What Are Metal Roofs?
Metal roofs are a unique part of Canada’s history. The first metal roofing systems were designed for industrial and agricultural purposes. You might recognize the classic glint of a metal farm roof from drives in the countryside, or find blocks of shining metal roofs in industrial or shipping districts. Metal roofs are a subtle part of our national identity.
Early metal roofs were engineered with farms, storehouses, plants, warehouses, and other working buildings in mind. These systems are easy to install and maintain, which makes them perfect for small farms and businesses centuries in the past. Farmers and business owners knew they could rely on a metal roof for decades of performance without constant repairs or replacements.
Today’s metal roofs build on long traditions of performance. Metal roofs remain smart choices for commercial buildings. Many Edmonton residents are also adding a unique appearance to their homes with metal roofs.
A metal roof can give any home a sense of rugged, rustic performance, no matter where it’s located. Whether your family lives in one of Edmonton’s bustling neighbourhoods or further outside of town, a metal roof makes a unique statement. And since these systems are available in a range of vibrant colours, you can find the perfect accent to your architecture, landscaping, and general home design.
How Are Metal Roofs Made?
All metal roofs are based around a thick layer of steel. Steel is an iron alloy that’s been used for thousands of years for its strength and relative lightweight. Steel weapons, tools, and building materials have been found that are older than recorded history in some areas. This type of metal is a traditional choice for anything that needs to provide decades of reliable service.
Metal roofs start with steel, but they don’t stop there. All of our metal roofing systems feature multiple other protective layers. Some roofs use steel coated in galvalume, a mix of zinc, aluminum, and silicon. This special blend offers extra strength, water protection, and resilience to your roof. Other roofing systems feature a galvanized steel base.
Next, all sides of the metal roofing shingle are coated in more extra protective layers. Materials like pre-treatments, epoxy, sealants, dyes, polyvinylidene fluoride, and silicone-modified polyester resin are added to the front and back of metal shingles. These layers provide water resistance, strength, flexibility, and vibrant colours to your roof.
We also offer stone-coated metal shingles that deliver the traditional look of slate and other stone roofs while providing the durable performance of steel.

METAL ROOFING SHINGLES
Metal roofing shingles are a versatile option that provides amazing protection for any building. Metal shingles feature thick steel plates that are coated in multiple layers of industrial-strength protectants. These systems can withstand serious snowfall and ice storms, making them ideal for any Edmonton project. Metal shingles are also low-maintenance so you can enjoy years of worry-free protection
STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING PANELS
These metal systems feature long panels instead of individual shingles. Panels are designed with raised or standing seams at regular intervals. These raised portions create an uneven roofing surface that resists ice and snow accumulation. You can avoid winter weather damage and create a striking visual appearance with standing-seam roofing systems.
STONE-COATED STEEL ROOFING SHINGLES
Stone-coated metal shingles use the same strong steel base as other metal roofing options. The main distinction to this product is in its appearance. These systems are coated in flakes of real stone to create the classic look of a slate roof. Stone-covered shingles are the perfect solution if you crave the traditional look of a stone roof but also need the proven reliability of steel.
