Tile-inspired aluminium profile for a more architectural roofline
Metcoppo is a pressed, step-tile aluminium roofing profile that gives a roof the visual rhythm of tiles while retaining the characteristics of a formed metal sheet. It is commonly selected when the appearance of the roof is a major part of the building façade.
Evermetal manufactures this roofing profile through in-house roll-forming/corrugation from approved aluminium coil stock. The production order records the agreed thickness, colour, profile details, cut lengths and quantities before forming begins.
Because step spacing, effective cover, sheet length and forming details depend on the production line, estimation should be made from the current tooling specification. Evermetal confirms the agreed thickness, step/profile details, colour, lengths and accessory schedule before production.
Best use cases
- Duplexes and upscale residential homes wanting a tiled aesthetic
- Estate developments where visual consistency across many roofs matters
- Projects where stone-coated tiles are desired but budget or truss design favour aluminium
- Hospitality and boutique commercial buildings
Gauge and specification guidance
| Thickness / gauge | Project-specific options are confirmed in millimetres on the quotation; do not rely on an informal market label. |
|---|---|
| Profile | Pressed tile-effect Metcoppo profile; step spacing and effective cover are confirmed from the production line specification. |
| Length | Cut-to-length within production and transport limits; long sheets require a handling plan to prevent damage. |
| Finish / coating | Current colour and coating options are confirmed against the exact coil/batch being quoted. |
| Verification | Profile, thickness, colour, length, accessories and quantities are documented before production. |
Colour and finish
Colour should be selected from the current material or supplier swatch presented for the order. Do not rely on a phone screen or an old colour chart as the final approval standard.
Where a development requires repeat colour across phases, record the colour reference and, where practical, the batch information so later replenishment can be assessed properly.
Why buyers choose this profile
- Distinctive tile-effect appearance without introducing a separate small-tile installation pattern.
- Cut-to-length production can reduce unnecessary end-laps where project dimensions allow.
- Works well on highly visible residential and hospitality rooflines.
- Can be quoted together with matching ridge, valley, barge and flashing requirements.
- Written profile and thickness verification reduces the risk of visually similar but materially different substitutions.
Installation, handling and verification
Use dimensions from the current Metcoppo tooling when setting out the roof and estimating quantities.
Long formed sheets require careful lifting and stacking; step profiles can be damaged by dragging or point loading.
Fastener placement, support spacing and roof pitch must follow the actual profile and project requirements.
Approve colour and thickness before full production, especially for large or phased projects.
Required accessories
Prepare a complete accessory schedule: ridges, valleys, barges, apron/sidewall flashings, closures, fasteners, gutters, rainwater collectors and repair materials as applicable.
