Both Classic Aluminum and Armadura Steel systems outperform traditional asphalt shingles and other cheaper, batten-mounted metal roofs in the Ontario climate. Our systems are designed for maximum wind resistance and longevity. Unlike common ‘exposed fastener’ roofs that rely on screws through the metal, our 4-way locking, direct-to-deck, hidden fastener systems ensure a watertight seal that lasts.

While both options are premium, Classic Aluminum offers superior performance in several key areas. First, it is entirely immune to rust and salt corrosion, making it the ultimate choice for the Ontario environment. Furthermore, if you are specifically looking to cool a hot upstairs or attic, aluminum is the winner. Specific testing verifies that aluminum roofing can cool a home by up to 25%. Because of these unique properties and its extremely high recycled content, aluminum is a more costly investment. However, our Armadura Steel remains a top-tier premium choice. It provides the same 4-way interlocking security and thermal break technology at a more accessible price point than aluminum.
