The worry-proof roof

You won't need to worry about the weight

While a concrete tile roof on an average home can weigh around 10 tonnes, the equivalent Gerard pressed steel roof in a satin finish would weigh just one tonne.

You won't need to worry about the wind

Because Gerard interlocking panels are fixed horizontally, a Gerard roof is significantly more secure in high winds than vertically fixed roofs such as concrete tiles or longrun iron.

You won't need to worry about the rain

A properly installed Gerard roof is fully weatherproof, and unlike traditional concrete or clay tiles, Gerard panels won't crack and let in water.

You won't need to worry about sea spray

The protective coatings on Gerard roof panels include a special combination of aluminium and zinc, which provides up to eight times the corrosion resistance of alternative steel roofing products.

You won't need to worry about snow or ice

Gerard roofs have been well proven in the cold. They are unaffected by show, frost or ice and because the panels are made of steel, they can easily withstand heavy snow loadings.

Gerard Roof Trims

Trim is an essential roofing element, for performance as well as appearance. Gerard manufactures roof trim components that are fully compatible with our range of pressed steel tiles.

You can choose a trim that matches the finish of your Gerard roof exactly or a contrasting colour to create a specific effect.

There are three kinds of roof trim, Angle, Barrel and Box. These feature both on hips of roofs and gable ends.
