Shake Tile, metal tile panel Shake Off the Negatives of Natural Wood Natural Wood shake is great; its upkeep and replacement costs aren't. KRS Shake offers the same premium looks, while all but eliminating maintenance costs. Speaking of cost, in most areas all stone-coated metal roofing systems qualify for insurance discounts, because metal does not burn. No wonder Shake tiles have become preferred alternatives in areas prohibiting natural shake roofs. KRS metal roof is simulated modular low metal tile panel with a unique 3-dimensional granular surface. The panel is installed ridge to eave and is easily stocked and handled. The metal panel is coated with crushed stone chips with an acrylic over-glaze. Metal tile can be used for reroofing or for new construction over a batten system. It is lightweight, allowing installation over an existing roof without the need of tear-off and disposal. The airspace between the roof deck and panel increases the insulation value, consequently lowering utility bills. Typical applications for metal tile are commercial and residential roofing with a recommended minimum slope of 3:12. The metal panel also is suitable for mansards.
