Ironwood Shake & Tile Ltd. offers three different profiles of metal roofing. All of these profiles are smaller panels, not long sheet form. This feature is very important when it comes to changing weather conditions, as the temperature variations do not cause expansion and contraction problems like they can with long panels.
All of our profiles are made from pre-painted metal. All the flashing is made from exactly the same pre-painted metal to avoid any chemical conflict during weathering.
Within our three profiles, two of them are very similar in design features but were made to look very different. These two are the European Tile and the Heavy Shake profiles. Both of these profiles are designed to install over a 2 x 2 batten system on 16 inch centers, which is a big advantage when installing on a non-walkable or steep-sloped roof (i.e. over 36.5 degrees). Both profiles are installed from ridge to eave and therefore have other benefits such as ease of replacing individual panels should damage occur by a fallen tree for example. Also the 2 x 2 batten system can be installed over most existing roofs, which allows for adequate venting between roof layers. The Heavy Shake profile is designed to look like a slate roof and comes in three standard colours, plus a painted copper colour. We are able to accommodate special requests for 16 oz. Copper as well.

Copper as well.

Within our three profiles, one stands out as the more popular and economical choice for the average mid-sloped (i.e. under 36 degrees) home. This is the Ironwood Shake profile. This profile is installed directly onto either a solid sheeted deck or partially filled in skip sheathing. It can be installed directly over asphalt as well. It is an interlocking system with hidden fasteners and is less costly and easier to install than our other two profiles. The Ironwood Shake profile was made to look like cedar shakes and is available in four colour choices.
