Many people gazing at a home or commercial office building, with what appears to be a shaker style, ceramic tile, or slate roof, may not realize that they are looking at metal shingle roofs instead. Anyone hesitating to purchase a slate roof, due to its fragility, a cedar shingle roof, due to its poor performance in certain climates, or a ceramic roof, with its potential to crack in a freeze/thaw environment, may want to consider a metal roof, instead.
There are many commercial roofs that have a low pitch or extremely steep pitch that is extremely difficult to waterproof and work on. These roof-lines create a significant space for heat loss or solar heat gain making them a major point of inefficiency in homes and apartment buildings.
