Gerard Roof Systems and Products

Gerard Stone Coated Steel
A superb alternative to concrete tile…Stone Coated Steel. The unique interlocking panels protect your home from all the elements and it can be used for re-roof or new roof applications. The panels are made from high quality 26-gauge Galvalume steel that is coated with an acrylic basecoat. Gerard’s innovative Stone Coated Steel offers a choice between the traditional elegance of hand split wood and the distinctive beauty of tile. And it comes with a Lifetime Transferable Limited warranty that can be transferred as many times, up to 50 years, with no cost (the only warranty in the roofing industry capable of doing so).

There is an extensive selection of colors available and our Design Center/Showroom has the largest display of Gerard products in Northern California. Cal-Vintage Roofing is factory certified to install all profiles of Gerard Stone Coated Steel products.

• Energy efficient- The panels are installed over an elevated batten system which creates an air space that insulates the roof from extreme heat or cold. Additional insulators can be applied in this space for even greater energy savings (1 1/2” of insulation which is a R-Value of 5.1). Steel roofs have a minimum of 30% recycled content and are 100% recyclable when removed as part of building renovation or demolition.
