Genuine Metrotile Roof Tile

Due to the success of Metrotile® across Africa, a trend has emerged of criminals importing cheap / fake tiles from the Far East and passing them of as Metrotile®. These tiles are way below our standards and will fail quickly.

Making good stone coated roof tiles is a difficult and complicated process. Getting just one part of the process wrong leads to tile failure such as corrosion, chip loss and colour change. This can happen as little as 3 months after installation, but the effects last a lifetime;

Because brand new tiles often look similar it can be difficult to tell the difference between Genuine Metrotile® and fakes at first glance. However, there are a few things you can look for to distinguish the fakes from Genuine Metrotile®:

Count the “pans”

Our Metrotile® Bond Profile has 8 “pans” pressed into it. These are the swooping dips between each ridge (see below). Fakes will usually have less than 8, typically 5 or 6.
