For hill‑station resorts or cyclone‑prone coasts, metal roof shingles bring seismic resilience and half‑century longevity.

Anatomy of a Tapco Metal Shingle

1. Galvalume Steel Core – 0.45 mm gauge for flexural rigidity.

2. Acrylic Primer – Promotes stone grip.

3. Volcanic Stone Granules – Provide color‑fast texture.

4. Clear Over‑Glaze – Locks granules and seals pores.

Core Benefits

• Lightweight: 6.75 kg/m² cuts rafter size.

• Hail Resistance: UL 2218 Class 4 rating.

• Cool Roof: High reflectance reduces HVAC load.

Installation uses interlocking side flanges hiding fasteners; slopes as low as 18° qualify.
