Imitation without limitations
Whether you’re looking for a slate, tile, shingle or cedar shake look, Vicwest has a stone coated steel roof profile to match. A stone coated steel roof looks just like the real thing, yet it is more economical to install and also more durable, with none of the structural drawbacks. It also provides fire resistance and superior protection against extreme weather conditions.With traditional roofing materials such as asphalt or “composition” shingles, re-roofing may be required every 10 to 15 years – or even sooner! By comparison, a stone coated steel roof, which carries a limited lifetime warranty, could very well be the last roof you will ever buy.
