Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose QUEENTILE?

They are beautiful, durable, and provide multilayer protection against heat and harsh weather. Built to last over 50 years, they feature a high-quality steel base coated with aluminum-zinc layers on both sides, which are six times more rust-resistant than other protective coatings. Our unique and patented acrylic adhesive securely bonds natural basalt grit to the base, making our products unbreakable, durable, and flexible at the same time. The finish coating offers additional protection against cracking and fading while also self-cleaning the roof of dust.

Will stone-coated roof tiles fade in the sun?

No, QUEENTILE stone-coated roof tiles do not fade in the sun. The stone-coated surface is treated with deep thermal painting and protected by an acrylic glaze, ensuring long-lasting color retention. The natural basalt grit is highly resistant to UV radiation, maintaining its vibrant appearance throughout the tile's entire lifespan.

Is a stone-coated steel roof noisy when it rains?

No, stone-coated steel roof tiles are designed to be quiet, even in heavy rain. The natural basalt grit coating not only eliminates the metallic sheen, giving the roof a refined and elegant appearance, but also enhances sound insulation. It absorbs the impact of rain and hail, reducing noise and providing a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment.

Do stone-coated steel roof tiles shed or lose their coating over time?

No, QUEENTILE stone-coated steel roof tiles do not shed or lose their coating. The surface layer of natural basalt grit is sealed with a specialized acrylic coating, preventing granule loss and contamination. This advanced technology ensures the roof maintains its aesthetic appeal and durability throughout its entire lifespan.

Does QUEENTILE offer a warranty?

Yes, the manufacturer offers a 50-year legal warranty on QUEENTILE products. This warranty covers both corrosion and aesthetic performance, unlike many other manufacturers who only offer coverage for corrosion.

Is stone-coated steel roofing fire-resistant?

Yes, stone-coated steel roofing is classified as a non-combustible material (Class A). In both new construction and many re-roofing projects, metal roofing systems are considered Class A non-combustible roof assemblies, making them the most fire-resistant roofing option available.

Can QUEENTILE be installed in regions with extreme weather conditions?

Yes. Composite QUEENTILE has a maximum class of resistance to natural disasters. It withstands wind gusts up to 155 mph (250 km/h), is resistant to sudden temperature changes, and the roofing material is not threatened by frost or heat waves. Therefore, this material is widely used in a variety of climatic conditions.

Can I walk on my QUEENTILE roof?

Yes, QUEENTILE roofs are made from durable steel and are designed to support the weight of people walking on them. However, caution should be taken when walking on the roof. It's recommended to step only on the flat sections at the nose of the tiles. Professional roofers can walk freely across the roof during the installation process.

What is the difference between QUEENTILE and metal tile?

QUEENTILE uses high-quality Aluzinc steel that is up to 6× more durable than conventional galvanized steel, installs in a checkerboard pattern for lower waste, reduces rain noise with the stone coating, resists UV fading, and holds snow instead of shedding it in avalanches.

What is the difference between QUEENTILE and asphalt shingle?

QUEENTILE installs on lath (no OSB dependency), has expressive profile shape, installs in any weather, weighs under 1.4 lb per square foot, is Class A non-combustible, does not smell in heat, is self-ventilated, and uses a high-quality acrylic binder so stone grit does not shed.

What is the difference between QUEENTILE and ceramic tile?

QUEENTILE is lighter and faster to install with 3- and 6-tile sheets, will not shatter like ceramic in transport, and its non-porous surface helps keep moisture out of the roof assembly.

Why do customers choose QUEENTILE stone-coated roofing tiles?
