This ski chalet metal roofing project highlights a premium aluminum roofing installation designed for harsh mountain conditions. Located in the heart of Ontario’s Blue Mountains ski region, this alpine ski chalet required a roofing solution that could withstand extreme winter conditions while preserving its rustic character.
The owners chose Classic Products Roofing Systems, a trusted leader in metal roofing in Ontario, to replace their aging cedar shake roof with a long-lasting, high-performance metal roofing system.
Ski Chalet Metal Roofing Project Overview
The Challenge
Cedar shake roofing offers a traditional look, but it struggles in harsh mountain climates. Heavy snowfall, ice buildup, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles had taken a toll on the original roof.
The chalet needed a roofing system that would:
- Handle heavy snow loads and ice shedding
- Resist moisture and long-term weather damage
- Maintain the classic chalet appearance
- Reduce ongoing maintenance and repairs
The Solution
Our team installed Classic Aluminum Rustic Shingle roofing in Shake Gray, a premium metal roofing product designed specifically for durability in Canadian climates.
This system delivers the appearance of cedar shake while providing the superior performance of aluminum metal roofing.
Key benefits include:
- Exceptional weather resistance
Aluminum metal roofing sheds snow easily and resists moisture, making it ideal for Ontario’s winter conditions. - Long-term durability
Unlike cedar or asphalt, aluminum will not rot, crack, or deteriorate, providing decades of reliable protection. - Authentic rustic appearance
The Shake Gray finish closely replicates the look of traditional cedar, preserving the chalet’s alpine aesthetic.
The Result
The completed metal roof enhances both the performance and appearance of the ski chalet. The property now benefits from a maintenance-free roofing system built to last, while maintaining the warm, rustic charm expected of a mountain retreat.
This project is a great example of why metal roofing is a smart choice for ski chalets, cottages, and mountain homes throughout Ontario. Metal roofing is an ideal solution for ski properties, and this metal roofing installation demonstrates how durability and design can work together.
