Types and advantages of metal tiles Grand Line

The Metalist plant, which houses the main production of the Grand Line brand, is located in the Kaluga Region, in Obninsk. The company uses imported high quality raw materials and modern European equipment, which is upgraded every few years. Automation of all production processes and a multistage control system used at the factory allow us to achieve high quality of manufactured metal tiles.

The tile of Grand Line consists of several layers.

• Galvanized steel is used as a base.
• It is covered with a passive layer that protects the surface from oxidation. The layer of zinc, which is used to treat steel, is thicker compared to similar variants of coatings, its density is about 270 g / m2.
• Then the tile is grounded in order to better paint the surface.
• Next, it is covered with a layer of polymer dye, which gives the material a finished look.
• At the final stage, the profile is made with colorless varnish.

The main feature of the metal Grand Line is the presence of a special capillary trough, which prevents the ingress of moisture into the room.

For high-quality installation of a covering it is necessary to get dobor - additional elements due to which the design will get a complete look. In addition to performing the aesthetic function, they serve as an obstacle to the ingestion of dust, tree leaves and natural sediments.

The tile of Grand Line possesses a set of positive qualities, we will consider them.

• Durability. The thickness of the metal Grand Line is 5 mm, which is 25% more than that of similar roofing from other companies.
• Corrosion Resistance. The density of the zinc layer in the coating is about 270 g / m2, which reduces the likelihood of corrosive processes to zero.
• A variety of colors and textures. The manufacturer offers a large number of different shades of tiles for every taste.
• Wide range of prices. The range of the company includes several series of metal tiles of different quality, purpose and cost, which allows the plant to have a large consumer audience with different incomes.

• Quality control. At all stages of production, mandatory quality control of raw materials is carried out, as well as compliance with all technological standards and processes.
• Installation availability. The length of the sheet metal of the Grand Line can be from 50 cm to 6 m. This circumstance not only greatly facilitates installation, but also allows you to save money: there is almost no waste with proper calculation and proper installation. A detailed instruction, necessarily attached to each purchase, allows you to mount coverage, even in the absence of building skills.
• A high degree of adhesion sheets to each other. At the same time, the joints are visually practically imperceptible, which creates the effect of a single web.

The disadvantages of the metal Grand Line, as well as any of its analogues, can be attributed to several factors.

• Lack of sound insulation. Raindrops, hail, rockfall and other natural manifestations create unpleasant sounds. To avoid this, it is necessary to lay an additional soundproofing layer under the roof.
• Possible additional costs. They may occur when installing the roof of complex shape. Despite the fact that the company produces sheets of different lengths, you may need to fit in size. This means that it is necessary to take the material with a reserve, which, in turn, leads to an increase in the final price tag by 10-30%.
• Instability to chemical reagents and mechanical stress. In order to seal the resulting chips or scratches, ordinary paint will not work. You must use special materials and preferably the same company. In addition, chemicals with acid content and hard objects should not be used for cleaning and cleaning. This can damage the top layer and, as a result, lead to corrosion.

By production of a metal tile of Grand Line several types of coverings are used.

This polymer gives a glossy surface and is characterized by excellent quality.It is applied to the sheet on both sides with a layer of 20-27 microns. With a relatively low price, it has a warranty period of up to 10 years.

More durable than the usual analog, its thickness is 35 microns. In addition, this type of polymer has a matte surface, resistant to fading, and its service life is two times longer than that of the previous polymer.

it is applied with a layer up to 50 microns and belongs to the premium category. The coating is not afraid of either frost or active sun, which allows it to be used throughout Russia in regions with different climatic conditions. Color retains brightness even with prolonged exposure to sunlight. The warranty on this type of coating is about 30 years.

Based on these materials, coatings are further divided into several categories.

This group is classified as an economy because of a small layer of zinc. The protective layer is 25-50 microns.

It has several coating options:

• Pural Matt. Basis - polyurethane.
• Polydexter. The base is polyester with polyamide granules to add extra strength.

Materials of this group are included in the average price category.They are 25 microns thick and have a 20 year warranty.

Consider the types of coatings:

• Drap. The surface is matte, the base is matte embossed polyester.
• Satin. The surface is glossy, the base is polyester.

The base is polyester. Thickness of a protective layer is 30 microns. The main differences - drawing with a natural theme (imitation of wood, stone)

1. Safari. Unique camouflage color.
2. Colority Print. Use of several shades at once when coloring for the purpose of receiving a decorative surface.
3. ColorityPrint double. Two-sided polyester-based coating with a wood pattern.

4. "Atlas": the base is polyester with a metallic Galfan coating. Has bilateral coloring on the Twin Color technology.

As noted above, the Grand Line's color palette is quite extensive. In the product range there are about 50 different shades of various colors.Each type of tile covering has its own color marking.

Shades of coating have a special marking: the number and abbreviation RAL after the numerical designation. So, blue has the first two numbers 5 and 0, red - 3 and 0, etc. For example, blue water - 5021 RAL, red wine - 3005 RAL.

The colors of this series are close to natural and sound very beautiful: green moss; oxide red, chocolate.

The names of this series are consonant with the previous one, only their list is more diverse. The shades of red alone are of several types: from ordinary scarlet to wine and terracotta. In addition, there are several shades of green, brown, and gray and other colors.

Here, in addition to the traditionally dark terracotta and rich green, white suddenly turns on. He looks very elegant.

Here is an incomplete list of color names in this series:

• burano;
• chocolate brown;
• green juniper;
• gray merlin;

In this series, there are several shades of oak: the lightest - bleached, then incrementally - gold and antique. The latter has some similarities with the Brazilian cherry. You can also choose shades of gray stone and sandstone. It looks very nice color Corten - something between steel and wood.

Shades of Safari cover resemble children's mosaic. Here and the spring sky, and the first greens, and the grayness of road dust. Orange and pink colors look very positive.

If you have basic skills in building tools and accurate compliance with the attached instructions, the roof of metal can be laid in a few days. However, in order to correctly calculate the required volume, it is better to call a specialist - some stores provide such services.

All elements of the roofing stack to the crate with a small overlay on each other. Each sheet is immediately fixed with self-tapping screws from the same galvanized steel as the tile itself and, for tightness, compacted with rubber gaskets. If the cover has an ornament, then it should be laid out in one line. If necessary, use fragments with different lengths. When laying from the edge, approximately 4 cm from the eaves should be made.

For these purposes, you should use a seal that protects the room from ingress of street dust and moisture. It fits between the top line of the roof and the main sheets. Chips and scratches can be painted over with a special spray paint.

The metal tile of the Grand Line brand practically has no complaints from buyers. Feedback on this product is mostly positive. There are only a few points that are indicated by some owners of houses with a roof made of this tile. For example, some people complain that raindrops are knocking too loudly. To avoid this trouble, it is necessary to lay soundproofing material at the installation stage, which will also provide waterproofing.
