Metal Roof Tile That Looks Like Spanish S Tile?


I am trying to find a manufacturer of metal roofing tiles that look like a spanish S style roof tile. Any thoughts?

The product is called S-Tile, just like you were asking for. 4 foot sections, with an overlapping hem installed on battens with wood grib neoprene gasketed tek screws exposed.

Thanks Aaron, looks like Decra does make a "medeterranian tile".

Ed, who makes that "S-tile"?

'Techo-Tile' by Atas International. Comes in eave to ridge lengths.
Did one 6 maybe 7 yrs ago in Willowbrook. Looks very much like glazed tile.

Grumpy,

Lets see if the cut and paste of this chart works. The one I mentioned before is actually called " STILE " , not S-Tile. The ones I handled were a spanish mission S style and also had an embedded granule texture embossed on the colored panel. It is the one from Metal Sales, listed below.

That link does not seem to be activated.

Google: S-tile

Then the 2nd or 3rd site was the one I looked it up in.

There is a company out of Fla called PermaTile, they have a damn nice looking product. It is shipped in single pieces that run from eave to ridge, about 38" wide.
Also, closer is Met-Tile in Canada, similar product, different look.
Gerard has a stone coated tile product, looks ok, their parent company just purchased another stone coated company out of Canada, they have some great looking products, but I can't remember the Dura-something maybe.
You can find info on most of these products on the Metal Roofing Alliance website.

Guys thanks for all the help. I ended up walking away from this project because the customer is just a jerk in general. Good to know for future refrence, however.
