1115 Colborne Crescent SW, Calgary – Copper Roof Accents

This home in Calgary’s SW received custom copper accents to highlight key architectural areas of the roof. The entry canopy, dormers, and perimeter details were finished with hand-formed copper panels, built and fitted on site to match the curved and stepped shapes of the design.

These accents bring a warm, high-end look to the exterior and pair well with the home’s existing roofing materials. Copper is commonly used on luxury homes in Alberta because it performs well in our climate, develops a natural patina over time, and creates a strong visual focal point without replacing the entire roof system.

This project showcases precise metalwork and attention to detail on the decorative sections of the roof.

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.
IronStone Slate Metal Roofing

IronStone Slate represents the culmination of extensive research in metal shingle roofing, delivering the prestigious appearance of natural slate without its inherent limitations. This innovative roof metal shingles system achieves the depth and character of quarried slate through advanced manufacturing techniques that create authentic-looking profiles and natural color variations. The shingle metal roof design incorporates sophisticated water-channeling systems and precise overlapping mechanisms, ensuring complete weather protection while maintaining the traditional appearance of individual slate tiles.

Professional metal shingle roofing installation is crucial for optimal performance, as these systems require precise alignment and proper integration with the roof’s ventilation and drainage components. Unlike natural slate, IronStone Slate metal roof shingles provide superior impact resistance and maintain their protective capabilities across extreme temperature variations. This advanced system eliminates the structural concerns associated with traditional slate, offering the same refined appearance in a lightweight format suitable for standard residential construction. The result is a roofing system that delivers exceptional performance and distinguished aesthetics, backed by warranty protection that underscores its long-term value.
