Metal roofs are favored for their fire-resistant qualities, longevity, and speed of installation. The material is also surprisingly lightweight and great at reflecting heat from the sun, a characteristic that helps homeowners save energy and may even qualify for tax credits.
Why a Metal Roof?
Metal Roof Styles
Shake
Chiseling and cracks are used to mimic the organic look of real wood and include eight separate elevation changes to replicate the irregularity of real wood shakes.
Metal shake shingles are pre-weathered, aged and distressed to recreate the look of authentic wood shakes. Our paint application technique uses highlights to change the visual temperature of each panel. Optically, the warm hues advance, while the cool hues recede.
High wind and water is no match for shake metal roofing. A specialized chiseled channel is at maximum height to allow constant water movement away from the roof deck. And the high wind rating is thanks to our four point locking system secured with a patent pending concealed clip.
Tile
With its classic elegance and long history, Spanish tile remains the most popular choice in many parts of the United States.
Today, tile metal roofing embodies the same Mediterranean magnetism of traditional clay tiles without the weight, cost or maintenance.
- A special roll-formed tongue-and-groove snap lock along each panel shows none of the fastening system
- The design and colors of each panel have the natural colors found in clay
- Matterhorn Tile Metal Roofing weighs 600 to 800 pounds per square less than clay tile
Slate
Authentically crafted and rendered in steel, slate shingles bring the natural beauty of slate to your home in a light-weight, fully recyclable, energy-efficient material.
With colors designed to recreate stone hues, our patented paint application replicates the look of naturally mottled slate.
