Has your roof needed a lot of repairs lately? Are you tired of putting in the money and effort? If so, you should invest in metal roofing. Metal shingles last decades, look pretty and are fire resistant. They are well worth the money and effort.

1. 6 TYPES OF METAL
SHINGLES FOR
YOUR ROOF

2. WHAT ARE METAL SHINGLES?
 Metal shingles are becoming a much more popular roofing
material choice because of how long they last. Typically, roofs
are made of wood shingles or of asphalt/fiberglass
combination shingles.
 These types of shingles tend to warp and leak only after a
decade or two. Plus, they aren’t as durable against harsh
weather conditions, while metal can withstand even fires.
 The following slides outline the six most common metal
shingles used for roofs:

3. 1. ALUMINUM SHINGLES
 Aluminum shingles are perfect for those who are a little more
budget conscious. They come in a variety of colors and the
paint can last up to 40 years.

4. 2. STEEL SHINGLES
 If aluminum shingles are af fordable, then steel shingles are a
downright “steal.” Almost anyone can af ford them because
they are quick and easy to produce and still extremely durable
and long lasting. They also come in a variety of colors and you
can even custom-make your own colors.

5. 3. STAINLESS STEEL SHINGLES
 Ultra-permanent and utterly striking, stainless steel shingles
are a great option for those who want to make more of an
aesthetic statement.
 People who live on the coast would love these shingles
because they are highly resistant to salt spray, extreme
weather conditions and pollutants.

6. 4. ZINC SHINGLES
 With a clean, contemporary
look, zinc shingles look
classic no matter what the
era. They have actually been
used for centuries in
traditional building and are
still withstanding time.

following colors:

7. 5. COPPER SHINGLES
 Copper shingles are perhaps the most beautiful of all shingle
types. They produce an aesthetically breathtaking ef fect when
properly installed and are 100% maintenance free.
 The also come in a variety of finishes, such as the following:
 Chemically treated copper (to produce different colors)
 Oxidized copper (brown)
 Pre-patinated copper (teal green)

8. 6. COPPER-CLAD STAINLESS SHINGLES
 These particular shingles are created by rolling copper and
stainless steel together in thin strips. You basically get the
best of both worlds: The strength of stainless steel and the
beauty and patina of copper. Plus, it’s a little cheaper
because it’s not purely copper.

9. HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?
 Choosing a metal shingle to
install on your roof with metal
roofing supplies depends on
how much money you are
willing to spend.
 If you have a smaller budget,
aluminum and steel are your
best options. If you’re going
more for durability AND
striking beauty, copper or
copper-clad stainless shingles
are your best bets.
