A global manufacturer of sprinkled roof tiles has introduced a modern flat-textured sprinkled roof panel to the Polish market. The profile fits into the canons of modern construction, in the layout of the so-called Modern Barn and energy-efficient construction. Until now, the company's "hallmark" was mainly, perfectly imitating the appearance of wooden shingles - CORONA sprinkled tile, which was most often used in Podhale.

ELEGANTA - TILE WITH STONE SPRINKLING
For the segment of manufacturers of modern houses and energy-efficient, so-called passive houses, GERARD has prepared a dedicated roofing material - ELEGANTA sheet tile with rock sp rinkling. The rectangular shape perfectly harmonizes with today's desire for simplicity and beauty. ELEGANTA is characterized by high air tightness, which saves energy, and its application is possible on roofs with a pitch as low as 15°. Excellent weather and corrosion resistance is achieved thanks to steel coated with an alloy of zinc, aluminum and magnesium of 250 g /m2 (provides protection for the steel core). The combination of 93.5% zinc, 3.5% aluminum and 3% magnesium creates an extremely stable barrier that is unmatched in the steel roofing industry. A specially selected stone sprinkle provides an attractive textured finish while enhancing UV resistance. The acrylic-based sprinkle is applied using a hard-coat technology consisting of a mineral binder and lightfast pigments. Cured at high temperatures, it provides long-lasting resistance to roof aging. The final clear acrylic glaze is applied before curing in the oven, so the product can withstand the harshest conditions around the world.

GERARD CORONA® TILE
It resembles wooden shingles. According to many Zakopane architects, it is currently the most favorable covering replacing traditional shingles. The durability of a roof covered with this profile matches that of ceramic tiles, and unlike wood shingles, it does not require expensive impregnation every few years. It is appreciated by owners of Old Polish styled houses from all over the country.
GERARD CLASSIC® TILE
It is characterized by the traditional shape of the ceramic tile - marsylka. Due to its light weight, it does not require large cross sections and dense rafter spacing like much heavier ceramic or cement tiles, which saves wood and money. GERARD Classic® tile fits in with traditional architecture, whether it's an addition to an existing building or replacing a deteriorated covering.
