Ironwood Shake Metal Roofing
Ironwood Shake is one of RARE Manufacturing’s most popular and economical metal roofing systems for residential homes. Designed to recreate the warm, dimensional appearance of traditional cedar shakes, this architectural steel roofing profile delivers timeless curb appeal without the splitting, rotting and ongoing maintenance associated with natural wood shakes.
With a minimum roof slope of 3:12 (approximately 14°), Ironwood Shake offers flexible installation options for both new construction and roof-replacement projects. Depending on the condition of the existing roof and local building requirements, the system can be installed over:
- A solid sheeted roof deck
- Partially filled-in skip sheathing
- An existing asphalt-shingle roof
This installation flexibility can help reduce preparation requirements and make Ironwood Shake a practical, cost-effective permanent roofing solution for many homes.
Interlocking Panels with Concealed Fasteners
Ironwood Shake is engineered as an interlocking metal roofing system with hidden fasteners. Once installed, the fastening points are concealed beneath the adjoining panels, creating a clean, uninterrupted appearance while helping protect the fasteners from direct exposure to rain, snow, wind and other outside elements.
Its straightforward installation design makes Ironwood Shake simpler and more economical to install than more complex roofing profiles while still delivering the strength, weather protection and distinctive appearance expected from a RARE metal roof.
