One trusted manufacturer. Five distinctive roofing systems.
From the depth of hand-split shake to clean solar integration, RARE offers permanent-roofing choices designed to complement both traditional and contemporary homes.
Ironwood Shake
A dimensional steel shake profile with the character of natural wood and the durability of metal—without splitting, curling or rotting.
Heavy Shake
A bold, deep-profile roofing system that creates strong shadow lines and substantial curb appeal on residential and architectural projects.
European Tile
The timeless appearance of European clay tile recreated in lightweight, durable steel for dependable Canadian-weather performance.
RARE Slate
An elegant slate-inspired steel profile that delivers refined roof lines without the extreme weight and fragility of quarried stone.
Ironwood e-Panel™
An integrated photovoltaic roofing system designed to work with Ironwood Shake for a cleaner, more unified solar-roof appearance.
Real steel protection without sacrificing the look of your home.
RARE systems combine precision-formed steel, protective finishes and interlocking or concealed-fastener construction to help defend Ontario homes through snow, wind, rain, sun and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- Resists cracking, peeling, rotting and insect damage
- Lightweight compared with many traditional roof materials
- Low-maintenance surface with excellent curb appeal
- Recyclable steel supports a more sustainable roof choice
- Professionally measured and installed by ROOFNOW™
Designed around the things a roof must do well.
Long Service Life
A permanent-roofing approach that can outlast repeated asphalt replacements.
Weather Resistance
Steel systems built for the wind, snow, rain and seasonal extremes of Ontario.
Architectural Design
Shake, tile and slate profiles that add depth, texture and lasting curb appeal.
Recyclable Steel
Metal roofing is recyclable and reduces the cycle of tear-off and replacement.
Ironwood e-Panel™ integrated solar roofing.
Generate electricity with photovoltaic panels designed as part of the roof. The e-Panel system uses monocrystalline solar technology, concealed connections and a low-profile appearance that integrates with Ironwood Shake.
Metal roofing that looks at home on your home.
RARE profiles are designed to create natural dimension and crisp architectural lines—not the flat industrial appearance many homeowners associate with metal roofing.
