When it comes to making a home stand out while blending beautifully with its surroundings, green roof tiles offer something truly unique. Once a popular choice for countryside cottages and eco-conscious builds, green roofing has seen a quiet resurgence across the UK, particularly among homeowners looking for a roof that complements nature rather than contrasts it.
At Metrotile, we offer one distinctive and timeless shade in our green range:
Forest Green – a deep, natural green tone with a rugged stone-coated finish that captures the organic charm of traditional roofing materials.
Available across our Bond (standard gauge and .9 thickness), Shingle, and Woodshake profiles, Metrotile’s Forest Green roof tiles bring a rare balance of character, durability, and practicality; ideal for any pitched roofing project, residential or commercial.
Green roof tiles create a striking visual statement while maintaining a natural, harmonious look, making them perfect for homes that sit within leafy suburbs, woodland backdrops, or countryside landscapes.
Forest Green tiles in particular evoke feelings of calm and connection to nature, pairing especially well with:
Beyond aesthetics, green roof tiles are often chosen for their subtle ability to “settle in” with their environment, softening the appearance of a new build and reducing visual impact in conservation areas or scenic rural locations.
Metrotile’s Forest Green roof tile is more than just a colour choice, it’s a finish designed to last. Each tile is manufactured from high-grade, pressed steel, finished with natural stone granules for texture and colour depth, and coated with multiple protective layers for long-term performance.
This classic, natural green brings the earthy richness of traditional clay or slate roofing, but with the modern benefits of a lightweight steel system.
Available in:
As with every Metrotile product, our Forest Green tiles combine authentic looks with exceptional performance. Each tile is engineered from steel that’s just 1/7th the weight of traditional concrete or clay tiles — meaning faster installation, less structural strain, and reduced costs on site.
All Metrotile green roof tiles are:
So, whether you’re roofing a garden building, a rural property, or a larger scale specification project, you’ll get the strength of steel with the beauty of a natural, textured green finish.
Traditional clay or slate roof tiles can cost between £20–£35 per m² for materials alone, with green felt shingles coming in at around £30-£45 per m², not including the additional weight and installation requirements. When looking for a green coloured roof tile, many traditional materials cannot naturally replicate this colour; this is where Metrotile benefits with its natural stone chip finish to the tiles, offering a green tile by name and nature!
Metrotile’s lightweight metal green roof tiles offer a cost-effective alternative, with reduced transport, labour, and structural costs. Prices vary depending on the profile and project size, but the colour you choose won’t affect the cost — meaning Forest Green is available at the same price as our red, grey, or brown options.
Looking for a tailored price? Our team can provide a quick, no-obligation quotation based on your roof size and chosen profile.

Whether you’re replacing an older roof or specifying materials for a new rural development, Metrotile Forest Green matches natural aesthetics with effortless installation for peace of mind that’s guaranteed for decades.
