Tile Form Roofing FAQs
Tileform roofing is an innovative system that uses high-grade steel sheets pressed into the shape of a traditional pan-tile roof. It combines the classic, attractive appearance of tiles with the lightweight strength, durability, and low maintenance benefits of a modern metal roofing system.
The key advantages are weight, durability, and security. Tileform sheets are significantly lighter than concrete or clay tiles, reducing the structural load on a building. They are also much faster to install, require virtually no maintenance, and cannot be dislodged by wind or vandals, offering superior security.
Its versatility and traditional look make it perfect for a wide range of applications, including:
Garden rooms, home offices, and summerhouses
Garages and workshops that need to match a house roof
Stables and high-end agricultural buildings
Porches and home extensions
Replacing roofs on park homes and chalets
Yes, it provides a remarkably authentic look. The sheets are pressed into a classic tile profile and are available in traditional colours like terracotta and anthracite grey. From the ground, it's often very difficult to distinguish from a conventional tiled roof.
A professionally installed Tileform roof is incredibly long-lasting, with a life expectancy of 25 to 40 years. The high-quality steel core and multi-layered protective coatings ensure it withstands the elements for decades.
This is a common concern with metal roofing, but modern installations minimise noise. When fitted correctly over a solid roof deck with a proper underlayment, the sound of rain is significantly dampened, making it no louder than many other roofing materials.
It performs exceptionally well. Unlike individual tiles that can lift and be blown off in a storm, Tileform sheets are large panels fixed securely across the roof structure. This interlocking system is extremely resistant to wind uplift, providing excellent security in bad weather.
The sheets feature a modern, multi-layer coating system with a UV-resistant topcoat. This is designed to be highly durable and resistant to fading, peeling, and cracking, ensuring the roof maintains its colour and attractive finish for many years.
Tileform roofing is available in a range of traditional colours designed to mimic classic roof tiles. Popular choices include Terracotta Red and Anthracite Grey, allowing you to perfectly match the aesthetic of your home or surrounding buildings.
Yes. We provide a complete system of colour-matched components, including purpose-made ridges, bargeboards (verges), and flashings. This ensures every part of the roof is perfectly finished and completely weatherproof.
Tileform roofing is suitable for roofs with a moderate pitch, typically requiring a minimum pitch of around 10-12 degrees to ensure effective water run-off and maintain the traditional tiled appearance.
Yes. We can professionally integrate roof windows and skylights into a Tileform roof. Our skilled installers use specialised flashing kits designed for the tile profile to ensure a perfect, watertight seal around the window.
The lightweight sheets are installed onto roof battens over a breathable membrane. They are fixed in place with colour-matched, self-sealing screws. The sheets overlap to create a fully weatherproof and secure covering that is much faster to install than individual tiles.
Your new roof will be installed by the skilled, directly employed teams at Outdoor Makeover Group. Our installers are experienced in fitting these specific systems, guaranteeing a high-quality finish and optimal performance.
Yes, significantly. A Tileform roof weighs only a fraction of a concrete or clay tile roof. This makes it an ideal solution for timber-framed structures like garden rooms or for re-roofing older buildings where the original frame cannot support heavy tiles.
Thanks to the large format of the sheets, installation is very efficient. A Tileform roof on a standard garage or garden room can often be completed in just a day or two, which is much quicker than the time-consuming process of laying individual tiles.
This type of roof is virtually maintenance-free. The durable finish does not require painting or treatment. We simply recommend an annual check to ensure gutters and valleys are clear of leaves and debris.
While the roofing is strong, it is not designed to be walked on directly. Any access required should be done using crawling boards to spread the load across the support structure underneath to avoid denting the profile.
Yes. It provides the premium look of a tiled roof without the high cost and structural requirements. Its combination of rapid installation, zero maintenance, and exceptional durability offers fantastic long-term value.
