GrandeTile – Metal Roofing
GrandTile metal roofing provides unsurpassed beauty to your home. Still, most products on the market are costly and highly vulnerable to wind storms that are common in our region. That is not the case with our GrandeTile style roof. GrandeTile adds charm and superior protection to your historical or contemporary dwelling. With a variety of colors and finishes available, you can enjoy the beauty of tile roofing with the great benefits of metal roofing, at a fraction of the cost of a typical tile roof. GrandeTile offers an aesthetic solution that matches that of Spanish tile or terracotta. Unlike those products, GrandeTile will never stain, will sustain winds up to 150 miles per hour, and is guaranteed for life.
Tile Roofing that is Light Weight, Durable and Energy Efficient
Light Weight:
Tile roofing can weigh as much as 2000 pounds per 100 square feet. This weight places a strain on your home and poses a significant cave-in threat in the event of a fire. GrandeTile weighs less than 75 pounds per 100 square feet.
Durable:
Our Louisiana weather provides plenty of challenges for traditional tile roofing. Winter temperatures and summer heat produce contractions and expansions that cause some materials to become brittle and crack. GrandeTile’s composition can handle these temperature changes with ease. Our outstanding warranty provides additional peace-of-mind for homeowners.
Energy Efficient:
GrandeTile’s industry-leading PVDF coating technology includes reflective pigments for energy efficiency. Our unique design also includes an integral air gap as a thermal break, further helping to prevent warm weather heat transfer into your home and attic.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Classic Metal Roof Systems offers the industry’s most comprehensive lifetime limited warranty available. Our warranty guarantees your roof will not chip, peel, flake, blister, burn, rust, split, or crack with age. Additionally, our paint systems carry a non-pro-rated 30-Year Limited Warranty ensuring your roof’s finish will resist fade and chalk. And if you sell your home the warranty transfers to all future owners, extending 40 years from the point of installation. If your roof does experience a warranted failure, we will cover the cost of materials and workmanship to repair or replace your roof.
We provide a warranty at this level of coverage because our products and technology are proven. In over 30 years of roofing thousands of homes across the world, Classic Metal Roofing Systems has had fewer than ten warranted claims. We are proud of that track record, and we remain committed to set new standards of excellence for years to come.
