IKO Launches IKO Metals, Brings DECRA Stone-Coated Steel Roofing into North American Portfolio

DECRA Farmhouse Shake

Brampton, Ontario, CAN – At this year's Western Roofing Expo in Las Vegas, IKO North America officially launched IKO Metals, bringing DECRA’s stone-coated steel roofing portfolio under the IKO Metals brand. DECRA, a long-established brand in stone-coated steel roofing, became part of IKO through its 2018 acquisition of Roof Tile Group. The launch portfolio, DECRA by IKO Metals, includes three profiles inspired by traditional tile and shake, combining the look of traditional roofing materials with the strength and durability of stone-coated steel.

The launch builds on IKO’s investment in metal roofing, including the opening last year of its $60 million, 205,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Ennis, Texas.

“The launch portfolio gives IKO a foundation to serve customers looking for the distinctive appearance of tile and shake without moving away from the performance characteristics of steel. These three profiles are the first step in expanding IKO’s metal roofing offering,” said Vince Carrier, Product Development Manager, IKO North America.

Available across the U.S. and Canada, the launch portfolio gives homeowners, contractors and distributors new design options in a steel roofing system. It includes:

● Mediterranean Tile features a low-profile, scalloped design that carries the aesthetic of Old-World clay tile in stone-coated steel.

● Farmhouse Shake features the wide profile and textured appearance of hand-split cedar shake, recreated in stone-coated steel with deep shadow lines.

● Spanish Tile features the sweeping curves and timeless character of Spanish clay tile in stone-coated steel.

“DECRA has nearly 40 years of experience in stone-coated steel roofing, this launch builds on that foundation,” said Scott Campbell, Vice President, Sales, U.S., IKO.  “These new profiles combine that experience with IKO’s proprietary roofing granules, updated colors and designs that are easier to install. And they’re just the beginning of what we’re building in metal.”

All IKO Metals roofs have a Class 4 impact-resistance rating, the highest level of impact resistance, a Class A fire rating and are designed to withstand freeze-thaw conditions. They are backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty providing warranty coverage and warranted coverage for wind speeds of up to 120 mph and hailstones up to 2.5 inches in diameter.
