Product Summary
DECRA is the original stone-coated metal roof made right here in the U.S. Neither traditional roofing materials nor imitation metal roofing products can match the strength of DECRA’s stone-coated steel, and we back our products with the industry's best warranty.
Construction and Materials
DECRA Roofing Systems offers a range of durable and aesthetically pleasing roofing solutions primarily constructed from stone-coated steel. This innovative approach combines the strength and longevity of steel with the classic visual appeal of traditional roofing materials like shingles, tiles, and shakes.
The core of DECRA's product is a high-grade steel substrate. This steel is typically galvanized steel, which provides a robust base resistant to corrosion. Over this steel base, a protective acrylic coating is applied. This coating acts as a barrier against the elements and serves as a binder for the granular stone chips.
The distinctive look of DECRA roofing comes from the application of specially graded natural stone chips. These chips are deeply embedded into the acrylic coating, creating a textured surface that mimics the appearance of various roofing styles. The combination of the steel core, acrylic coating, and stone chips results in a roofing system that is both strong and visually appealing.
Key construction and material elements include:
- Steel Substrate: A core of high-grade, often galvanized, steel forms the structural foundation of each roofing panel.
- Acrylic Coating: A specialized acrylic layer is applied over the steel to protect it and to adhere the stone granules.
- Natural Stone Granules: Carefully selected and graded natural stone chips are embedded into the acrylic coating to provide the desired aesthetic and texture.
- Interlocking Design: DECRA panels are designed with an interlocking system that ensures a secure and weather-tight installation, providing enhanced resistance to wind and water penetration.
- Corrosion Resistance: The galvanized steel, combined with the protective coatings, offers significant resistance to rust and corrosion.
- Fire Resistance: The non-combustible nature of the steel and stone components contributes to a high level of fire resistance.
- Impact Resistance: The multi-layered construction provides considerable resistance to impact from hail and other debris.
DECRA roofing systems are engineered to provide a long-lasting and low-maintenance alternative to conventional roofing materials, offering a combination of performance and style.
Features and Benefits
DECRA Roofing Systems offers a revolutionary approach to roofing, combining the timeless beauty of traditional roofing materials with the unparalleled durability of stone-coated steel. Designed to withstand the harshest elements and enhance the aesthetic appeal of any home, DECRA roofing provides a long-lasting, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient solution for discerning homeowners.
The core advantage of DECRA roofing lies in its advanced multi-layered construction. Each tile begins with a high-tensile steel substrate, providing inherent strength and structural integrity. This steel is then coated with a protective layer of acrylic resin, acting as a base for the final stone chip aggregate. The stone chips, permanently bonded to the steel, offer exceptional protection against UV rays, impact, and fire. Finally, a translucent ceramic sealant is applied, ensuring color consistency and further enhancing the material's resilience.
