LIGHTWEIGHT ADVANTAGES
At only 7kg/m2 Gerard Roong Tiles make up one of the lightest
roofs available. Less weight on the roof means less stress on the substructure. In many cases substantial savings can be made as there is
no need for expensive reinforcing of the sub-structure. Being light
in weight, Gerard Roong Tiles are easily handled, and installation
is completed in a short time.

Concrete Tiles

Gerard Roong Systems

Concrete roof tiles weigh more than 6 times an equivalent Gerard

roof area. This means substantial savings can be achieved in substructural costs. Having less weight over your head is also a very
important consideration in earthquake prone areas.
