What makes Fortega roofs special?
Designed for harsh climatic conditions
You’ll get a quiet roof that has withstood Canadian winters and will last for decades.
Lightweight
Thanks to its light weight, Fortega does not put a strain on the roof structure. This is essential for renovations of older homes, where you can save on costly carpentry work that would be required for heavy clay tiles.
Maximum Sound Attenuation
Forget about the clanging of metal. The composite material naturally absorbs the sound of falling raindrops and hail. So you can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep in the attic, even during a storm.
High Impact Resistance of the Material
The material is exceptionally tough, flexible and crack-resistant. Technology tried and tested in the Canadian winter ensures that the roof will retain its structural integrity and appearance for decades.
Sustainability
We give beverage cartons a new lease of life. By combining recycled plastic and aluminium, we create a material with a lifespan of over 50 years, which is fully recyclable again at the end of its life cycle.
An investment in a roof with a lifespan of over 50 years
Fortega roofing is designed to withstand hailstorms and extreme frosts with ease. It ensures your home remains perfectly quiet, free from the clanging of metal, and is so lightweight that you won’t need to reinforce the roof structure.

Comparison of roofs
A comparison of Fortega roofs with standard roofing materials
Lighter, quieter and with no compromises during renovation. Fortega offers a solution where traditional roofing materials reach their limits. See what makes the difference.
Roof tiles put a strain on the roof structure. Fortega is lightweight.
Clay and concrete tiles are heavy and often require the structure to be reinforced. Fortega is also ideal for renovations that do not involve altering the roof structure.
The metal rattles. Fortega dampens the noise.
Metal roofs amplify the sound of rain and hail. Thanks to its composite material, Fortega dampens this noise and ensures a quieter home.
Shingles age. Fortega lasts.
Asphalt shingles deteriorate over time and absorb water. Fortega is non-absorbent, stable and long-lasting.
Traditional roofing materials take time to install. Fortega is easy to lay.
Conventional roofing materials require complex installation and substrate preparation. Fortega uses a system solution that simplifies and speeds up installation.

Tried and tested on new builds and renovations
Where are Fortega roofs already in use?
Fortega has proven its worth in both new-build homes and renovation projects. In short, wherever durability, weight and quick, hassle-free installation are key considerations.
“We’ve had Fortega (Ekoternit) on our roof for several years now and it still looks great. I particularly appreciate its light weight and how well it withstands both sun and frost.”
“During the installation, we particularly appreciated how easy it was to handle. What’s more, the slate has a very natural look and the roof blends in beautifully with the house.”
“We chose Fortegu (Ekoternit) for our holiday home, and it works perfectly even in the harshest conditions. It can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and strong sunlight.”
“We used this roofing material on a small industrial building and it has held up well over the long term with no signs of wear and tear. The material remains stable and reliable even after several years.”
“Renovating the old asbestos cement roof was a major undertaking for us. Thanks to the lightweight roofing material, we didn’t need to reinforce the roof structure, which saved us a lot of money and hassle. The installation was quick and went smoothly.”
“The original asbestos cement roofing was on its last legs, and we were concerned about the weight of the new roof. This solution has significantly reduced the load on the roof structure, and the installation went surprisingly smoothly. The result looks great.”
“We were looking for a replacement for our old asbestos cement roofing that wouldn’t put unnecessary strain on the structure. This roofing material ticked all the boxes – it’s lightweight, sturdy, and the company managed to install it in just a few days.”
“We didn’t want to risk putting any further strain on the older roof structure, so we opted for a lightweight solution. The transition from asbestos cement went smoothly, the installation was quick, and the overall look of the roof is a cut above.”
“We already had to deal with the old asbestos cement roofing and didn’t want to put any unnecessary strain on the original roof structure. Lightweight roofing was the ideal choice – it was quick to install and didn’t require any complicated structural alterations.”
