What is a Metal Shingle Roof?

A metal shingle roof combines the look of traditional shingles with the durability and performance of metal. Despite their name, metal shingles aren’t technically shingles; they are interlocking panels designed to mimic the appearance of asphalt, cedar shakes, or slate tiles. This structure provides superior protection against weather and enhances the roof’s overall longevity. Metal shingles offer homeowners a roofing option that’s aesthetically pleasing and built to last.

A metal shingle roof from EDCO Products perfectly blends the traditional charm of shingles with the enduring qualities of metal. Unlike purely functional metal roofs of the past, today's metal shingles offer sophisticated styles that enhance the architectural beauty of any home while providing unmatched durability and performance.

The Weather-Resistant Choice

For homeowners in regions prone to severe weather, metal shingles offer a compelling choice. They withstand conditions that wear down asphalt shingles, such as heavy rain, hail, and extreme sunlight. EDCO's metal roofing products excel in the most challenging conditions, featuring UL Class 4 impact resistance—the highest rating available—protecting against hail damage and proven wind resistance up to 160 mph. When installed with fire-resistant decking materials, EDCO roofing achieves a Class A fire rating. Metal shingles maintain their integrity over decades, significantly reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs.

Durable and Stylish Modern Roofing

EDCO’s metal shingles are available in various finishes and designs that replicate the appearance of classic roofing materials like cedar shakes or slate tiles. This ensures every homeowner can find a style that complements their home's architecture while benefiting from the unmatched durability of metal. Additionally, they offer exceptional compatibility with board and batten or metal siding, creating a cohesive and visually striking home exterior. Beyond aesthetics, these shingles provide environmental benefits by reflecting solar heat, reducing cooling costs, and lowering energy consumption. Their lightweight nature also makes them ideal for a variety of structures without the need for additional support.

Adding Value with Sustainable Roofing

Choosing an EDCO metal shingle roof means adding lasting value to your home while offering the advantage of sustainability. These roofs are built to last, with a life expectancy far exceeding traditional materials. They resist moss and algae growth, are fire resistant, and are 100% recyclable at the end of their lifecycle. This combination of durability and environmental friendliness makes metal shingles a cost-effective and responsible choice.
