Villatile Overview
Britmet’s Villatile is a lightweight, granulated metal tile, designed to give the appearance of a traditional double roman concrete tile.
This attractive design has been made from the highest quality Aluzinc steel to give an unsurpassed weather resistance. A unique 3-layer granule coating is applied to the external surface, offering impassive looks and ground-breaking weatherproof capabilities.
Britmet’s Villatile is available in 6 colours and a choice of two thicknesses (0.45mm as standard and a 0.9mm thickness for light foot-traffic and vandal areas). This tile offers a faster installation time as only 2.2 tiles are required per sqm. Pitches as low as 10° can be achieved, backed by a BBA approved 40-year weather penetration guarantee.
