What You Need to Know About the Stone-Coated Roofing?

While stone-coated roofing is known for its durability and elegant tile-like appearance, one uncommon fact is that it combines aesthetic appeal with volcanic stone granules—a naturally UV-reflective material that enhances insulation and color retention.

Unlike standard metal roofs that can amplify rain noise, stone-coated panels absorb sound, making them much quieter during storms. It’s also surprisingly lightweight despite its layered composition, reducing the need for heavy structural support.

Though less common in rural or low-cost builds due to its premium price, it’s highly valued in typhoon-prone and coastal areas because of its wind resistance (up to 150–200 kph) and corrosion protection. Plus, many types come with a 50-year transferable warranty, which is rare among roofing materials.
