European Tile Metal Roofing
European Tile combines the timeless character of traditional tile roofing with the strength and lasting performance of a modern metal roofing system. Its refined, old-world appearance creates a distinctive architectural finish that complements traditional, contemporary and European-inspired homes.
Like RARE Manufacturing’s Heavy Shake profile, European Tile is installed over a 2 x 2 batten system. This raised installation method creates built-in ventilation beneath the roofing panels and allows the system to be installed over many existing roofs, subject to the condition of the roof and applicable local building codes.
Designed for Steep-Sloped Roofs
European Tile is installed on 12.5-inch centres and is an excellent option for steep-sloped or non-walkable roof areas, including slopes greater than 36.5°. The system has a minimum roof-slope requirement of 3:12, or approximately 14°.
The panels are installed from the ridge down toward the eave. This installation method allows individual panels to be accessed and replaced more easily if they are ever damaged by falling branches, debris or another isolated impact.
