A Santiago ASA/PVC tile sheet can roof a Brazilian varanda, área gourmet or garage with the look of a colonial tile roof, on a steel or treated-wood frame with purlins less than 700 mm apart and a slope of at least 20%. A 4 m × 5 m área gourmet built against the house takes 6 sheets of 4.161 m, about 24 m² of roof and 96 – 120 screw sets. Keep the churrasqueira's heat and smoke away from the sheet: it is a plastic sheet, not a fire-rated material.

Which roof layout suits a veranda, gourmet area or garage?
Most of these roofs take one of two shapes. A 1-água roof (single slope, also called meia-água) leans against the house wall and sheds water away from it. It is the usual choice for a front varanda, a garage along the side of the house or an área gourmet built onto the back. A 2-águas roof has a ridge in the middle and two faces, which suits a freestanding área gourmet in the garden, a carport away from the house, or a veranda that runs out from a gable end.
Whichever shape you pick, the slope stays between 20% and 45%, a rise of 20 – 45 cm for every metre of horizontal run. Plenty of veranda roofs in Brazil are built flatter than that to keep the eave high. With a tile sheet that does not work, because wind drives rain back up under the laps. If headroom at the eave is tight, raise the support on the house side instead of flattening the roof.
The profile is Spanish-style: rows of curved tiles with a new row every 219 mm, on a sheet 1.05 m wide that covers 0.96 m after the side lap. From the street it reads as a telha colonial roof, although it is one long sheet, not capa-e-canal clay tiles laid piece by piece. When the new roof sits beside an old clay roof, hold a sample against it before choosing the colour. Dark grey, red, blue, orange and chocolate are standard; green, white and purple are made to order.
What frame does a PVC tile roof need over a veranda or garage?
Steel (metalon tube or light steel sections) and treated wood (eucalipto tratado) both work. The sheet cares about purlin spacing more than about the material: purlins less than 700 mm apart, 440 or 660 mm for the tile sheet, so that one purlin sits under the foot of a tile step. On a 2-águas roof the top purlin goes 15 – 18 cm below the ridge, so the ridge cap has something to screw into.
Pre-drill 6 mm holes and drive 70 mm screws through the top of the wave into a purlin, 4 – 5 sets per m², each with an ASA cap. Never screw in the valley, where the water runs. Lap each sheet over the next by one wave. A 1-água roof meets the house with vertical wall flashing, and the low edge takes the eave sealing tile. Ridge cap, hip ridge, ridge terminals and the other accessories come in the same colours as the sheet.
A pergola needs one extra step. The beams of a timber pergolado are spaced for shade, not for a roof sheet, so lay purlins across them at 440 or 660 mm before the tile sheet goes on. A flat pergola top also has to be tilted to at least 20%.

Is a PVC roof safe over a churrasqueira?
Only if the heat is taken somewhere else. A Santiago tile sheet is made of ASA and PVC. It is not a fire-rated material, and Santiago gives no fire rating for it. Under an área gourmet roof the grill should be a built churrasqueira with a hood and a chimney that carries smoke and heat up past the roof line. The sheet must not sit in the path of the hot flue gas or near the flame.
Ask the mason who builds the churrasqueira to frame the chimney opening in masonry or another non-combustible material and to keep the tile sheet well clear of the flue. The safe distance depends on the grill, the chimney and your local building rules, so take it from the mason or the grill maker; we do not give a number. A loose charcoal grill or a gas burner set up under a low plastic roof is a bad idea with any brand of sheet.
Away from the grill, the sheet makes the space more comfortable. In Santiago's tests the area under the tile sheet stays 6 – 8 °C cooler than under bare metal sheet, and rain noise is about 80% lower. You notice the second figure at a Sunday lunch when a summer storm comes through.
How much material does a 4 m × 5 m área gourmet need? A worked example
Take an área gourmet 5 m wide and 4 m deep. Version A leans against the back wall of the house as a 1-água roof with a 25% slope. Version B stands on its own in the garden as a 2-águas roof, with the ridge along the 5 m side and a 30% slope. Sheet lengths are rounded up to whole 219 mm tile steps.
| Step | A: 1 água against the house | B: 2 águas, freestanding |
|---|---|---|
| Length to cover on the slope | 4.0 m run, 1.0 m rise: 4.12 m | 2.0 m run, 0.6 m rise: 2.09 m per face |
| Sheet length | 19 steps × 219 mm = 4.161 m | 10 steps × 219 mm = 2.19 m |
| Sheets across 5 m | 5 ÷ 0.96 = 5.2, round up: 6 sheets covering 5.76 m | 6 per face, 12 in total |
| Running metres on the order | 6 × 4.161 m = about 25 m | 12 × 2.19 m = about 26.3 m |
| Roof area | 5.76 × 4.161 = about 24 m² | 5.76 × 2.19 × 2 = about 25.2 m² |
| Screw sets with ASA caps (4 – 5 per m²) | 96 – 120 | about 100 – 126 |
| Purlin rows (no more than 660 mm apart) | 8 rows, about 5.8 m each | 5 rows per face, top row 15 – 18 cm below the ridge |
| Edge pieces | 5.76 m of vertical wall flashing, 5.76 m of eave sealing tile | 5.76 m of ridge cap, 2 ridge terminals, 2 × 5.76 m of eave sealing tile |
| Sheet weight (5.4 kg per m²) | about 130 kg | about 136 kg |
Six sheets cover 5.76 m, so on a 5 m structure the roof runs about 38 cm past each side, which keeps slanting rain off the counter and the bench. If the site has no room for that, the installer trims the outer sheets. In version A the roof is 1 m higher at the house wall than at the eave, so check that the wall gives that height above the door and window heads. Post, beam and purlin sizes are your builder's calculation, set for the spans and the wind where you live.
Can you use PVC tile sheets for a garage cover or a carport?
Yes. A cobertura para garagem with tile sheets is built like the veranda: posts, beams, purlins less than 700 mm apart and a slope of 20% or more. On a 1-água carport against the house, put the high side on the wall and let the water fall on the open side, away from the gate and the path to the front door. Fit the eave sealing tile along the low edge.
A carport stands in full sun all day, so the colour has to last as long as the one on the house. The ASA top layer showed no colour change after 2,000 hours of artificial UV, the colour is rated for 30 years, and real roofs last 25 – 30 years. With no metal in the sheet there is nothing to rust, which helps on the coast, where salt air works on metal roofs. The warranty is 10 years for 2.5 mm and thicker sheet installed as Santiago recommends.
How does a buyer in Brazil get Santiago tile sheets?
Santiago makes the sheets in Vietnam and exports by container. The minimum export order is one 40 ft container, about 5,000 m of sheet, with colours, profiles and accessories mixed; production takes about 5 days. An área gourmet like the one above uses about 25 m, so homeowners and small builders buy through a Brazilian importer or distributor that brings containers in through Santos, Paranaguá or Itajaí.
Brazil (Mercosur) has no trade agreement preference with Vietnam for this product. Santiago ships it under HS code 3925.90.00; check the classification, duties and documents with your despachante aduaneiro before the first order. Every lot ships with a quality certificate (CQ), and the factory works under ISO 9001:2015 certificate ICI-23087.D. Samples are free (the buyer pays the courier), quotations are made per order in writing, and Santiago sends installation videos to your installer. It does not install. The full laying sequence is in our guide on how to install PVC roof tile sheets.

Frequently asked questions
What slope does a PVC tile roof over a veranda need?
Between 20% and 45%, which is 20 – 45 cm of rise for each metre of horizontal run. A flatter roof lets wind-driven rain back under the laps of the tile sheet.
Can I put a PVC tile roof over my churrasqueira?
Only over a built churrasqueira with a hood and a chimney that carries heat and smoke past the roof line. The Santiago tile sheet is a plastic sheet, not a fire-rated material, so ask the mason or the grill maker for the safe distance from the flue.
How many tile sheets does a 4 m × 5 m área gourmet need?
As a 1-água roof against the house with a 25% slope: 6 sheets of 4.161 m, about 24 m² of roof, 96 – 120 screw sets with ASA caps, 5.76 m of wall flashing and 5.76 m of eave sealing tile.
Can the frame be metalon or eucalipto tratado?
Yes, either works if the purlins are less than 700 mm apart (440 or 660 mm for the tile sheet) and every 70 mm screw goes through the top of the wave into a purlin.
Does Santiago install the roof in Brazil?
No. Santiago supplies the sheets and accessories from Vietnam and sends installation videos; a local builder installs. Homeowners usually buy through a Brazilian importer, since the minimum export order is one 40 ft container.

Versão em português
A telha ASA/PVC da Santiago cobre varanda, área gourmet ou garagem com aparência de telhado colonial, sobre estrutura de metalon ou madeira tratada com terças a menos de 700 mm e inclinação mínima de 20%. Uma área gourmet de 4 m × 5 m encostada na casa leva 6 telhas de 4,161 m, cerca de 24 m² de telhado. A telha é de plástico e não é material resistente ao fogo: o calor da churrasqueira precisa sair pela chaminé.
Telhado para varanda: 1 água ou 2 águas?
O telhado de uma água (meia-água) fica encostado na parede da casa e joga a água para longe dela. É o mais comum em varanda da frente, garagem lateral e área gourmet nos fundos. O telhado de duas águas tem cumeeira no meio e serve para área gourmet isolada no quintal, garagem separada da casa ou varanda que sai da empena.
Nos dois casos a inclinação fica entre 20% e 45%, ou seja, 20 a 45 cm de altura para cada metro de comprimento na horizontal. Muita varanda é feita mais plana para o beiral ficar alto, mas com telha de PVC isso não dá certo: o vento empurra a chuva por baixo das sobreposições. Se falta altura no beiral, suba o apoio do lado da casa em vez de diminuir a inclinação.
O perfil é colonial de estilo espanhol, com uma fileira de telhas a cada 219 mm, largura de 1,05 m e 0,96 m úteis. Vista da rua, parece telhado colonial, mas é uma chapa inteira, não telha capa e canal assentada peça por peça. Cores padrão: cinza escuro, vermelho, azul, laranja e chocolate; verde, branco e roxo sob encomenda. Se o telhado novo ficar ao lado de um telhado de barro antigo, compare com uma amostra antes de escolher a cor.

Telhado colonial para área gourmet com churrasqueira: o que cuidar
A telha ASA/PVC não é material resistente ao fogo e a Santiago não dá classificação de fogo para ela. Debaixo do telhado, a churrasqueira deve ser de alvenaria, com coifa e chaminé que leve a fumaça e o calor para cima, além da linha do telhado. A telha não pode ficar no caminho do gás quente da chaminé nem perto da chama.
Peça ao pedreiro que faça a passagem da chaminé em alvenaria ou outro material não combustível e que mantenha a telha bem afastada do duto. A distância segura depende da churrasqueira, da chaminé e das regras de obra da sua cidade; quem define é o pedreiro ou o fabricante da churrasqueira, não damos um número. Churrasqueira solta a carvão ou fogareiro a gás debaixo de telhado baixo de plástico é má ideia com qualquer telha.
Longe da churrasqueira, a telha ajuda. Nos testes da Santiago, o ambiente sob a telha fica 6 a 8 °C mais fresco do que sob telha metálica sem isolamento, e o barulho da chuva cai cerca de 80%.
Estrutura: metalon, eucalipto tratado ou pergolado?
Metalon e madeira tratada servem. O que a telha exige é o espaçamento das terças: menos de 700 mm, ou seja, 440 ou 660 mm para a telha colonial, com uma terça debaixo do pé de cada passo. No telhado de duas águas, a última terça fica 15 a 18 cm abaixo da cumeeira. Faça furos de 6 mm e use parafusos de 70 mm com capuz ASA, sempre na crista da onda e em cima da terça, 4 a 5 conjuntos por m². Nunca parafuse no canal, por onde a água corre. Sobreponha as telhas em uma onda. No pergolado de madeira, as vigas costumam estar espaçadas para sombra: coloque terças por cima a cada 440 ou 660 mm e dê ao topo pelo menos 20% de inclinação.
Exemplo: quanto material para uma área gourmet de 4 m × 5 m?
| Item | A: 1 água encostada na casa (25%) | B: 2 águas isolada no quintal (30%) |
|---|---|---|
| Comprimento no caimento | 4,0 m + 1,0 m de altura: 4,12 m | 2,0 m + 0,6 m de altura: 2,09 m por lado |
| Comprimento da telha | 19 passos × 219 mm = 4,161 m | 10 passos × 219 mm = 2,19 m |
| Telhas nos 5 m | 5 ÷ 0,96 = 5,2 → 6 telhas (5,76 m) | 6 por lado, 12 no total |
| Metros lineares no pedido | cerca de 25 m | cerca de 26,3 m |
| Área do telhado | cerca de 24 m² | cerca de 25,2 m² |
| Parafusos com capuz ASA | 96 a 120 | cerca de 100 a 126 |
| Arremates | 5,76 m de rufo de parede e 5,76 m de vedação do beiral | 5,76 m de cumeeira, 2 terminais, 2 × 5,76 m de vedação do beiral |
| Peso das telhas (5,4 kg/m²) | cerca de 130 kg | cerca de 136 kg |
As 6 telhas cobrem 5,76 m, então numa estrutura de 5 m o telhado avança cerca de 38 cm de cada lado e protege a bancada da chuva de vento. Na versão A, o telhado fica 1 m mais alto na parede da casa do que no beiral: confira se a parede tem essa altura acima de portas e janelas. O dimensionamento de pilares, vigas e terças é do seu construtor, conforme os vãos e o vento da região.

Cobertura para garagem com telha de PVC: como fazer e onde comprar
A cobertura para garagem segue a mesma regra: pilares, vigas, terças a menos de 700 mm e inclinação a partir de 20%. Na garagem de meia-água, o lado alto vai na parede e a água cai do lado aberto, longe do portão. Sem metal na telha não há ferrugem, e a camada ASA não mudou de cor após 2.000 horas de UV artificial; a cor tem estimativa de 30 anos e a garantia é de 10 anos para telhas de 2,5 mm ou mais, instaladas como a Santiago recomenda.
A Santiago fabrica no Vietnã e exporta por contêiner: pedido mínimo de um contêiner de 40 pés, cerca de 5.000 m, com cores e acessórios misturados, produção em cerca de 5 dias. Por isso o consumidor final compra por meio de um importador ou distribuidor no Brasil, com desembarque em Santos, Paranaguá ou Itajaí. Não há preferência tarifária entre o Brasil (Mercosul) e o Vietnã para este produto; o código HS é 3925.90.00 e quem confirma tributos e documentos é o seu despachante aduaneiro. Amostras grátis (o comprador paga o frete do courier), cotação por pedido e por escrito, vídeos de instalação para o seu instalador. A Santiago não faz a instalação.
Perguntas frequentes
Qual a inclinação mínima do telhado de PVC na varanda?
20%, ou seja, 20 cm de altura por metro na horizontal, e no máximo 45%. Mais plano que isso, o vento empurra a chuva por baixo das sobreposições.
Posso usar telha de PVC na área gourmet com churrasqueira?
Sim, se a churrasqueira for de alvenaria com coifa e chaminé que leve o calor para além do telhado. A telha ASA/PVC não é material resistente ao fogo; a distância segura do duto quem define é o pedreiro ou o fabricante da churrasqueira.
Quantas telhas para uma área gourmet de 4 m × 5 m?
Em meia-água com 25% de inclinação: 6 telhas de 4,161 m, cerca de 24 m² de telhado, 96 a 120 parafusos com capuz ASA, 5,76 m de rufo de parede e 5,76 m de vedação do beiral.
Dá para usar telha de PVC em pergolado?
Sim, desde que se coloquem terças sobre as vigas a cada 440 ou 660 mm e o topo tenha pelo menos 20% de inclinação.
