 Within our three profiles, two of them are very similar in design features but were made to look very different. These two are the European Tile and Heavy Shake profiles.

Both of these profiles are designed to install over a 2 x 2 batten system, Heavy Shake installs on 12.5 inch centers, which is a big advantage when installing on a non-walkable or steep-sloped roof (i.e. over 36.5 degrees). Both profiles are installed from ridge to eave and therefore have other benefits such as ease of replacing individual panels should damage occur by a fallen tree for example.

The 2 x 2 batten system can be installed over most existing roofs, which allows for adequate venting between roof layers. 

The Heavy Shake profile is designed to look like heavy cut cedar shakes and is available in a variety of colour choices. 

Minimum slope is 3/12 (14 degrees).

 Within our three profiles, two of them are very similar in design features but were made to look very different. These two are the European Tile and Heavy Shake profiles. 

Both of these profiles are designed to install over a 2 x 2 batten system, European Tile installs on 16 inch centers, which is a big advantage when installing on a non-walkable or steep-sloped roof (i.e. over 36.5 degrees). Both profiles are installed from ridge to eave and therefore have other benefits such as ease of replacing individual panels should damage occur by a fallen tree for example. 

The 2 x 2 batten system can be installed over most existing roofs, which allows for adequate venting between roof layers. 

The European Tile profile is designed 

to look like a clay tile roof and is 

available in a variety of colour choices. 

Minimum slope is 3/12 (14 degrees). 

 This profile was designed in-house by Rare and is intended to simulate the look of old world slate. It is made using the same base metal as our other roofing products. 

It is an interlocking, hidden fastener system, just like our Ironwood Shake.  

The hip/ridge cap on this profile is also interlocking and each cap covers the fasteners on the previously installed cap.

Minimum slope requirements are 3 in 12. 

This profile is installed directly onto either a solid sheeted deck or partially filled in skip sheathing. It can be installed directly over asphalt as well, depending on local building codes. The IronStone Slate product is available in a variety of colour choices as shown below.

 Within our three profiles, one stands out as the more popular and economical choice for the average home (minimum slope 3/12 – 14 degrees). This is the Ironwood Shake profile. This profile is installed directly onto either a solid sheeted deck or partially filled in skip sheathing. It can be installed directly over asphalt as well. It is an interlocking system with hidden fasteners and is less costly and easier to install than our other two profiles. Our Ironwood Shake profile was made to resemble cedar shakes and is available in a variety of colour choices.
