Yes. Though some care must be exercised while walking on the roof and you should only place your foot on the flat section on the nose of the tile,roofers walk all over the roof during the installation process. IS A STONE-COATED STEEL ROOF NOISY IN THE RAIN? No. The modular tile system and the dead space between the steel roofing panel and the underlay minimize exterior noise even in a rainstorm. The stone-coating also reduces the noise of the rain when it hits the tiles. HOW WILL A TILCOR ROOF STAND UP TO EXTREME WEATHER?

Fuyang Musi has many international test reports and actual field results confirming their products are earthquake, fire and freeze/thaw resistant and can withstand hurricane-forced winds of up to 193kph.
