Protection and Energy Savings for Your Roof, with a History of Beauty and Value

In 1980, Classic Metal Roofing Systems purchased its first two products from Kaiser Aluminum in Toledo, Ohio-Rustic Shingle and Rough Shake. Rustic immediately became the company’s flagship product and has been ever since. After 60 years of existence and 40 years with Classic, Rustic Shingle has been proven on over 100,000,000 square feet of roofing around the world. It is quite likely residential roofing’s most proven and longest-running product.

Homeowners who choose traditional roofing materials such as shingles or wood shakes always face the inevitable reality that one day those products will split, rot, and mold. Rustic Shingle allows you to enjoy the beautiful aesthetics as unique as your home without compromising the integrity of your roof. Rustic Shingle’s combination of distinctive looks and indisputable benefits creates a roof system that will protect your home from all of life’s challenges – whether a severe windstorm or rising energy costs.

Since 1959: Rustic Shingle

What makes Rustic a better metal shingle?

Many metal roofs have what are called “exposed” or “through” fasteners, meaning the heads of the screws are visible on the roof. Even though the screws have neoprene washers and cap heads, there are still actually thousands of holes through the roof’s surface. As the metal panels expand and contract with temperature changes, the metal pulls against each fastener, and the holes around the fasteners become even larger. Eventually, the fasteners loosen over time, threatening the roof’s wind resistance and creating a risk of leaks around the enlarged, exposed fastener holes.

Rustic Shingle, by comparison, has concealed fasteners. Installed similarly to standard shingles, each successive layer of roofing covers the fasteners that secure the previous layer. The four-way interlock between the panels holds them securely one to the next while allowing for the metal’s natural thermal expansion and contraction with no pulling or fatigue of the fasteners. Rustic Shingle roof fasteners are invisible and do not loosen or lead to leaks over time, protecting your home from rain, snow, sleet, and wind.
