Plaintile Overview
Britmet Lightweight Roofing’s Plaintile system is the world’s only true broken bond Plaintile lightweight roofing system. The only tile to give a true characteristic of a traditional Plaintile, providing an attractive and economic finish for all roof styles, even for vertical cladding.
Britmet’s Plaintile system can be fixed down to a 15° roof pitch and is highly effective at reducing installation time as it’s 7 traditional tiles wide and on tile high. This means that only 5 Plaintile panels are required per sqm. This is a huge difference in comparison to traditional plain tiles which required 60 tiles per sqm.
Available in 6 colours and weighing 1/7th the weight of traditional tiles, the Britmet Plaintile is manufactured in Britain from the highest-grade Aluzinc Steel and coated with the most superior external coating on the market for effortless weather protection.
