screws shall be fixed with neoprene or metal washers.

The metal roof tiles may have the following surface treatment: natural aluminum, natural
steel, pre-painted and post-painted.

The metal roof tiles may be specified with the following materials:

 Natural Aluminum:
- Plates in corrugated or trapezoidal profile, manufactured in structural
aluminum alloys;
- Characteristics:
 Lighter than other roof tiles;
 Durable material;
 High resistance to atmospheric corrosion;
 The reflectivity of aluminum roof tiles reduces the temperature of
the facilities and thermal conductivity.
 Galvanized steel:
- Plates in corrugated or trapezoidal profile manufactured in hot dip
galvanization process and coated with zinc or zinc-aluminum alloy
which gives the steel an excellent corrosion resistance.
- Characteristics:
 Good durability;
 Good cost/benefit ratio;
 Facility and speed of implementation.

Hot dip galvanization sheets or coils with or without painting and thin sheets of steel resistant
to post-painting atmospheric corrosion shall be used to avoid corrosion.
