Thanks to innovations in the roofing industry, decramastic tiles have been superseded by today’s pressed steel tiles. And with a different process, comes a superior product. In this blog, we delve further into the history of decramastic tiles and how they differ from what’s in use now.<\/p>\n
The idea of the chip coating tiles came from an Englishman, Ben Booth, who developed a process for coating steel sheet with bitumen onto which sand or grit was applied to prevent the sheets sticking together when stacked. It has been suggested that this was also to reduce glare as a form of camouflage during the wartime period around 1940. Metal tiles were made using this basic coating process from the late 1950’s onward.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
