Stone Coated Steel
What is Stone Coated Steel Roofing? A Premium Upgrade for Your Home
Stone-coated steel roofing represents the pinnacle of modern roofing materials, combining incredible durability and longevity with breathtaking beauty. This innovative metal roofing solution starts with lightweight, high-strength steel panels coated with a thick acrylic primer. Stone granules are then embedded into an acrylic resin coating, creating incredibly realistic textures and colors that mimic traditional clay tiles, quarried slate, cedar shakes, and more. The result is a roofing system that provides outstanding protection and superior performance while drastically enhancing your home’s curb appeal.

Unmatched Performance Benefits
While beauty is the first thing that strikes you about stone-coated steel roofing, its incredible performance and protection benefits make it a superior choice to other roofing materials.
The scorching heat, intense sunlight, and wildfire risks that come with living in Arizona’s desert climate can utterly punish a home’s roof. That’s why stone-coated steel roofing is ideal for residential and commercial properties across the Grand Canyon State.
Engineers design these roof tiles with specialized coatings that reflect rather than absorb the sun’s powerful rays. This highly reflective technology, combined with the air space between the steel panels and roof deck, maximizes energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer into the building’s interior. The result is significantly lower cooling costs and environmental impact.
In addition to battling the desert heat, stone-coated steel roofing also features premium UV-resistant coatings. These protect the vibrant stone granule finishes from fading, chalking, or degradation caused by Arizona’s harsh sunlight exposure over decades. Your roof will maintain its gorgeous beauty with minimal maintenance.
Perhaps the most significant benefit is the unsurpassed fire resistance stone-coated steel provides. With its Class A fire rating and noncombustible steel construction, these roofs will not ignite from radiant heat or flying embers – two of the biggest threats wildfires pose to homes. Stone-coated steel roofing is an exceptional safeguard for protecting your most significant investment in Arizona’s wildfire-prone regions.
When winter arrives in Minnesota, it brings a force of nature few other climates can match. Heavy snow loads, driving ice storms, powerful winds, and deep freeze temperatures capable of cracking lesser roofing materials are the norm. That’s why stone-coated steel roofing perfectly suits the harsh North Star State winters.
Engineered to meet the highest performance standards, stone-coated steel roofing is certified with Class 4 impact resistance – one of the highest ratings possible. Homeowners can rest easy knowing their roofs can withstand punishing hailstorms and impact from ice chunks and other windborne debris without cracking or deterioration.
The unique design of stone-coated steel roofing also helps prevent ice dams from forming. An air space between the waterproof underlayment and steel tiles allows airflow to flush away the snow and ice that can wreak havoc on other roof types.
With an aluminum-zinc alloy steel core and specialized acrylic stone coatings, these roofs are impervious to Minnesota’s bitter cold. Even when temperatures plummet to Arctic extremes of -20°F or below, the roofing’s flexibility prevents cracking, peeling, or other degradation that plagues wood, asphalt, and other materials.
No matter what winter throws its way, Vertex Roofing’s stone-coated steel roofing protects Minnesota homes and businesses with a fierce strength that few other materials can match. Be ready for storm season with the power of steel.
