We dispel myths and resolve dilemmas about roofing. We convince with facts.

ICOTILE

‍ 1. Is metal roofing really not suitable for traditional and rural buildings?

In the time of our ancestors, the choice of roofing was always based on materials from the local environment. Traditional buildings have therefore acquired a characteristic appearance, which modern technology does not want to supplant. More. The IKOTILE line of roof coverings is precisely designed to imitate natural materials such as stone, while offering many additional advantages associated with the use of metal materials.

‍ 2. A classic is just a classic! Or really?

If we are used to a classic brick roof, it does not mean that it offers better protection to our home. Premium metal roof tile with IKOtile Bond 7 sprinkling is designed in the shape of a classic beaver and looks to satisfy lovers of "classics". But unlike a brick roof, this guarantees a much longer life and protection against extreme weather conditions with strong wind and hail and up to a full 50-year warranty.

3. Does metal really struggle with aging?

In the past, metal roofing faced many challenges, most of which were the result of technological incompleteness. Metal was often used to cover buildings, which did not have good enough anti-corrosion protection and high-quality additional layers that would give the roof better technical and aesthetic properties. (Metrapan can boast of as much as 39 years of experience in the field of metal roofing), IKOtile, with its over 20 years of experience, has developed the exceptional quality and technological sophistication of its products, and has thus managed to extend their lifetime to an exceptional extent. Today, the special zinc-aluminium protection against corrosion provides the highest quality sheet metal protection on the pressed roofing market. In combination with sprinkles and/or additional coatings developed for the automotive industry, in addition to protection, it further reduces roof noise.

4. Are local materials really the best for roofing?

In the past, brick or concrete, sometimes also stone, wood or straw, were most often used for roofing. For the most part, it was a material that was readily available in the local environment, with the use of metal being limited by the difficulty of supply, as well as the unfinished technology. The modern technology of using metal roof tiles has advanced tremendously since then. The inspiration for the premium modern IKOtile Viksen sprinkled metal roof tile can thus be found in a unique ancient style where smaller shingles were used on homes and other buildings made entirely of wood. The traditional appearance is complemented by the properties of the roof tile, which can only be attributed to metal.

5. Can metal roof tiles offer color variety?

Modern trends in architecture often dictate clean lines, color matches and aesthetic perfection. Premium metal roof tiles with IKOtile IPanel coating excel in all three cases, while also offering excellent protection and durability. With its vertical grooves, the iPanel gives your house extra geometric precision and a modern look. With a range of different shapes and colors, they offer the customer an extremely wide choice.

FIGO AMADE

1. Is metal really heavy?

Metal as a material really belongs to the heavier ones. But due to its thinness, metal roofing is the lightest type of roofing. As a "lightweight" FIGO AMADE roof panel, with only 6.85 kg per square meter, is one of the lighter materials for a roof, but it defies even strong weather conditions. The great advantage is particularly noticeable in renovations, where it is often necessary to statically improve the existing roof with demanding and expensive reinforcements.

2. Does moisture really stay under the metal roof?

Condensation is a phenomenon that you will encounter with all coverings - without exception. With a high-quality execution of the roofing and ventilation of the building, there is practically no difference between classic roofing and metal roofing. When building a roof, we must therefore carefully plan the ventilation space, vapor-permeable film, thermal insulation and vapor barrier. Therefore, the entire planning of the roof and building is more important than the choice of roofing material for the "problem" of condensation. When it comes to planning the prestigious and aesthetically perfect FIGO AMADE roof, we are at your disposal with extensive experience. High-quality and first-class roofing will be just the finishing touch to a carefully planned and comprehensively designed modern roof.

3. Is it strong enough, safe and weatherproof?

The advantages of metal roofing are precisely their high resistance to strong wind, hail, snow, ice and durability. Due to the increasingly frequent climatic difficulties, the aspect of safety is also extremely important. In case of strong winds, it is important that the roof covering is well fixed. Every sheet metal roof is mechanically attached, which is not always the case with other roofs. FIGO Amade metal roofing is tested in wind tunnels for the worst weather loads and also has the highest possible certificate of durability against hail.

4. Can it satisfy the most demanding customer and the strictest aesthetic eye?

First, let's dispel the myth that metal is only suitable for industrial buildings. The modern and sophisticated FIGO AMADE line is perfect for roofs and facades of both residential and commercial buildings.

5. Does metal really give objects a cold look?

Metal as a material basically gives a cool look, and with modern technology, we managed to infuse various colors into metal roof tiles and panels.
