ROOFNOW Metal Roofing Systems, Profiles and Paint Finishes

ROOFNOW specializes in professionally installed permanent steel roofing systems for Ontario homes and qualifying commercial properties. The product range includes slate metal roofing, shake metal roofing, standing seam metal roofing, steel shingles, tile-inspired steel roofing and selected integrated solar roofing. ROOFNOW helps property owners compare the complete system: steel thickness, metallic substrate coating, exterior paint finish, panel or shingle design, fastening method, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, snow management, workmanship and written warranty protection.

26-Gauge to 28-Gauge Steel Systems

ROOFNOW offers high-strength steel metal roofing systems within the 26-gauge to 28-gauge range. The exact gauge depends on the manufacturer, roofing profile, panel engineering and project requirements. Gauge is only one part of performance; the steel coating, panel geometry, fastening system, roof deck, flashings and installation quality must work together as a complete roof assembly.

WeatherXL™ Crinkle Paint Finishes

Sherwin-Williams® WeatherXL™ Crinkle Finish is a factory-applied, textured silicone-modified polyester (SMP) coil coating used on qualifying metal roofing products. Its low-gloss crinkle texture redirects light to add visual depth and can make the roof surface appear more dimensional than a conventional smooth finish. WeatherXL Crinkle is designed for exterior metal roofing with resistance to chalking, fading, scratching and demanding weather exposure.

ROOFNOW’s promoted crinkle metal roofing colours include Crinkle Black, Crinkle Brown and Crinkle Grey. Final colour, texture, coating specification and availability must be confirmed using the selected manufacturer’s current physical sample and written product documentation.

PVDF and Kynar 500® Coatings

ROOFNOW also offers qualifying metal roofing products with premium PVDF coating options. Kynar 500® is Arkema’s PVDF resin brand used by licensed coating manufacturers in high-performance factory-applied architectural finishes. Properly specified Kynar 500 PVDF resin-based coatings are selected for long-term weatherability, UV resistance, colour retention and resistance to exterior aging.

WeatherXL Crinkle and Kynar 500 PVDF are different coating technologies. WeatherXL Crinkle is a textured SMP finish; Kynar 500 identifies qualifying PVDF resin-based coating systems. The available coating depends on the roofing manufacturer, product profile and chosen colour.

Slate Metal Roofing

Slate-profile metal roofing recreates the dimensional lines and refined appearance of natural slate using engineered steel panels. ROOFNOW’s slate-style options can include Vicwest True Nature™ North Ridge Slate and RARE Manufacturing slate profiles. These systems provide the architectural appearance of slate without the weight and breakability of quarried stone. Steel gauge, interlocking details, fastening method, colour and coating vary by product.

Shake Metal Roofing

Shake-profile metal roofing delivers the depth and shadow lines associated with traditional cedar shake while using formed steel that does not rot, split or curl like wood. ROOFNOW’s shake-style options can include Vicwest True Nature™ Cedar Creek Shake and RARE Manufacturing Ironwood Shake or Heavy Shake systems. Available textures, colours, gauges and coating technologies depend on the selected profile.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofing uses long vertical steel panels with raised seams and concealed fastening or clip systems. It creates clean architectural lines while allowing the panel system to manage drainage and normal thermal movement. ROOFNOW offers qualifying standing seam options in the 26-gauge to 28-gauge steel range, with available WeatherXL, PVDF or Kynar 500 resin-based finishes depending on the specific manufacturer, colour and panel specification.

Featured manufacturers and systems include RARE Manufacturing, Vicwest True Nature™, Ideal Roofing Wakefield Bridge™, Metstar metal roofing and selected solar-roofing systems. Product and colour availability can vary by location, roof design, manufacturer supply and installation requirements. The applicable ROOFNOW product page, written proposal and manufacturer documentation govern project-specific specifications.
