RARE Manufacturing Products Available Through ROOFNOW™
Permanent roofing can still look like roofing.
RARE Manufacturing develops architectural metal roofing profiles inspired by traditional cedar shake, natural slate and European tile.
Instead of settling for exposed-fastener or industrial-looking metal panels, homeowners can choose roofing designed to preserve the architectural character of the property.
ROOFNOW™ helps Ontario homeowners compare RARE profiles, colours, roof conditions and project requirements before choosing the right system.
Explore RARE Roofing Profiles
Compare the distinctive architectural appearances available through the RARE metal roofing collection before diving deeper into each individual system.
Five systems. Five distinct roofing solutions.
Every profile has its own architectural personality. The images below are matched directly with the RARE roofing system being described.
Ironwood Shake
A cedar-inspired architectural steel roofing profile using an interlocking design with concealed fasteners.
Ironstone Slate
A refined architectural steel roofing profile designed to reproduce the traditional appearance and dimensional character of natural slate.
Heavy Shake
A deeper metal shake profile inspired by heavy-cut cedar. Strong shadow lines create a substantial dimensional appearance across the roof.
European Tile
Traditional European tile architecture recreated in a dimensional steel roofing profile for homeowners who want sweeping roof lines and premium curb appeal.
Ironwood e-Panel™
Photovoltaic roofing engineered to integrate directly with Ironwood Shake, creating a cleaner alternative to traditional rack-mounted solar panels.
Metal strength. Architectural character.
Permanent roofing does not have to sacrifice the shape, texture and visual character homeowners expect from a premium roof.
Distinctive Profiles
Choose shake, slate and tile-inspired roofing rather than a generic metal panel.
Concealed Fastening
Select RARE systems use interlocking hidden-fastener designs for a cleaner finished roof.
Architectural Curb Appeal
Roofing designed to become part of the property’s architecture rather than simply covering it.
Ontario Climate
Metal roofing is well suited to demanding Canadian seasonal conditions.
Long-Term Roofing
A fundamentally different roof lifecycle than repeatedly replacing conventional asphalt shingles.
Solar Integration
Ironwood e-Panel™ combines photovoltaic generation with the architectural roofing system.
A roofing decision measured in decades.
RARE Manufacturing backs its metal roofing with long-term warranty protection designed around the idea that premium roofing should remain a lasting property investment.
Request RARE Roofing InformationThe solar system becomes part of the roof.
Rather than placing a large rack of photovoltaic equipment over a finished roof, Ironwood e-Panel™ integrates solar technology directly into the Ironwood Shake roofing system.
The result is a cleaner roofline where renewable-energy generation and architectural roofing are designed to work together.
Ontario weather doesn’t give roofs an easy life.
Ontario roofs can experience winter snow, ice, wind-driven rain, summer heat, UV exposure and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Roofing materials should be selected with the entire environment in mind.
