For years, homeowners across Nigeria have relied on zinc roofing sheets, but one problem keeps coming back: rust.

That is why Fabcom Structural Ltd introduced Zinc Stone Coated Roofing, an upgrade designed for Nigerians who want the strength and affordability of zinc, with the beauty and durability of stone coated roofing.

In this guide, you’ll learn what makes this new roofing sheet special, how it compares to traditional zinc and regular stone-coated tiles, and why it’s fast becoming the smarter choice for long-lasting, rust-free roofs.

What Is Zinc Stone Coated Roofing?

Zinc Stone Coated Roofing is a new roofing material that combines the strength of zinc sheets with the elegance and protection of stone-coated finishes. Each sheet is built from a zinc aluminum steel base, layered with natural stone granules, and coated with adhesive. This gives it the durability of metal roofing and the aesthetic appeal of premium stone coated feel.

In simple terms, it is an upgrade from traditional zinc roofing, stronger, quieter, rust resistant, and more beautiful.

Why Switch to Zinc Stone Coated Roofing

If you love the look of stone coated tiles like Milano, Bond, Classic, or Shingle, but the price can be a barrier. On the other hand, traditional zinc sheets (often called zinc and Ghana zinc) are affordable but prone to rust, leaks, and noise.

The Zinc Stone Coated Roofing bridges that gap, offering the same aesthetic appeal as stone-coated tiles but at a more affordable price, with the added advantage of being rust-free.

Here is why it is gaining popularity:

• Rust Resistance: Zinc-aluminum alloy prevents corrosion even in coastal or humid areas.
• Noise Reduction: The stone coating minimizes the sound of rainfall.
• Heat Reflection: Reflective coating helps maintain a cooler indoor temperature.
• Lightweight Design: Easy to install and reduces load on building structures.
• Affordable Price Point: Ideal for mid-range homeowners and developers.

Zinc Stone Coated vs. Ghana Zinc Roofing Sheet

Let’s compare the Zinc Stone Coated Roofing with the widely used Ghana zinc so you can see the difference clearly.

Summary: The Zinc Stone Coated Roofing offers a balanced solution, it is affordable like Ghana zinc but far more durable and beautiful.

Zinc Stone Coated vs. Regular Stone Coated Roofing Tiles

If you admire the premium look of the stone coated tiles but need a budget-friendly version, the Zinc Stone Coated is your best option. It gives you similar beauty and performance without stretching your budget.

Summary: Zinc Stone Coated Roofing serves as the bridge between regular zinc and high end stone coated roofing, giving you quality, beauty, and affordability in one product.

Real-Life Example: From Rusty Zinc to Fabcom Zinc Stone Coated

A homeowner in Kuje, Abuja, was building five units of two-bedroom houses. When it was time to choose a roofing material, they were torn between using regular zinc or finding something more durable and attractive.

Fortunately, at that time, Fabcom Structural Ltd was running a partnership campaign for residents in the Kuje area. During their visit to the Abuja factory, the homeowner learned about the new Zinc Stone Coated Roofing Sheet and decided to sign up through the campaign.

They went ahead to roof all five houses with the Zinc Stone Coated Roofing, and the result was beautiful, elegant appearance, cooler interior temperature, and long-lasting protection without rust.

Today, those five homes still stand as proof that choosing our Zinc Stone Coated Roofing is a smart investment that delivers both beauty and peace of mind.

Stories like this are why more Nigerians are choosing Zinc Stone Coated Roofing, reliability that saves money in the long run.
