One of our featured metal and composite upgrades — a primary offering, not an on-request exception.
DECRA Shake XD
DECRA Shake XD is a stone-coated steel panel built to look like cedar shake — Class 4 impact resistance, a 50-year warranty, and none of the maintenance real wood shake needs.
Minnesota performance
How DECRA Shake XD performs in Minnesota
Stone-coated steel sheds snow the way standing seam does, but the shake-profile panel adds texture and shadow lines that flat metal doesn't have. The stone coating resists chipping from hail up to golf-ball size, and the steel substrate underneath won't crack, split, or rot the way real cedar shake does over a Minnesota winter. Lightweight at roughly 1.25 to 1.5 pounds per square foot, it also puts less load on older roof framing than natural shake or slate.
