Lightweight roofing with the look of traditional tile roofs.
Qtiles (Tile-Effect) Roofing Sheets
Qtiles Roofing Sheets, also known as Tile Effect Roofing Sheets, offer a unique, environmentally friendly and modern alternative roofing solution with a “tile roof” finish. Many people choose Qtiles because of their tile shape, similar to concrete tiles.
Budget Wise

Qtiles can be nearly as costly as Milano Tiles.
-
The cost is higher because surplus sheets can’t be reused or fitted elsewhere, unlike IBR sheets.
-
Uses the same amount of timber as other lightweight materials, with costly purchase and labor costs similar to IBR.
Durability
-
The lifespan of Qtiles roof sheeting varies depending on factors like material quality, installation, and maintenance.
-
Generally, Qtiles in Zimbabwe can last anywhere between 20 to 30 years, similar to IBR, depending on the thickness of course.
Balancing low cost with performance, noise and maintenance.
