The structure of the metal tile

So, the metal tile is a steel sheet, the thickness of which varies within 0.4 – 0.7 mm. These sheets are up to eight meters long, although it is worth adding that sheets of smaller length are usually used, since they are easier to transport, lift to a height, overload and so on.

In the manufacture of the coating, they give a form that is similar to natural ceramic tiles. The steel sheet is previously galvanized, since the coating consisting of silicon, zinc and aluminum significantly increases the wear resistance of the material. Then the sheet is treated with a chemical composition, a primer is applied to it, and only after it the upper side is covered with a finish, finishing polymer layer.
