles, Roman, and Roman II. Each profile offers the same high durability with different aesthetic styles.
What is the lifespan of a stone coated steel roof?
Stone Coated Steel Roofs typically have an average life span of approximately 40-70 years if installed properly. They significantly outlast asphalt shingles, which typically need replacement every 20 years. Tefute USA. Inc offers a lifetime warranty of 50 years.
Is stone coated steel roofing weather resistant?
Yes. Stone-coated steel roofs can endure harsh weather conditions. Our products feature Class 4 Impact Resistance (UL2218), protecting you from hailstorms, and are engineered to withstand hurricanes and high winds.
Is it energy efficient?
Yes. Another benefit of using stone coated steel roofing is that it cuts down energy costs. Stone coated steel roofs reflect UV rays rather than absorbing them. With proper ventilation, this keeps your home cooler in the summer and protects your home from UV radiation, ultimately lowering your energy bills.
Can I walk on my stone coated steel roof?
Yes, but you should avoid walking on the sidelaps. You should only walk on the higher portion of the tiles (the nose) and directly over the battens to prevent damage.
