Roofing Materials
Metal Shingles and Shakes
Metal shingles give you a metal roof that does not read as one from the street, in panels that lock together rather than long runs.
What It Is
Pressed steel or aluminum panels stamped to look like shake, slate or tile, installed in courses with interlocking edges. The fasteners are hidden the way they are on standing seam.
Where It Wins
- The life of metal with a traditional look
- Panels suit a complicated cut up roof better than long runs do
- Light, so no structural work
Where It Does Not
- Costs close to standing seam without the same clean lines
- A damaged panel in the middle of a roof is awkward to swap
In the Quad Cities
A good answer for an older house with a lot of dormers and valleys, where long standing seam panels would be cut to pieces anyway.
