Greg Booth Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 While watching everyone's favorite?? construction sleuth, Mike Holmes, I observed a roofing material that was new to me. It is a simulated architectural shingle made of of metal-aluminum or galvanized-consists of about three courses in height and maybe three feet in length. It locks-in similar to vinyl siding and it has a granulated surface. It uses a proprietary valley flashing component. Any comments or experience with this material? Thanks, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I don't watch much TV, but it's probably a product called called stone-coated steel roof panels. Google Decra roofing - they originated the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 It's actually quite promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Booth Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks for the information-this looks like the material. The weight of the panels, would make it a good choice for re-roof. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caryseidner Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I was working for a roofing contractor about 15 years ago, and we put down about 30 of those roofs. Most of them were for Taco Bell, so they were pretty small jobs with few details and penetrations. They are really good roofs and very durable, but like any roofing system the devil is in the details. I remember this one guy who wanted us to install them on his house. There was a pretty large mansard section and he chose a blue tile. I betcha he's sick of that color by now![:-crazy] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnnaPresley Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Guys I have consulted a roofing company that told me about polyurethane foam roofing. They said polyurethane renders the foam to be quite versatile in application. It can be bent, shaped and used over all kinds of roofs. Can you guys gimme some suggestions?
