The metal tile Grand Line is one of the most popular roofing materials of its class in Russia. In this article you will learn about the features of this tile, about the types produced and their characteristics, about the prices for this type of tile and its components.
Features of the Grand Line metal tile
The Grand Line specialists use the most Perfect steel grades that have an excellent balance between strength and ductility. Multi-layer coating consisting of galvanized, primer and polymer helps to protect the base layer of steel from corrosion, thereby extending the life of the roof to 50 years.
The Grand Line metal tile is produced in 6 profile variants with 13 decorative coating options. Each covering has a wide choice of color, some coverings have natural drawing of a tree, slate, a stone.
Types of profiles: features and specifications
Due to the physical properties of the metal, sheets of metal Grand Line can be given a different shape - profile picture. In addition to the aesthetic characteristics, a different method of metal-roll when forming a profile has its own technical features.
Classic Profile
It is a lightweight metal analog of the classic ceramic tile. This look has a beautiful and aesthetic appearance, made in the Scandinavian style. Fits perfectly into the natural landscape and has a wide selection of colors.
The Classic Plus profile has the same geometric shape as the Classic, but with an increased step height of 1.5 times, which gives a more massive appearance of the roof.
Profile Kvinta Plus
It is characterized by the presence of a groove on the ridge, which gives it an additional strength. It has the largest working sheet width, due to which it is an economically more profitable option.
There is a modular version of Kvinta Uno for covering small areas or covering complex roofs. It has the same geometry and properties as the multi-module version. The presence of a modular version allows you to reduce waste in the presence of only long sheets of tile. Convenient for transportability in a passenger car, easy to install in one hand.
Kredo profile
Made in Mediterranean style, has a wavy geometry with equal external and internal deflections. It features a large pattern (225 mm between the centers of the tiles). Created specifically for slopes up to 6.5 m.
Quadro Profi Profile
It has a strict geometry, where the crest rests on the base, and the pattern is created thanks to rectangular segments. This type is the result of the search for the most durable and reliable metal, emphasizes the appearance of the structure and differs markedly from the classic wavy shape. The material has an increased resistance to stress (snow, ice formation) and resistance to fading.

Kamea Profile
It originates from antiquity, the geometry of the pattern is very close to the ceramic tile. It is a premium class and emphasizes the sophisticated style of its owner. The quality of performance is not inferior to other types of profile, it is made from high-quality steel on European equipment.
A general set of technical characteristics by profile types is given in the summary table.
| Profile view | Classic | Kvinta plus | Kvinta Uno | Kredo | Quadro profi | Kamea |
| Total width, mm | 1183 | 1210 | 1210 | 1190 | 1159 | 1180 |

| Maximum width, m | 6.5 | 6.5 | 0.715 | 6.5 | 8 | 6.5 |
* - step height for Classic plus.
The step size for all types of profiles is 350 mm.
Types of coatings: purpose and service life
The profile geometry serves primarily an aesthetic function, the service life of any profile is determined by a multi-layer protective coating.
The cut of the Grand Line coated roof is a sandwich, the basis of which is a sheet of low-alloyed or non-alloyed steel of S250GD, S280GD grades. Steel is covered with protective layers of zinc or aluzinc. Next comes the passivation layer with the ground. To protect the metal from contact with water, a layer of polymer coating is applied to the primer using polyurethane, polyester, polyamide. From the outside, the polymer layer is covered with a protective varnish.
Depending on the protective layer used and its thickness, color palette, warranty period, coating types can be divided into several groups: Premium, Design, Standart +, Optima.
Premium
This category includes 4 types of coatings: Quarzit, Quarzit lite, Velur and Atlas. The unifying factors are as follows:
-
Premium line coatings are applied on steel with a thickness of 0.5 mm. This thickness is the maximum for the Grand Line roof, having a polymer layer.
-
Belgian steel is protected by a zinc-aluminum (ZA) alloy, Galfan coating, with a protective coating layer of 265 g / m². Only Premium Coating uses this protective material
-
The corrosion resistance warranty begins up to 25 years. For quarzit to 50 years.
-
The reverse side of the steel sheet is also protected using TwinColor technology.
Quarzit is the most durable coating of the Grand Line presented by the firm and the second in cost, for each type of profile. The thickness of the organic layer is 55 microns, has a maximum resistance to UV radiation RUV 4.
On our site you can find contacts of construction companies that offer the service of repair and insulation of the roof. Directly to communicate with representatives, you can visit the exhibition of houses "Low-rise Country".
Quarzit lite is a simplified version of Quarzit. The thickness of the organic layer is 25 µm, and its UV resistance is RUV 3. Both of the above coatings have the same set of color palettes.
When creating Velur coating, textured polyester is used, which gives the roof an individual, refined style. The color palette is represented by a large selection of shades.
Atlas is the most budgetary option in the premium segment, but is superior in coverage to the lower class.
Comparative characteristics of the Premium line are shown in the table
| Name | Quarzit | Quarzit lite | Velur | Atlas |
| The thickness of the polymer layer, mcm | 55 | 25 | 35 | 25 |
| UV resistance | RUV 4 | RUV 4 | RUV 4 | RUV 4 |
| Coating strength at back kick (J) | 18 | 18 | 18 | 10 |

Installation accessories
Sheets of metal tile are the basis of the roof, but without finishing There are no elements in any sheets. Additional elements are additional parts, some of which perform the function of joining the roof sheets at the places of contact between the sheets at an angle, the other part allows guiding the drains into the previously provided drainage, prevents moisture and birds from entering under the roof.
The simplest example is a single-pitch roof, where only the end plate, the curtain rail and the adjacent rail, hooks for the gutters and the gutters themselves will be of the additional parts.
For a gable roof, a spinal bar is added (a bar covering the junction of two ramps), and if there are three or more ramps, there are tees and endovas on sale. It is recommended to use a ventilation tape to prevent birds from getting under the tiles.
For installation of metal tile eaves, see the following video:
