Metal Roofing Styles
Metal roofings styles are not limited to the standing seam metal roofing profiles of many commercial buildings, barns, and farmhouses of yesteryear. Metal roof styles include shingle profiles that resemble cedar shake, dimensional / architectural roofing shingles, european or clay tiles and even slate roofing.
How Do I Choose the Best Metal Roofing Style?
Metal roofing styles are chosen to suit the architectural style of the building. Although standing seam metal roofing profiles look great on many residential homes, agricultural buildings and commercial buildings a wood shake style (view Guilford’s Ironwood shake metal roofing profile) may look best on a craftsman style home and Guilford’s Ironstone Slate may be the solution to achieve a sleek, smooth roof line, for a modern style building. Each metal roofing style can achieve a completely different look when applied.
Regardless of metal roofing styles or metal roof profiles you choose the result will be a striking, attractive and roof that will impress for a lifetime.
Following are examples of metal roofing styles from completed metal roofing installations by Guilford’s Metal Roofing team throughout mid-Michigan.
