Steel roofing can have the appearance of traditional shingles while delivering the durability and strength of the metal. It can be made from rolled steel sheets with a rust-preventing coating. Stone-coated steel roofing is finished off with a layer of stone that permanently adheres to the surface and provides a beautiful decorative look.
Stone-coated steel handles Denver's temperature swings, wind, and snow load, and the steel substrate is non-combustible. The stone chip surface resists fading and gives the panel a textured, matte appearance rather than the sheen of bare metal.
Stone-coated steel shingles replicate clay tile, concrete tile, wood shake, and architectural asphalt closely enough that most people will not pick the difference from the street.
The practical advantage is weight. Stone-coated steel runs as little as 1.5 pounds per square foot against up to 10 for concrete tile, which means it can usually go over an existing roof without a tear-off. That saves the disposal cost and the days of mess that come with stripping a roof, and it avoids loading a structure that was never designed for tile.
Steel roofing, a popular choice in Denver, mimics traditional asphalt shingles in appearance but offers the strength and longevity of metal. Key features include:
DECRA is the original stone-coated metal roof and is manufactured in the United States. Its Limited Lifetime Warranty covers wind up to 120 mph and hail penetration at any stone size.
Five profiles covering tile, shake, and shingle looks, all in stone-coated steel.
