When we think about making a building safe and secure, the first things we think about are the doors and windows – the obvious points of entry. But we should have learnt by now that a determined criminal is more than willing to think outside the box and find more inventive ways of entering your property. Traditional roofs can be one such weak point that criminals can take advantage of.

To combat this we created Metrotile 900 for when you require the highest security for your property. It is used is in Prisons, warehouses, schools, sheltered accommodation and retail outlets – anywhere that has an increased chance of breaking and entering. Or for your home, our standard thickness Metrotile 450 has been designed to be highly resistant to breaking and entering to give you extra peace of mind.

Anti-Vandalism

You only have to look up at your slate roof after a very windy day to know how easy it is to remove a slate tile. Metrotiles on the other hand are installed using Metrotile Secure one way screw fittings, making it near impossible to remove by hand. It is so secure that it can be comfortably walked across without loosening a single fixture.

Batter Resistant

Metrotile 900 is pressed from high grade aluzinc coated steel at double the thickness to our everyday Metrotile 450. This unparalleled strength makes it extremely resistant to brute force, so no matter how determined the assailant, their efforts will be fruitless. To make extra sure of this, steel straps can be fixed between the battens, which completely close off potential access points and can be made further impenetrable by the addition of a security mesh.

Extreme Weather Protection

An additional benefit of all Metrotile products is that they don’t just keep out criminals but the elements too! They have been tested under the most extreme weather conditions from bush fires in California to cyclones in Japan so you can be sure that your roof can handle anything that’s thrown at it!

Tough and beautiful!

Metrotile 900 comes in two styles: Metrotile Bond, which emulates a traditional pantile clay tile, or Metrotile Slate. Both styles come in a variety of colours so you can get the aesthetic you want without compromising on security.

One of our Happy Customers: Fairford School

They had a number of requirements for their roofing, with the prevention of vandalism at the top of the list. This is a common concern for all schools and something that we could easily take of by using Metrotile 900. The resistance to foot traffic was also a key factor to enable future tradesmen to go about additional work on the school and the virtually zero maintenance of the tiles would make life a lot easier for them. They also had certain planning constraints due to their rural location, but using Metrotile Slate allowed the building to blend in beautifully with the environment.
