Roof on a Pallet: compact, lightweight, and built to last a lifetime
The system
Introducing our Roof on a Pallet system: durable, eco-friendly and easy to install
We manufacture steel roofs from durable, eco-friendly materials. The modular system is made of tile-like sheets that are pieced together to fit like a puzzle on the roof — a complete system, with everything you need for a complete metal roofing installation.
The sheets are compact and lightweight, which saves time on the roof and money on the job. A standard roof fits on a single pallet, so it arrives in one delivery on a regular truck rather than in pieces over a fortnight.

(416) 299-8586Why do people choose a Rudan tile roof?
An established supplier with roofs installed in many countries around the world. Rudan tile's design focus is on simple, functional products that provide an aesthetic look and fast install times, with no maintenance required.
How long has metal and steel roofing been around?
Metal roofing materials have a proven track record. Since the early 1800s, lead, tin, zinc and copper were the choice materials used for roofing.
Can you walk on a metal roof?
Yes indeed. Although some care must be exercised while walking on the roof, and you should only place your foot on the flat section of the tile.
Is a Rudan metal roof noisy during rain?
No. The modular tile system, and the ASV ventilation space between the steel panel and the underlay, reduces exterior noise.
How will a Rudan tile roof stand up to extreme weather?
A Rudan tile roof can literally withstand abuse from extreme weather conditions for decades, including high winds, humidity, heat, rain and hail. It is also fire, freeze-thaw and earthquake resistant.
Will a steel roof corrode or rust?
The zinc coating at 275 g/m² has been formulated to provide a long lifespan and is superior to other coatings. It is backed with a lifetime warranty.
Do the colours fade?
The history of Rudan tile's products assures and demonstrates that fading is not a problem — the coatings come from high-quality suppliers.
What is the carbon footprint for the environment?
One hundred percent of most metal roofing materials are recyclable, ensuring the carbon footprint is next to minimal.
Is a steel roof fire resistant and fire safe?
Metal and steel roofing is classified as a non-combustible roofing material (Class A), making it one of the most resistant roofing products to fire.
Is steel roofing energy efficient?
Metal roofs have a high solar reflectivity, and together with ASV (above sheathing ventilation) this contributes to the overall energy efficiency.
Is run-off water from a metal roof usable?
Yes, rainwater collected from metal roofs is safe to reuse. After installation of a new roof, waiting for two good rainfalls before beginning collection will ensure clean, reusable water.
Are steel roofs more susceptible to lightning strikes?
Steel roofing is definitely no more susceptible to lightning than other roofing materials.
Does a Rudan tile metal roof offer a warranty?
Yes. When installed properly and to the required standards of installation, Rudan tile roofs carry a lifetime warranty.
