Why Choose Brown Roof Tiles for Your Home?

Brown roof tiles for residential projects are a popular choice among homeowners and architects. Brown is a colour rooted in nature, that provides warmth with its timeless, natural feel that suits any aesthetic..

Brown tiled roof designs work especially well with:

• Traditional brick or stone homes in rural or suburban areas.
• Lighter shades such as whites and beiges that provide strong contrast.
• Timber-clad or oak-frame builds for a rustic aesthetic.
• Countryside surroundings where woodland tones blend with the environment.

The colour brown evokes stability, comfort, and reliability; qualities that every home aspires to reflect. A brown roof tile can enhance your property’s kerb appeal by adding a warm, grounded finish that integrates seamlessly with its environment.

Each of Metrotile’s brown roofing tiles has been crafted to offer its own personality, allowing you to choose the right tone, texture and profile to suit any pitched roofing project.

1. Burnt Umber – The Rustic Best-Seller

Our most popular colour after the traditional Charcoal Grey. Available in the Shingle and iPanel ranges, this finish offers warmth and depth with the contrast of brown and black stripes, that stands out perfectly to elevate the appearance of any roof.

2. Iron Bark – Deep and Textured

Iron Bark captures the essence of aged wood, with a warm, dark tone that feels natural and enduring due to the blend of brown, black and red natural stone. Available in both Shingle and iPanel profiles.

3. Bister Brown – Soft and Balanced

Also part of the Shingle and iPanel range, Bister Brown offers a softer, medium-toned brown that’s universally appealing. It’s the ideal colour choice for homeowners who want a neutral, natural tone that complements both traditional and modern façades.

4. Bronze – Warm and Refined

Bronze brings a subtle metallic sheen that adds sophistication without overpowering. Available across many Metrotile profiles, it offers a timeless appearance that provides warmth and class to any roof.

Matt Brown is a sleek, powder-coated finish exclusive to the Qube profile. It’s designed for modern architecture and modular housing, offering a clean, contemporary look that balances nature with minimalism.

Exclusive to the Woodshake profile, Pepper combines brown and grey tones to emulate the natural weathering of timber shingles. It’s ideal for homes that want a more natural, hand-crafted appearance with the benefits of modern steel roofing.
