	Gerard Roofing Technologies has been manufacturing Stone Coated Roofing Systems since 1971. Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof Systems use steel panels that are protected from the elements by corrosion resistant Galvalume. The Gerard basecoat uses proprietary resins, which have been developed over many years to promote lifetime performance in all climates. The stone chips that Gerard uses in its Stone Coating are non-oiled natural granite granules that improve adherence to the basecoat while enhancing the appearance of Gerard panels. The initial cost of installing a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof may be more than with other roofing materials. However, the money a homeowner can save is significant, because a Gerard roof will be the last roof you ever buy. A Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof adds to your home’s beauty and to its resale value. Finally, insurance companies in many states will lower your homeowner’s insurance premiums by as much as 35% due to the proven protection of a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof.

Is a Gerard Roof Heavy?
Frequently Asked Questions
At only 1.4 lbs. per square foot, a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof is truly “lightweight”. Concrete and clay roofs can weigh up to 15 lbs per square foot! In fact a Gerard roof is even lighter than most high-grade asphalt roof shingles.
Will a Gerard Roof make my home hotter in the summer?
No. Many Gerard Roof owners have experienced utility savings after installation. A properly vented Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof System moves air between the steel panel and the underlying deck. Heated air dissipates through the ridgeline while cooler air is drawn through eave vents.
Is a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof noisy?
No! The dead air space between Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof Panels and the roof decking combined with the stone coating dampens exterior noise even in a rainstorm.
Are Homeowner Insurance discounts available if I install a Gerard Roof?
Yes. Many Homeowner Insurance Providers now offer up to 35% discounts on insurance premiums. Check with your insurance provider.
How does a Gerard Roof stand up to high winds?
Extremely well! Gerard warrants our Stone Coated Roofing Systems to withstand 120 mph winds. Note that Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roofs have been control tested and withstood winds exceeding 170 mph. Wow!
Can a Gerard roof be walked on?
Yes. Gerard Stone Coated Roofing Systems can be walked on without breaking or cracking, unlike concrete and clay roofs. Care should be taken not to walk on the raised rib portions of the panel.
Is a Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof safe in a lightning storm?
Very much so! A Gerard Stone Coated Steel Roof does not attract lightning.
