Diamond-stamped Metal Shingles Add Interest to the Roof

20 January 2007

You’ve probably heard that metal roofs are extremely durable and long-lasting, especially compared to less expensive alternatives, but when you think of a metal roof, you may think the style a little ugly, at least on a residential home. I know that many of the metal roofs I’ve seen fall into the ugly category–long sheets of ridged metal that seem more fitting for a shed than a house. You can, however, get shingles that look more traditional.

These diamond-stamped shingles from Follansbee can fit with many styles of homes. As with other metal roof styles, they’re long-lasting (50 years +), and according the company, the steel shingles are made from a higher percentage of recycled materials than asphalt and other roofing options, so you can feel good about the choice.
