Arkansas Tile Roofs

Beneath the rich, Mediterranean look of Capistrano Tile resides a heart of steel. A strong, 26-gauge metal armor that has been coated with Zincalume corrosion inhibitors, epoxy primers and other protective layers to provide a permanent roof product that will not crack, break or curl.

A thick coating of ceramic, fired earth-stone granules are then applied to give lasting beauty that tenaciously resists the harmful effects of sun, wind, rain, hail and snow. Known as stone-coated steel roofing, the resulting technology has brought forth a product that wears like steel, but yet provides the versatile color and texture of the natural wonders around us.

The practical beauty of Capistrano Tile is that it emulates the rich look without the extreme weight of of conventional tile. At just 1.5 pounds per square foot, Capistrano Tile is up to eight times lighter than clay or concrete tile, and four to five times lighter that lightweight concrete and fiber-cement products. In addition, the interlocking features of Capistrano Tile actually improves the rigidity of the building and its resistance to wind and earthquake induced forces.
