Simulated Tile Metal Roofing Designed For Performance, Consistency And Architectural Appeal
Berridge Manufacturing’s S-Tile metal roofing tiles deliver the classic look of traditional S-profile tile with the performance advantages of engineered metal panels. Designed for architectural consistency and long-term reliability, S-Tile provides a durable simulated tile solution for commercial, residential and restoration-focused projects where appearance and performance both matter.
What Are S-Tile Metal Roofing Tiles?
S-Tile is a simulated tile metal roofing system that recreates the appearance of traditional S-profile tile using roll-formed steel panels. It combines the visual depth of tile roofing with reduced weight, long panel lengths and tested performance ratings.
S-Tile panels are manufactured from steel and formed to create a scalloped tile profile that maintains uniform spacing and alignment across the roof surface. As part of Berridge’s Simulated Tile Systems, S-Tile is designed to meet architectural intent without the limitations of brittle, heavy materials.
Common Applications For S-Tile Roofing
S-Tile is commonly specified for projects that require traditional tile aesthetics without the structural load of clay or concrete.
Typical applications include:
- Commercial buildings
- High-end residential projects
- Multi-family developments
- Restoration and historically inspired designs
The system’s consistent profile and engineered performance make it suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications.
How S-Tile Compares To Traditional Clay And Concrete Tile
Traditional tile roofing delivers visual appeal but often introduces structural, logistical and long-term maintenance challenges. S-Tile addresses those limitations while preserving the familiar tile look.
Compared to clay or concrete tile, S-Tile offers:
- Significantly lower weight at just over 1 lb per square foot
- Reduced structural demands on framing and decking
- Uniform appearance without cracked, shifted or mismatched tiles
- Predictable long-term performance without brittle failure
The result is a tile-inspired roof system that balances aesthetics with reliability and efficiency.
Panel Design, Dimensions And Visual Profile
S-Tile panels are engineered for visual consistency across large roof areas while maintaining architectural detail.
Key panel characteristics include:
- Coverage width of 32 11/16 inches
- Step length of 14 inches
- Tile height of 1½ inches
- Continuous panel lengths up to 40 feet
The scalloped S-tile profile creates depth and shadow lines similar to traditional tile, while continuous panel lengths reduce visual interruptions and alignment issues.
Material Construction And Coating Technology
S-Tile panels are roll-formed from 24-gauge steel, providing strength and dimensional stability across varying environmental conditions.
Berridge’s continuous coil coating process ensures:
- Consistent color and finish quality
- Uniform coating thickness
- Long-term resistance to weathering
This manufacturing approach minimizes on-site variation and supports a clean, consistent appearance across the finished roof system.
Available Colors And Finish Options
S-Tile is available in more than 34 color options, including standard, metallic and premium finishes. This range allows designers and specifiers to align roofing appearance with broader architectural palettes while maintaining consistency across large roof planes.
Color availability supports both traditional and contemporary design intent without sacrificing durability or finish performance.
Wind, Fire And Code Performance Ratings
S-Tile is engineered and tested to meet recognized performance standards.
The system features:
- UL 790 Class A fire rating
- ASTM E-1592 wind uplift testing
- Florida Product Approvals
- Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance availability
- Texas Department of Insurance listings
These ratings provide documented performance data for code compliance and specification confidence across a wide range of project types.
Installation And System Efficiency Considerations
S-Tile panels are roll-formed in continuous lengths to reduce endlaps and simplify layout while maintaining consistent appearance.
System efficiency considerations include:
- Panel lengths up to 40 feet to minimize transitions
- Approximately 60 fasteners per square
- Reduced material handling compared to individual tiles
- Compatibility with closures, drip flashings and channel trims
These characteristics support predictable installation outcomes and consistent roof geometry.
Integration With Berridge Simulated Tile Systems
S-Tile is part of Berridge Manufacturing’s broader Simulated Tile Systems portfolio. The system can be coordinated with accessory tiles for hips and ridges, as well as integrated with other architectural metal products to maintain continuity across roof and building envelope designs.
