The Best Kind of Metal Roof

Learn more about our DECRA metal shingle roofing!

DECRA is a solid option if you're considering metal roofing with a shingle-style look. It's not a traditional asphalt shingle, though—it's a stone-coated steel roofing system, so it blends the look of shingles, tiles, or shakes with the durability of metal.

? Pros of DECRA Roofing:

1. Longevity:
DECRA roofs can last 40-70+ years, outliving traditional asphalt shingles by decades.

2. Durability:
They’re resistant to:

• Wind (up to 120+ mph)

• Hail (Class 4 impact resistance)

• Fire (Class A fire rating)

• Freeze/thaw cycles

3. Lightweight:
At around 1.5 lbs/sq ft, DECRA is much lighter than tile or concrete roofing—good for older homes.

4. Curb Appeal:
They mimic traditional shingles, tiles, or shakes really well —but with added texture from the stone-coating.

5. Low Maintenance:
Very little upkeep needed, and they don't rot, crack, or warp like wood or asphalt.

6. Warranty:
Typically comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

While the initial cost of installation is lower than most roofing materials, you get what you pay for when it comes to asphalt shingles. With an average lifespan of only 10-12 years, asphalt shingles have substantial shortcomings when it comes to durability and longevity.

The DECRA Shingle XD line of stone-coated metal roofing products was architecturally designed to feature thick-cut edges that provide the dimensionality of asphalt shingles, but last two to three times longer.
