Three Ways Metal Roofing Can Look More Like Conventional Roofing Materials

If you want to have metal roofing installed on your home, there are many options. You can have standing seam systems installed, or you can use different types of stamped panels and tiles for a roof with a more traditional look. These materials can make your roof look as if it has shingles, shakes, tile, and other more traditional roofing materials. If you want a metal roof with a different look, here are three unique options you may want to ask your roofing contractor about:

1. Stamped Metal Roofing Panels To Create A Spanish Look

Spanish tile roofs are great in dry climates to give homes a Spanish look. They can be a great look for your roof, but are also one of the most costly roofing materials. If you want to have the look of clay tiles at an affordable price, stamped metal roofing panels are a great option. These are roofing panels that look like tiles, and can even have a textured finish on them, which will make your roof appear to have authentic clay tiles. This is even something that can be used to replace asphalt shingles.

2. Metal Roofing Shakes To Give Your Home Handcrafted Look  

Metal roofing shakes are another option for you to have a roof with a more traditional handcrafted look. This can be great to match craftsman-style homes or other styles that feature detailed woodworking. These are stamped from sheet metal and have a finish that looks like real wood shakes. This is a great option if you live in a dry climate and want to have a shake roof. This will make your roof fire-resistant and have the appearance of real shakes. Metal shakes can also be good in wet climates and prevent problems with fungus growth and rotting of the shakes.

3. Metal Roofing Shingles To Create The Look Of Custom Slate  

There are also metal roofing shingles that are made to look like slate roofing. It is something that can be used on homes with a late-Victorian style, or for the restoration of historic homes. This is something that can give you an affordable slate look for your home. If you want your home to have a classic look, there are also decorative roofing shingles that have decorative patterns stamped in them. These products can also be used for restoration of older homes that need to have old metal roofing shingles replaced.

These are some of the metal roofing options that you may want to have installed on your home. If you need help getting a new roof installed on your home, contact a metal roofing contractor and ask them about installing some of these products for your new roof.
