Uganda Baati Limited, a member of the Safal Group, has unveiled cutting-edge stone-coated steel roof tiles under the brand name Lifestile®. This revolutionary stone-coated steel roof tile combines light weight, durability, aesthetic appeal, and unparalleled performance, thus redefining the standards of premium and excellence in roofing solutions.
The State Minister of Urban Development, Honorable Kania Mario Obiga, officiated the event at the Kampala Serena Hotel.
Commenting about the significance of the new product, George Arodi, the CEO of Uganda Baati said: “We understand the significance of reliability and durability when it comes to building solutions; we have won many awards for the same, and that’s why we have poured our expertise and passion into bringing Lifestile®, premium stone-coated steel roof tiles.”
“We know that a roof is an essential element of any structure, be it residential, commercial, or industrial. Even under the high perimeter walls, it’s the roof that we see in a house. A roof defines who we are,” he added.
While speaking at the launch, Hon. Kania Obiga said “As the Government of Uganda, we play a crucial role in shaping policies that directly impact the housing sector and our commitment to driving innovation and progress in this sector is paramount. Today, we stand united with Uganda Baati in the shared vision of transforming the housing landscape and providing the people of our nation with access to the best-in-class roofing and building solutions. Our presence here today further reinforces the government’s endorsement of this remarkable innovation and its unwavering support for innovation and excellence in this industry.”
Arodi added: “The growing population follows trends and that is an opportunity for investment in innovative building solutions that match the evolving trends. As Uganda Baati, we have broadened our product basket that combines building solutions of unrivalled durability, superior performance, and remarkable aesthetics.”
“In the world of business, innovation is the key to success. Uganda Baati has been the leading innovator in roof sheets since 1964 and this has been the driving force that has propelled the company forward, enabling us to meet the ever-evolving needs and desires of the customers. Uganda Baati was the first company to set up a galvanizing line in 1964. The company again came first in bringing into the market various tile brands that today permeate the roof landscape in Uganda like Versatile, Romantile, and, Orientile which was only launched last year” Arodi further explained.
HE said, the Lifestile® line of products, “embodies the very essence of innovation” and has been “crafted with meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence.”
“We have left no stone unturned in our pursuit of perfection, and the outcome is nothing short of extraordinary,” Arodi said.
He said that what makes the product remarkable, was its “ability to withstand extreme weather conditions, the material is non-combustible, ensuring protection from any fires.”
“Lifestile® stone coated steel roof tiles are eight times lighter than clay or concrete tiles meaning less strain on the structure, and an easier, faster, and more affordable construction process. This is in addition to its attractive appearance that has a premium finishing and design to satisfy the most discerning homeowner,” Arodi explained.
Commenting on the environmental friendliness of the stone-coated roof tiles, Dr. Alan Shonubi, the Uganda Baati Board Chairperson said “The launch of the Lifestile® brand comes in at a time we are strongly pushing the message of sustainability through green manufacturing. Green building is an effort to amplify the positive and mitigate the negative of these effects throughout the entire life cycle of a building. We are transitioning from using building materials that otherwise harm our environment and degrade our natural resources; timber, clay, and the like, to using options that are long-lasting and less harmful to our environment.”
“Lifestile® represents a significant milestone for the company as we continue to pioneer advancements in the roofing and building solution industry. Our commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction has been the driving force behind our success, and we are confident that the new product will meet the required customer desires,” he concluded.
Lifestile® is available in different colour options to suit the customers’ taste requirements. They are also available at all Uganda Baati showrooms country-wide and authorised hardware shops.
