The Historic Lalor Estate is a distinguished heritage property located in Dunnville, Ontario, requiring a roofing solution that carefully balances historic authenticity with modern durability. To achieve this balance, the homeowners selected Classic Products Roofing Systems, a recognized leader in metal roofing in Ontario, to design and install a long-lasting metal roof that preserves the estate’s original character.
Project Challenges
Like many historic properties across Ontario, the Lalor Estate’s original roof had endured decades of exposure to harsh weather conditions. Years of snow, ice, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles had taken their toll, making roof replacement unavoidable.
The primary challenges included:
- Preserving the estate’s historic architectural details
- Replicating the appearance of the original slate roof
- Protecting the structure from Ontario’s extreme weather
- Preventing ice and snow-related damage
- Providing a durable, low-maintenance roofing solution
Our Solution: Premium Steel Interlocking Metal Roof
To address these challenges, Classic Products Roofing Systems installed a steel interlocking metal roof manufactured by Armadura Metal Roof. The homeowners selected premium Armadura steel in the Harvest Mountain Slate, specifically chosen to mimic the appearance of the original slate roof while delivering modern performance.
This advanced metal roofing system was selected for several key reasons:
- Authentic Slate Appearance
The Harvest Mountain Slate finish closely replicates the texture, depth, and visual character of traditional slate roofing, making it ideal for heritage properties in Ontario. - Exceptional Durability
Premium Armadura steel is engineered to withstand heavy snow loads, ice buildup, high winds, and extreme temperature fluctuations common across Ontario. - Low Maintenance Performance
Unlike natural slate, steel metal roofing resists cracking, rot, and deterioration, significantly reducing ongoing maintenance requirements.
By combining traditional aesthetics with modern materials, this project demonstrates why metal roofing in Ontario is an excellent solution for heritage estates and high-value homes.
