Florida
QUEENTILE is a Florida company. Our warehouse is in Webster, our office is in Tampa, and the range is stocked at distributor counters from Gainesville and St. Augustine in the north down to Naples and across to Delray Beach.
What a roof faces here
QUEENTILE panels are wind-rated to 155 mph (250 km/h), and the Verona and Shake profiles carry TAS 125 test reports — the Florida protocol for roof-system performance. The panels interlock and fasten mechanically to lath battens rather than sitting as individually bedded field tiles, so an uplift event has a continuous fastened plane to work against instead of a course of separate pieces.
The steel core is coated on both faces with aluminum-zinc — up to six times more rust-resistant than conventional galvanized steel — and then buried under natural basalt granules in a patented acrylic binder and a sealed acrylic glaze. On a barrier island, a bayfront street, or anywhere the afternoon breeze carries salt inland, that stack is what stands between the roof and a decade of corrosion.
A QUEENTILE roof weighs under 1.4 lb per square foot. Concrete and clay barrel tile weigh several times that, which is why a Mediterranean reroof so often turns into a structural conversation first. Verona gives you the deep half-round course and the shadow line at a fraction of the dead load, on the framing that is already there.
The color is natural basalt stone, not paint — so there is no pigment layer to chalk, fade, or peel off the south slope. The finishing glaze adds UV protection and sheds dust in the first rain.
The basalt granule layer absorbs impact instead of ringing like bare metal. Through an afternoon storm cell a QUEENTILE roof sounds closer to asphalt shingle or clay tile than to standing seam.

Questions
The Verona and Shake profiles carry TAS 125 test reports — the Florida testing protocol for roof assemblies — and QUEENTILE stone-coated steel is rated to resist wind gusts up to 155 mph. A Florida Building Code evaluation for the metal roofing system is available in our certificate library, and your distributor counter can supply the current documentation for permitting.
QUEENTILE is carried by 25 authorized distributor branches across Florida, including SRS Building Products, ABC Supply, and SYL Roofing Supply. Every branch is listed with its address and phone number on this page, grouped by city.
The steel is aluminum-zinc coated on both sides — up to six times more corrosion-resistant than standard galvanized — and sealed under basalt stone and acrylic glaze. The 50-year warranty covers corrosion as well as appearance.
