Catnic Urban Standing Seam Roofing is redefining what modern roofing solutions can deliver, combining striking architectural aesthetics with exceptional practicality, sustainability, and long-term performance.
Designed specifically for residential and mixed-use developments, Catnic Urban provides a sleek standing seam finish that brings contemporary design quality to both new build and refurbishment projects. Its clean lines and crisp detailing allow it to complement everything from modern executive homes and apartment schemes to heritage-inspired extensions and rural developments. Crucially, it delivers the premium appearance often associated with zinc or copper roofing, but in a far more cost-effective and accessible format.
Lightweight Performance with Faster Installation
What makes Catnic Urban particularly compelling is the way it combines design flexibility with genuine buildability. Manufactured from Tata Steel’s Colorcoat HPS200 Ultra® pre-finished steel, the system is lightweight, durable, and engineered for rapid installation. In fact, Catnic Urban is up to seven times lighter than traditional roof tiles, reducing structural load requirements while making handling and installation significantly easier on site. Its snap-lock standing seam system allows for quick build times and neat, consistent finishes, helping contractors improve productivity without compromising quality.
The versatility of the system is another major advantage. Suitable for roofs with pitches as low as five degrees, Catnic Urban opens up wider architectural possibilities for developers and designers, particularly for extensions, dormers, contemporary housing schemes, and mixed roof designs. The system can also be used as wall cladding, allowing a fully integrated architectural approach across the building envelope.
Sustainability Built Into the System
Sustainability is central to the Catnic Urban proposition. Manufactured in the UK, the system supports a lower carbon footprint while also being fully recyclable at end of life. The product achieves an A+ BRE Green Guide rating and is certified to BES 6001 responsible sourcing standards, reinforcing Catnic’s commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing. Catnic Urban is also compatible with integrated solar technology through Catnic SolarSeam, enabling renewable energy generation without compromising the roof’s visual integrity.
Durability and long-term confidence are equally important. Catnic Urban is BBA approved, CE marked to BS EN 14783 standards, and backed by the Confidex® Home Guarantee, offering homeowners and developers a 25-year performance guarantee. The advanced coating technology provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, UV degradation, and weather exposure, ensuring the roof retains its appearance and performance for decades.
