1020 Rundleview Dr, Canmore | Iron Wood Shake Metal Roof Project
This home in Canmore, Alberta was completed with an Iron Wood Shake metal roof in a dark brown finish, offering the warm, natural look of wood shake combined with the durability of steel. The colour blends seamlessly with the surrounding forested landscape and mountain architecture common in the Bow Valley.
The roofing system was fully installed to meet the demands of mountain weather conditions, including heavy snow loads, ice buildup, and strong downslope winds. Special attention was given to roof geometry, ridges, and transitions to ensure proper shedding of snow and water while maintaining a clean, precise finish.
For homeowners in Canmore and nearby mountain communities, this project demonstrates why Iron Wood Shake metal roofing is a strong long-term choice. It delivers reliable protection, low maintenance, and a timeless appearance — well suited for Alberta homes exposed to some of the province’s most challenging climates.

IronWood Shake Metal Shingles
The development of IronWood Shake metal shingle roofing marks a significant advancement in residential roofing technology. These metal shingle roofs capture the dimensional beauty of cedar shake while eliminating the persistent maintenance issues associated with wooden materials. Through precision engineering and advanced manufacturing processes, each panel replicates the natural variation and texture of wood shake with remarkable authenticity. The significance of proper metal shingle roof installation becomes evident in the system’s performance – these panels create an impenetrable barrier against moisture while allowing appropriate ventilation and thermal movement.
The metal roof shingles installation process integrates multiple protective layers: a high-grade steel core, corrosion-resistant coating, and specialized surface treatments that preserve both functionality and appearance. This comprehensive protection system ensures that IronWood Shake maintains its structural integrity and appearance through decades of exposure to severe weather conditions, from intense UV radiation to heavy snow loads and driving rain.
