Classic profile — balanced geometry and restrained tile character
Classic is selected for buyers who want a stone-coated roof with a more restrained repeating pattern. The visual name does not establish technical equivalence between brands, so Evermetal verifies the exact panel and manufacturer specification before quotation approval.
Stone-coated roofing is a product category, not one universal construction. Before payment, the quotation should identify the profile/brand or batch being supplied and the measurable information available for it, including coverage, weight, base material/coating description, colour, accessories, fixing method and warranty where provided.
Best use cases
- Dignified residential homes wanting understated tile character
- Institutional buildings — schools, churches, offices
- Estates matching a traditional architectural style
- Re-roofing projects seeking a calmer profile than Bond
Dimensions and specification
| Profile | Profile geometry and effective cover are confirmed against the exact brand/batch offered in the quotation. |
|---|---|
| Base material | Base-metal composition and protective coating are accepted only from the current manufacturer or supplier specification. |
| Coverage | Tiles-per-square-metre and effective coverage are calculated from the exact tile dimensions supplied for the order. |
| Weight | Product weight is confirmed from the current technical sheet or batch information rather than a generic market figure. |
| Roof pitch | Minimum pitch and fixing method must follow the exact manufacturer installation guide supplied for the product. |
Colour and finish
Stone-granule colours can look different in direct sun, shade and photographs. Approve the current physical sample or identified supplier swatch where colour is commercially important.
For phased projects, record the product and colour reference. Natural granule and production variation may make later additions visually different from the original roof.
Why buyers choose this profile
- Balanced profile that works across traditional and contemporary residential forms.
- Textured surface produces more visual variation than a flat painted sheet.
- Exact coverage and accessory quantities can be estimated from the identified panel dimensions.
- Manufacturer-specific installation documents can be tied to the order where available.
Installation and system control
Use the exact manufacturer's installation guide for minimum roof pitch, batten spacing, overlap, fastener type and fastener position. Do not transfer details from another stone-coated brand simply because the panels look similar.
Use the specified accessories at ridges, hips, valleys, verges and wall junctions; improvised details are a common source of leakage even when the field tiles are sound.
Protect the textured finish during storage, cutting and foot traffic. If access on the completed roof is required, follow the manufacturer’s walking guidance.
Before installation, reconcile the delivered profile, colour, quantities and accessories with the approved quotation and retain the applicable technical/warranty documents.
Required accessories
Prepare a complete accessory schedule: ridges, valleys, barges, apron/sidewall flashings, closures, fasteners, gutters, rainwater collectors and repair materials as applicable.
