Painted Metal Roof – Roman

Novatik Metal Roman recreates the warm, curved silhouette of a classic Mediterranean roof in lightweight pre-painted modular steel with a smooth matte finish. With its fluid shapes and broad curves, it delivers the authentic terracotta-tile look of southern architecture at a lighter weight and lower cost than clay tile, making it a practical choice for both new roofs and renovations.

Why Choose Metal Roman

The Metal Roman profile suits Mediterranean, Spanish, and coastal home styles where flowing, curved tile lines define the look. Its modern matte finish gives a clean take on the traditional barrel-tile silhouette, while the lightweight steel panels fasten quickly with nails or screws and reduce structural load. If you want the Mediterranean character in a cost-effective painted steel tile, Metal Roman is the right fit.

Built for Florida and Texas Weather

Metal Roman is engineered to perform in the demanding climates of Florida and Texas. Designed to withstand hurricane-force winds, intense heat, heavy rain, hail, and year-round UV exposure, the system provides reliable protection in a wide range of weather conditions. The Zn 275 g/m² anti-corrosion coating helps protect the steel core from moisture and humidity, making it well suited for coastal and high-humidity environments. Its durable construction helps maintain long-term structural performance, weather resistance, and appearance, whether installed on a new home, renovation project, or light commercial building.

Painted Steel Construction

Each Metal Roman tile is pressed from pre-painted 0.5 mm steel with a multi-layer build: a Polyester Mat finish on the front, a primer, Zn anti-corrosion layers on both sides of the steel core, and a polyester lacquer on the back. The result is excellent corrosion resistance and lasting color, in a lightweight, 100% recyclable panel. For full layer composition, dimensions, and installation specifications, see the Metal Roman technical documentation (PDF).

Six Colors

Metal Roman is available in six colors — Brick, Brown, Dark Brown, Red, Grey, and Black — from warm terracotta and earthy browns to deep neutral tones, to match Mediterranean facade and modern exteriors alike.

Industry-Leading Warranty

Metal Roman is backed by a 30-year technical warranty and a 20-year aesthetic warranty, giving long-term confidence in both the structure and the painted finish of your roof. Explore our savings calculator to compare the long-term value of metal roofing against traditional materials.
