See How DECRA Products Met the Need for Historic Preservation, Religious and Commercial Projects

The wide variety of styles and colors made the system a fit for each of these buildings.

DECRA Metal Roofing systems provide safety and protection when it comes to nature’s harshest elements such as fire, wind, hail, hurricanes, seismic activity and extreme cold and heat.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION: The Red Antiquities Building

Problem: Constructed in 1873, the Red Antiquities Building in London, Ontario Canada, needed to preserve its historical appearance of a wood shake roof while finding ways to reduce energy and maintenance costs.

Solution: DECRA Shake XD® in Antique Chestnut reduces the heat in the attic and provides the classic wood shake appearance that meets historical preservation requirements.

Results: The restoration of the building will allow for many more years of service to the community and the new roof has helped in reducing maintenance and energy costs.

RELIGIOUS: Bethlehem Lutheran Church

Problem: Bethlehem Lutheran Church’s existing asphalt shingles were falling off due to high wind conditions in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

Solution: Installing DECRA Shake XD® in Pinnacle Grey. The interlocking nature of DECRA’s direct to deck, hidden fastener product can withstand 120 mph winds.

Results: Eliminated the need for constant patching, repairing, and fixing the existing asphalt roof. The Shake XD® roof provided an upgraded more dimensional appearance while coordinating with the existing style of the church.

COMMERCIAL: Sleep Center

Problem: The new commercial Sleep Center needed to blend into the residential area it resided in and the old wood shake roof posed a fire hazard.

Solution: Installing DECRA Shake XD® in Pinnacle Grey. Shake XD® is a Class A fire rated material and emulates wood shake.

Results: The Class A fire rating ensured patient safety and the choice of Shake XD®   preserved the residential feel, blending with the surrounding neighborhood. Easy maintenance, a 50-year warranty and minimal noise requirements are also a plus.
