Pressed Steel Roofing Tiles Pressed steel roofing tiles are a type of roofing material that is made from galvanized steel. The steel is stamped into a tile shape using a press machine, hence the name "pressed steel." The resulting tiles are then coated with a protective layer of paint or other material to make them more durable and weather-resistant. Pressed steel roofing tiles are popular because they are lightweight, strong, and easy to install. They are also fire-resistant, and can withstand extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, and hailstorms. They come in a variety of colors and designs, and can be made to look like other materials such as clay or slate.
