Euroshield Beaumont Shake® & Beaumont Shake HP
A natural hand-split cedar look with vertical grooves and rich wood grain. Lighter than Ranchlands Shake and priced between asphalt shingles and premium roofing. The HP version carries Euroshield’s any-size hail warranty for the first 20 years.
Euroshield Ranchlands Shake®
Euroshield’s heavy hand-split shake, with ultra-deep shadow lines and long, dramatic vertical grain. The look of real cedar shake without rot, mould, curling, splitting or insects.
Euroshield Rundle Slate®
Replicates extra-thick, chiselled-edge slate with coarse edge texture and strong shadow lines. Weighs close to a laminated asphalt roof, so there are none of the structural concerns of real stone.
Euroshield Vermont Slate®
Euroshield’s most realistic and refined slate style. The uniform look of premium slate in a lightweight panel that is easier to transport, install and afford than stone, and won’t shatter like natural slate.
Euroshield Vermont Slate HP
The world’s first factory-warranted hail-proof roofing. Warranted against hail of any size for the first 20 years, then the standard 2" hail warranty for the next 30. Tested with a 4" simulated hailstone fired at 183 mph.

Euroshield Rubber Roofing — Frequently Asked Questions
What Calgary homeowners ask most about Euroshield rubber roofing.
What is Euroshield rubber roofing?
Euroshield is a premium rubber roofing product made largely from recycled rubber, engineered to look like natural slate or cedar shake while standing up to harsh weather. It's manufactured in Alberta and designed specifically for the kind of hail, wind, and freeze-thaw conditions common across the province. Iron Shield Roofing is a certified installer of Euroshield roofing in the Calgary region.
Is Euroshield roofing good for Calgary's climate?
Yes — Euroshield is exceptionally well suited to Calgary and Alberta because it's built for extreme weather. Its rubber composition gives it strong impact resistance against hail, flexibility through freeze-thaw cycles, and durability in high winds. That combination makes it one of the most resilient roofing options for the region.
How long does a Euroshield roof last?
Euroshield rubber roofing is a long-life product, backed by a strong, long-term limited manufacturer warranty (up to 50 years on many product lines). Its rubber construction resists the cracking, curling, and impact damage that shorten the life of many other materials. With proper installation, it's designed to be one of the last roofs a home will need.
Is Euroshield hail resistant?
Yes — hail resistance is one of Euroshield's biggest strengths. The rubber material is engineered to absorb impact rather than crack or shatter, and it carries the highest (Class 4) impact resistance rating. For hail-prone areas like the Calgary region, that can mean fewer repairs and potential insurance advantages.
Is Euroshield environmentally friendly?
Yes — Euroshield is made largely from recycled rubber, diverting material from landfills and giving it a strong environmental profile compared with many conventional roofing products. It pairs that sustainability with a very long service life, which also reduces long-term waste. It's a popular choice for homeowners who want durability and an eco-conscious option.
What does Euroshield roofing look like?
Euroshield is designed to replicate the look of natural slate and cedar shake, offering the high-end appearance of those materials without their fragility or maintenance demands. It comes in several profiles and colours to suit different home styles. Iron Shield Roofing can show you the options that best fit your home.
How much does a Euroshield roof cost in Calgary?
Euroshield is a premium roofing product, so it generally costs more up front than standard asphalt shingles, with the price depending on your roof's size, slope, complexity, and the profile you choose. Many homeowners weigh that against its long lifespan, hail resistance, and warranty. Iron Shield Roofing provides a detailed, itemized quote after assessing your roof.
Is Euroshield heavy? Will my roof need reinforcement?
Euroshield is relatively lightweight compared with natural slate or concrete tile, so most homes can take it without structural reinforcement. Its manageable weight is one reason it's a practical alternative to heavier slate-look materials. Iron Shield Roofing will confirm suitability for your specific roof during the assessment.
Can Euroshield be installed in winter in Calgary?
Roofing installations are generally best scheduled around suitable weather windows, and Iron Shield Roofing plans the timing and method to ensure a proper Euroshield installation. Emergency repairs can be handled year-round. We'll recommend the best schedule for a durable, warranty-compliant result.
