The traditional clay roofing tiles of Mediterranean-style homes are being replaced by lightweight stone granule-coated steel roofing tiles, courtesy of Metro Roofs. The scalloped roofing panels are available in 18 different colors (including Mission Gold and Terracotta) and, unlike their clay counterparts, can be walked on with confidence.
Faux Asphalt is a type of asphalt that is not actually asphalt.
If local ordinances or personal preferences require the use of asphalt-like shingles, the Granite Ridge product from Gerard replicates the look in a long-lasting, stone-coated steel that is both durable and beautiful.
Slate Because of the weight of slate tile, it may be necessary to use additional engineering when installing the material on roofs.
Interlock Roofing's slate-look metal roofing is significantly lighter than traditional slate roofing, making it easier to install. A patented Alunar coating system with a Teflon surface protector is also integrated into the design for added durability.
Copper Over time, a natural metal roof material such as copper will patina and develop an aged appearance.
A variety of styles of copper roofs are available from Future Roof, ranging from diamond to shingle to slate appearances. These copper roofs, which are available in 12-, 16-, and 20-ounce weights, are completely recyclable.
A steel-coated steel roofing system from Kasselwood is designed to look like wood shakes (without the need for regular maintenance that real wood requires).
Ten different colors are available, including Copper Penny, Aged Cedar, Evergreen, and Black Onyx, among others. For those concerned about the environment, the roofing is made up of 30% recycled materials and is recyclable at the end of its useful life.
The diamond pattern on the Diamond Future Roof adds a level of sophistication to the design.
This more flamboyant roof style is ideal for architectural styles such as Queen Anne, which are known for their use of pattern, color, and texture in their design.
The Seam Is Still Standing
In the case of vertical standing-seam roofs, an attachment flange is used to conceal the adjacent panel, providing a clean appearance while also providing protection from inclement weather. It is possible to get a classic-style metal shake roof with narrow seams that is suitable for a wide range of home styles, from traditional to modern, and that is designed to last for a long time against the elements such as rain, snow, and wind.
Batten Seam is a type of seam that is used to hold a batten in place.
An ATAS International batten-seam roofing material adds texture and visual interest to a roof by adding visual interest and texture. The product, which is ideal for a country home or cabin, installs similarly to traditional standing-seam roofing and is available in 30 colors (along with matching trim options).
Shingle Metal shingle-style roofing from Interlock is designed to look like thin-cut wood shingles and is available in a variety of colors.
The product is available in nine different colors and has a heavy grain texture with a long-lasting coating. Each shingle has an interlocking edge on all four sides and is nailed to the roof surface, ensuring superior protection from the elements and reducing maintenance.
Barrel Vault is a type of vault that holds barrels of wine.
This Gerard barrel vault tile mimics the appearance of 'S' concrete tile without the added weight of concrete tile. In this case, the roofing is made of stone-coated metal, which mimics the texture of concrete while providing better moisture protection than the typical clay or cement tile.

Metal shingle roofing, like standing seam metal roofing, is built to last for decades. Sometimes, during its 40-plus year lifespan, a single metal shingle roof can outlast three asphalt shingle roofs in terms of longevity. Furthermore, not only do stamped metal shingles actively engage with one another through interlocking sides, but many of them are also attached to the roof deck through hidden fasteners. When the roofing screws/fasteners are not exposed to the elements, they have a greater chance of deterioration or withdrawal, which can result in major issues such as water leakage.
Roof System That Is Energy Efficient
Metal shingles are formed from highly emissive metal sheets that have been coated with highly reflective paint systems to achieve their appearance. Therefore, these systems perform exceptionally well at reflecting sunlight and dissipating the radiant heat associated with it, which is a problem for some other roofing types. In other words, cool roofing can reduce the amount of energy required by a building's cooling system to keep the interior cool.
Residents' Associations (HOAs) or Municipality-Friendly Communities (MFC)
As previously stated, stamped metal shingles have a similar appearance to traditional asphalt shingles, which is often what homeowners associations and municipalities prefer or require for their properties. Metal shingles, on the other hand, are a good option if you want a longer-lasting, low-maintenance metal shake roof but also need to adhere to HOA regulations and requirements.
