Lightweight Roof Tiles

Lightweight roof tiles are a smart alternative to traditional tiles for low-load structures like sheds, carports, garden rooms and conservatories. Typically, a roof material is classed as "lightweight" if it weighs under 20Kg per square metre.

Easier to handle, quicker to install and designed for long-term performance, they’re ideal for DIYers and homeowners working with non-standard roofs.

Unlike heavy slate or concrete roof tiles, lightweight tiles are made from modern materials like metal, synthetic slate and plastic. This makes them suitable for roofing timber-framed structures (like garden sheds and summerhouses) or pre-fab builds where weight is a concern - without giving up on appearance or durability.

Popular uses include:

• Sheds and outbuildings - where felt or sheet roofing may look too basic

• Conservatories and lean-tos - for added insulation and a traditional tiled look

• Garage or carport conversions - where roof loading is limited

At Roofing Megastore we stock leading lightweight roofing brands like Britmet, Envirotile, Guardian and Tapco, with many tiles backed by up to 40-year guarantees.

Most tiles are:

• Simple to fit with standard tools

• UV- and weather-resistant

• Available in a range of colours and profiles to match traditional finishes

• Available with relevant lightweight tile ancillaries and fittings for weatherproofing
