Our Step tiles (often referred to as Steptile or Longspan Step Tile) are a premium roofing solution designed to give your building the elegant, traditional look of clay tiles with the modern durability of metal.

Instead of a flat or wavy profile, these sheets are pressed to create a series of horizontal "steps," mimicking the overlapping pattern of individual roof shingles.

Key Features of Step Tile Roofing

• 
  

  The "Luxury" Look: It provides a sophisticated, Mediterranean-style aesthetic that significantly boosts the "curb appeal" and market value of any home.

  
  


• 
  

  Lightweight Construction: Although it looks heavy and solid like concrete, it is made from lightweight aluminum or Aluzinc. This puts much less stress on the building's foundation and timber structure.

  
  


• 
  

  Interlocking Design: The steps are not just for looks; they create an interlocking barrier that makes the roof exceptionally wind-resistant and virtually leak-proof.

  
  


• 
  

  Long-Lasting Colors: Most step tiles come with high-quality, oven-baked paint finishes (like PPGI) that resist fading and peeling even under harsh tropical sun.

  
  

Why Should People Buy Step Tiles?

1. Lower Installation Costs Unlike individual clay tiles that must be laid one by one (which is slow and expensive), step tiles come in long, continuous sheets. This makes installation much faster, reducing the amount you spend on labor.

2. Superior Water Management The "stepped" profile acts as a natural break for rainwater, slowing down the flow and directing it safely into gutters. It is highly effective in heavy rain areas where standard roofs might struggle with "splashback."

3. Energy Efficiency Because of the way step tiles are shaped, they create small air pockets between the metal and the roof deck. This acts as a layer of insulation, keeping the house cooler during the day and warmer at night, which can lower electricity bills.

4. Durability & Safety

• 
  

  Fire Resistant: Being metal, it is non-combustible.

  
  


• 
  

  Rust Resistant: Especially when ordered in Aluminum or high-grade Aluzinc, it can last decades without corroding.

  
  


• 
  

  Low Maintenance: It doesn't grow moss or algae like traditional stone tiles, meaning it stays looking new for much longer with zero effort.
