In 1957 New Zealand innovator Lou Fisher saw an opportunity to create a new kind of roof. Disappointed with the limitations of solid tile and the utilitarian look of long-run corrugated iron roofs, he invented the steel tile roof and established a trusted brand that would grow to become Gerard Roofs. The company continues to lead through ongoing product development and relentless attention to quality standards. Over the years Gerard Roofs' products have been fine-tuned to endure in all living conditions and we are now used in over 120 countries. The Gerard roof you put over your head has not only been proven throughout New Zealand, but in some of the most extreme climates and environments on the planet.
