What is Metal Roofing?

Metal roofing is a broad term for a wide variety of roofing products that are composed of some type of metal.

What is Stone-Coated Metal Roofing?

Stone-coated metal roofing is a type of metal roofing that provides the durability of industrial metal roofing products, as well as the aesthetic appeal of traditional roofing materials such as asphalt shingles, clay tile or wood shakes.

Made from steel sheets and coated with natural stone granules, stone-coated metal roofing can withstand nearly anything Mother Nature has to offer–without sacrificing on style.

Stone-coated metal roofing is made from steel sheets, and then coated with stone granules.

The steel sheets make the perfect substrate since they can easily be “stamped” into a wide variety of shapes. The stone-coating process allows for a wide variety of vivid colors and textures that can replicate the look of traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles, clay tiles and wood shakes. This is what gives stone-coated metal roofing products, such as Sangobuild Metal Roofing, the design versatility to suit any style.

Metal Roofing vs Stone-Coated Metal Roofing

In addition to the long list of benefits that metal roofing provides, stone-coated metal roofing comes with its own additional benefits as well, including:

Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Infrared pigments embedded in the stone-coatings increase the natural solar reflectance (aka energy efficiency) of a metal roof.

Noise Reduction: Sangobuild stone-coated steel roofing profiles don’t require any extra soundproofing materials and are peacefully quiet in the rain thanks to the sound-absorbing cushion of granular stone coating.
