Metal tile is the most popular roofing material for private homes in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. It combines an attractive appearance, affordable price, and ease of installation. The Foreest team installs metal tiles following the manufacturer's technology — without sheet deformation, with proper overlap and junction sealing.
Advantages of Metal Tiles
- Service life. Quality coating lasts 30–50 years without major repairs.
- Lightweight. Weight of 4–6 kg/m² allows the use of a lightweight frame.
- Fast installation. Large sheet sizes (up to 6–7 m) reduce installation time.
- Variety of profiles and colors. Suitable for any architectural style.
- Fire resistance. Metal does not support combustion.
Installation Technology
1. Substrate Check
We check the evenness of the sheathing, absence of knots at sheet level, and correct spacing.
2. Waterproofing and Ventilation
We install a superdiffusive membrane with a 30–50 mm gap for air circulation.
3. Sheet Laying
We work from bottom to top, from eaves to ridge. Overlap is 150–250 mm depending on roof pitch. Secured with screws and sealing washers in the "wave" (not the crest).
4. Strip Installation
Eaves strip — protects the eaves overhang. End (gable) strip — seals the edges. Valley — at internal intersections. Ridge — at the top edge. Junctions with walls and chimneys are sealed with special strips and sealant.
5. Snow Guard Installation
Placed 0.5–0.7 m from the eaves at 0.8–1 m intervals for even snow load distribution.
Types of Metal Tiles We Work With
- Classic wave (MONTERREY)
- Modular metal tile
- Composite metal tile
- With polymer coating (polyester, matte polyester, pural)

FAQ
What is the minimum roof pitch for metal tiles?
Recommended pitch — from 14°. For lower pitches, we increase the overlap and additionally seal the joints.
Are counter-battens needed under metal tiles?
Yes, counter-battens (30×50 mm battens) create a ventilation gap. This prevents condensation and extends the coating's service life.
How long do metal tiles last?
Polyester — 20–30 years, pural and PVDF — 40–50 years.
