Vail Metal Shingles
Company Overview
Until 2000, Vail Metal Products of Edwards, Colorado marketed their roofing products through Owens-Corning as part of the Miravista Designer Metals series. In 2004, Custom-Bilt Metals purchased the right to manufacture and market Vail products under the Vail® Titan Select and Majestic Copper series.
The Vail® Shingles Warranty:
Vail ® Titan metal shingles are an interlocking design offered in reflective Kynar500® finishes based on steel and galvalume. Vail® Majestic Copper and aluminum Country Manor shingles and shakes are also available. Made of heavy gauge metals and using hidden fasteners that do not penetrate the shingle surface, Vail products provide security in extreme wind conditions. Warranties vary with the product purchased.
Vail® metal shingles are Energy Star-rated and suitable for applications of all types.
Vail Metal Shingle Review
Cost:
Aluminum and Copper shingles are more expensive than asphalt shingles, but are cost-effective with a longer life expectancy.
Rating: 5 out of 10
Installation:
At 110 lbs. per square, steel shingles can be installed on solid roofing decks using suitable fasteners and accessories. Interlocking designs must be installed as per instructions.
Rating: 7
Durability:
Copper and aluminum shingles are considered to be a one-time roofing installation.
All copper roofing is subject to damage from extreme hail or wind-blown objects. High quality pre-finished steel shingles outlast asphalt products. Interlocking designs resist winds to 110mph and have a Class 1 fire rating.
Rating: 9
Aesthetics:
Over a few years, copper roofing shingles develop an elegant patina worthy of the finest heritage buildings or estates. Aluminum shingles if scratched, oxidize and return to the same colour as the unfinished metal. Vail products are designed for the appearance of slate, shingles, or shakes, offering aesthetic curb appeal second to none.
