Specification :
SHELRASS Roofing Systems offer architects the strength and structural integrity of steel roofing, and the choice of many styles and colors. Roofing is important beyond the obvious need to offer protection from the elements. The appearance of the roof is one of the most important architectural features that determines the style of the building. A SHELRASS roof combines an elegant appearance with advanced structural engineering to meet the most stringent standards in the building industry
Reduced Weight and Increased Strength
There are numerous advantages to SHELRASS, but the most notable is increased strength and reduced weight. This is particularly important in earthquake zones where less overall roof weight minimizes the sway from shaking buildings that results in the greatest overall destruction. SHELRASS Roofing Systems weigh only 1.2 to 1.5 lbs. per sq. ft., and the unique design adds to the home’ s ability to resist violent shear stress.
Several Styles and Colors to Enhance Appearance
While stone-coated steel roofs aren’ t new, SHELRASS Roofing Systems are certainly unique. There are several styles and colors of shake, shingle, and tile that complement any style of building. With so many choices, it’ s no wonder SHELRASS Roofing Systems are gaining in prominence for residential and commercial roofing projects. Our newest product, the SHELRASS shingle, offers greater curb appeal because each shingle has added depth. The result is a richer texture in the roof’ s overall appearance. SHELRASS Roofing Systems are available in a variety of colors.
Fire and Wind Safety
SHELRASS stone-coated steel roofing is ideal in areas that are prone to fires. The steel is impervious to flying embers that can travel far from the fire zone and ignite roofs. The roofs are non-combustible ( rated Class A material) . The high resistance to wind and interlocking design also reduces the chances of exposing the attic to wind-driven rain, hurricane and tornado damage.
Durable
SHELRASS Roofing Systems are warranted for 50 years against 120-mph winds, damage due to penetrating hail stones, and manufacturing defects. No wonder customers are assured of a roofing material that will last.
Structural Versatility
SHELRASS Roofing Systems are ideal for converting flat to pitch roofs. Many older homes have rock roofs and desire the added appeal of an upscale look by raising the pitch of the roof. Mansards can be used during the installation process and will provide the structural support needed to increase the roof angle. The effect is dramatic, particularly on older homes.
