It’s steel engineered to look and feel like traditional roofing — with a protective stone granule surface that gives it its distinctive, textured appearance and superior resilience.

What Is Stone Coated Steel?
Premium in Every Way That Matters
Stone coated steel isn’t just durable — it’s the product that ends the compromise between how a roof looks and how long it lasts.
Steel Strength
High-tensile Galvalume steel core resists impact, denting, and structural failure — engineered to outlast every traditional roofing material.
Luxury Appearance
The stone granule surface creates rich, authentic texture — replicating shake, tile, or shingle profiles with a depth no painted metal can achieve.
40–70 Year Lifespan
For most homeowners, this is the last roof they’ll ever install. Stone coated steel outlasts asphalt by 2–3x — often exceeding the life of the mortgage.
Weather Resistance
Engineered to handle hail, wind over 100 mph, fire, and freeze-thaw cycles. The stone coating adds an extra layer of protection against every element.
Low Maintenance
No granule loss, no curling, no cracking. Stone coated steel demands virtually no attention once installed — freeing you from recurring repair costs.
Choose Your Visual Identity
Each style profile is engineered to replicate the authentic look of traditional roofing — at the precision level your home deserves.
Shingle Style
Classic residential look, reimagined in steel
Replicates the familiar dimensional shingle look beloved in traditional neighborhoods. Rows of stone-coated panels create depth and shadow lines — nearly indistinguishable from premium asphalt at street level.
HOA friendly
Classic aesthetic
Multiple colorways
Neighborhood blend
Shake Style
The warmth of cedar, the soul of steel
The texture and character of hand-split cedar shake — without the rot, splitting, and maintenance demands. Rich brown tones and organic variation make each panel genuinely unique. The premium choice for luxury homes.

Tile Style
Mediterranean elegance, engineered for any climate
The timeless elegance of clay or concrete tile — without the weight or fragility. Curved profile panels mimic barrel tile perfectly, bringing Mediterranean character to homes in any climate zone.

Built to Handle Extreme Conditions
Hail Impact
The steel core and stone surface absorb and diffuse hail impact — resisting dents and granule loss that destroy asphalt panels. Class 4 rated.
Wind 100+ mph
Each panel is mechanically fastened and interlocked. No panels lifting, no loose edges. Tested and rated for winds over 100 mph — far exceeding building code minimums.
Fire Resistance
Steel is non-combustible. Stone coated systems earn Class A fire ratings — the highest possible — offering protection that wood shake or asphalt simply cannot provide.
Snow & Ice
The textured stone surface promotes gradual, controlled snow melt — unlike slick metal that sheds dangerously fast. No ice dams, no structural overload.
Honest Cost Comparison
Is It Worth the Cost?
The upfront number is higher. The lifetime story is very different. Here’s what the comparison actually looks like.
Asphalt Shingles
The standard choice
Lower Upfront Cost
More accessible initial investment — easier on short-term budgets.
20–30 Year Lifespan
You’ll likely replace it 2–3 times over a long homeownership period.
Ongoing Maintenance Costs
Granule loss, curling, algae, storm repairs accumulate over time.
Appearance Degrades Over Time
Fading, staining, and granule loss visibly age the roof over years.
Stone Coated Steel
Higher Upfront Investment
Costs more to install — but the economics flip dramatically over a full
homeownership.
40–70 Year Lifespan
Install once. It may genuinely outlast your mortgage — and then some.
Minimal Maintenance — Ever
No granule loss, no re-sealing, no storm patch repairs. Designed to be truly maintenance-free.
