What Is Stone-Coated Steel?

Tile Looks. Steel Strength. 50+ Year Life.

A Tefute roof starts with a structural steel core, then layers on natural stone granules bonded with an acrylic finish. The result: a roof that looks like high-end clay tile, Mediterranean barrel, or cedar shake — but performs like armor.

Traditional roofs force a trade-off — asphalt is cheap but wears out in 15–20 years, and clay tile is beautiful but heavy and cracks under hail. Tefute stone-coated steel gives you the look you want and the protection Florida demands, in a panel that weighs a fraction of tile and is built to last 50 to 70 years. Founded in 2005, Tefute is ISO 9001 certified and carries ICC-ES, UL 2218 Class 4 impact, and Class A fire ratings.

Why It's the Best Metal Option

Tefute vs. Everything Else

When you compare it head-to-head against the alternatives, stone-coated steel wins where it counts in Florida — lifespan, hail, and wind.

What Matters Asphalt Shingles Concrete / Clay Tile Tefute Stone-Coated Steel
Lifespan 12–20 years 30–50 years 50–70+ years
Weight on your home Medium Very heavy — often needs truss reinforcement Ultra-light (~1.5 lbs/sq ft)
Hail resistance Varies — granule loss Fragile — cracks easily Class 4 (highest rating)
Wind resistance 60–90 mph Gravity-held — tiles can slip 130+ mph (interlocking)
Color over time Fades quickly Holds color Ceramic-coated, UV resistant
Fire rating Class A (varies) Class A Class A — non-combustible steel

Comparison reflects general material characteristics and published Tefute product specifications. Actual performance varies by installation and conditions.

Common Questions

Tefute Stone-Coated Steel FAQ

What exactly is a stone-coated steel roof?

It's a structural steel panel coated with natural stone granules bonded by an acrylic finish. You get the look of clay tile, barrel tile, or cedar shake with the durability of metal — one of the most weather-resistant roofing systems made.

How long does it last?

A properly installed Tefute roof typically lasts 50–70 years — versus roughly 20 years for asphalt shingles. It's backed by a 50-year limited warranty. For most homeowners, it's genuinely the last roof they'll ever buy.

What does it cost compared to a regular roof?

Stone-coated steel generally runs about 15–20% more than traditional materials up front. But because it lasts two to three times longer and lowers maintenance and energy costs, it's typically the better value over the life of the home. We'll give you exact numbers for your roof.

Can it really handle Florida hurricanes and hail?

Yes. Tefute carries a Class 4 impact rating (UL 2218) for hail and an interlocking panel system rated for 130+ mph winds, plus a Class A fire rating. It's engineered specifically for severe weather.

Will it make my house hotter?

The opposite. Stone-coated steel reflects UV rays instead of absorbing them, and it's installed on battens that create an air gap to vent heat before it reaches your attic. With proper ventilation it can help lower your summer cooling bills.
