🏠 A roof renovation feels easier to plan when you understand what the work will involve.

With GERARD’s lightweight steel tiles, installation over an existing covering can be an option, depending on its condition, the roof structure and installation requirements.

On a suitable project, that means the existing covering can stay, avoiding the work of removing that layer.
For someone ready to improve their home, this is a practical possibility worth discussing with the roofer before deciding how to proceed.

Reroofing doesn’t have to be „mission impossible” for you, with GERARD it can be an hassle-free project: https://gerardroofs.eu/en/reroofing 👈

🎨 Imagine this house with a completely different roof colour. Same walls, same windows, same architecture. And yet, a surprisingly different first impression.

That's how much influence a roof can have on the appearance of a home.

With GERARD's range of 8 stone-coated steel roofing profiles and 16 colours, choosing the roof becomes an exciting part of shaping the final look.

What colour would you choose for your house?

👷 Ask three people to describe the same GERARD roof and you might get three completely different answers.

The roofer may mention how light the elements are to handle.
Someone looking at the finished house may talk about the profile and stone-coated surface.

Years later, the owner is more likely to care about how the roof has performed.

Lightweight, durable and aesthetically considered aren't three ways of describing the same benefit. They're three different expectations that one roofing system has to meet.

Nobody buys a house for its roof.

You buy it for the light in the kitchen, the garden, the location and everything that makes it feel like home. But sooner or later, you may have to replace the roof - and that can become a major project.

With GERARD, it doesn’t have to.

Because GERARD tiles are lightweight, the existing roof structure can typically remain in place. And on suitable projects, the new roof can be installed directly over the existing covering, reducing the work involved and allowing everyday life to continue with less disruption.

The roof you inherited was someone else’s choice.
The next one doesn’t have to be.

Storm damage is generally assumed to announce itself. A tile in the driveway. A visible gap. Water on the ceiling by morning.

Often it does none of that. A roofing covering can be lifted, shifted a few millimetres and set back down almost where it started. From the pavement the house looks untouched for another two winters - until damp appears in a bedroom and the cause turns out to be a gust from a storm nobody remembers.

This is exactly what stormproof GERARD is designed to prevent.

Every GERARD panel is fixed into the structure and interlocked with those around it, ""almost where it started"" isn't available to the wind. Movement of that kind is designed out of the system rather than repaired after it.

🏡 Some roofs are meant to sit quietly within the architecture. Others are allowed to make a stronger statement.

Neither approach is automatically right.

What matters is having enough freedom to choose a profile and finish that suit the building rather than forcing the building to accommodate the roof.

GERARD's range of stylish profiles and natral stone-coated surfaces makes that possible across different architectural styles.

Because aesthetic appeal isn't one particular look. It's finding the right one for the house.

Every roof is built against gravity. Whatever ends up on top has to get there first - lifted, carried, passed upward, positioned, piece after piece, by people who have already done the same thing several hundred times that week.

That physical arithmetic sets the schedule far more than anyone's enthusiasm does. Reduce what has to be carried and the same crew covers more roof before the light goes.

GERARD panels are light and each one covers a larger area, so the climbing-and-carrying part of the job shrinks considerably. The work progresses, the site stays tidier, and the roof gets finished while the crew is still fresh enough to do the details properly.

On a roof, speed is mostly a question of what you're not carrying.

5️⃣0️⃣ Try planning anything about your home fifty years ahead.

The furniture? Unlikely. The appliances? Certainly not. Even the way the rooms are used may be completely different.

A roof, however, belongs to the small category of choices made with a much longer horizon in mind.

That's the context in which GERARD offers its 50-Year Weatherproof Warranty: a long-term commitment attached to a part of the house that is expected to stay there through countless changes below it.

Some decisions are made for the home you have now. A roof also needs to make sense for the home it will become.

🪶 You don't need to see the weight of a roof to benefit from having less of it.
The structure beneath it certainly notices.

GERARD uses steel to create a roofing solution that remains lightweight while delivering the durability expected from a long-term building material. Above that steel core, natural stone-coated finishes and distinctive contemporary profiles shape what everyone else sees.

One characteristic benefits the building. Another protects it. The third changes how it looks.

All three come together in one roofing solution from GERARD.

🏡 Renovating from the top down sounds simple - until removing the old roof becomes a project of its own.

Materials have to come down. They have to be handled, transported and disposed of. Only then can the replacement begin.

With lightweight GERARD roofing, another route may be available. On suitable projects, the new roof can be installed directly over the existing covering, eliminating some of those stages altogether.

When planning a reroofing project, it's worth asking not only what needs to be added, but also what really needs to be taken away.
