supporting structure to be less bulky / costly.
• A wide color range available in 7 standard colours.
• Large panel size enables roofing to be completed faster.
• Easy & secure — roofing sheets are fixed to the roof
structure.
• No underlays needed to ensure weather-proofness,
unlike traditional tiles.
Quality:
• ALAF mark of quality — each sheet is inspected over 6
times before dispatch.
Coating:
• World class patented coating technology for extended
durability and lasting colour.
