Sapphire - Spanish Metal Tile Roofing

Sapphire® is a metal roofing system designed to simulate the durable yet elegant look of clay Spanish roofing tiles. Stamped from a tough 26 gauge steel product, Sapphire has many benefits.

Sapphire comes in panels cut to the inch. These panels are formed per specification from 30" to 30' long, saving time and money when installing.

The barrel shaped metal tile is extremely strong, due to the strength provided by the circular barrel shape, as well as the 26 gauge steel thickness.

Stronger than Traditional Clay Tile

Sapphire is far stronger than traditional clay tile roofing. With its stout 1-9/16" or 1-3/4" tall metal barrels and 26 gauge thickness, you can walk all over it without fear of loose tiles sliding off or breaking through a fragile clay tile.

In hurricane strength winds, Sapphire performs. In hail it will not be penetrated. In a fire it will not burn, but will protect your home from the flames.

Lighter than Traditional Clay Tile

One of the major drawbacks of a traditional clay tile roof is the weight. Clay tile roofing usually weighs between 10-15 lbs per square foot (1000-1500 lbs per SQ). This adds up to put an enormous load on the house. It also requires for an extremely strong framework to support the roof structure.

Sapphire Spanish Clay Metal Tile is far lighter in weight than traditional clay tiles. Weighing in at 1.1 lbs per square foot (110 lbs per square), it truly is a strong yet lightweight product.

All the Beauty of Clay Tile

You don't have to substitute beauty for performance. That is the idea behind Sapphire, and it really shows. Whether you are looking at a Sapphire roof from afar, or from right below it, Sapphire really looks like tile roofing.
