Metal shingles or rhomboids are small-format metal roofing. They are not only available as rectangles or diamonds, but also in special shapes such as hexagons or rounded shapes. They are prefabricated elements that are attached to the substructure with special adhesives and connected to each other. Due to the different shapes and sizes, metal shingles/diamonds have different fold proportions and therefore vary in tightness. The standard roof pitches are therefore strongly dependent on the manufacturer and must be tested individually for each product. The different sizes allow for a wide range of design options, and individually gridded roof surfaces are also possible.
