Iron Wood Shake metal roofing – Simpson’s Num-Ti-Jah Lodge in Lake Louise
This Iron Wood Shake metal roofing project at Simpson’s Num-Ti-Jah Lodge in Lake Louise was completed with a strong focus on durability, architectural character, and performance in extreme alpine conditions. Located in one of Alberta’s most demanding climates, the roof was designed to handle heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, and high winds while maintaining a distinctive lodge-style appearance.
The Iron Wood Shake profile provides the classic look of cedar shake while delivering the long-term advantages of metal roofing. The red colour was carefully selected to complement the lodge’s mountain setting and historic character, while premium flashings, trims, and ventilation components were custom-fabricated to suit the complex roof geometry and multiple dormers.
At Renoteck, we understand the unique challenges of roofing in the Rocky Mountains. This project reflects our commitment to high-end metal roofing solutions built specifically for Alberta’s harsh conditions—combining craftsmanship, premium materials, and proven installation practices to ensure long-term protection and reliability for iconic properties like this one.

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.
