Inspired by the look of Welsh slate, the Gerard Alpine profile brings a smooth, linear look while surface detailing adds a slightly rustic overtone. The Gerard Alpine profile has a simplicity that works with both contemporary and traditional architecture, giving the roof a continuous smooth pattern that can present a flat, almost seamless appearance when seen in soft light like on a cloudy day.
A Gerard roof is made up of dozens of pressed steel sheets locked together to form a robust structural element which, though lightweight, is exceptionally strong and long lasting. Pictured on the right is the outline of the Gerard Alpine pressed steel tile.
