RARE Manufacturing Products Available Through ROOFNOW™
Permanent roofing can still look like roofing.
RARE Manufacturing develops premium architectural metal roofing profiles inspired by traditional materials including cedar shake, natural slate and European tile.
Instead of settling for exposed-fastener or industrial-looking metal panels, homeowners can choose a roofing system designed to preserve the character and architecture of their home.
ROOFNOW™ helps Ontario homeowners explore the RARE collection, compare profiles and colours, understand their roof configuration and select the system that best fits their property.
Five systems. Five distinct roofing solutions.
Each profile has its own architectural character. Every photograph below is matched to the RARE product being described.
Ironwood Shake
RARE’s shake profile recreates the character of traditional cedar roofing using an interlocking steel system with concealed fasteners.
Ironstone Slate
A refined architectural steel roofing profile designed to reproduce the appearance of traditional natural slate.
Heavy Shake
A deeper shake profile inspired by heavy-cut cedar. Strong shadow lines give the roof substantial visual depth.
European Tile
The sweeping architectural appearance of European-style clay roofing recreated using dimensional steel roofing.
Ironwood e-Panel™
Photovoltaic roofing engineered to integrate directly into the Ironwood Shake roofing system for a cleaner alternative to conventional rack-mounted solar panels.
Metal strength. Architectural character.
Permanent roofing without sacrificing the appearance of the home.

Concealed Fasteners
Select RARE systems use interlocking hidden-fastener designs.
Curb Appeal

Canadian Climate
Designed for homes facing snow, rain, ice and freeze-thaw cycles.
Long-Term Material

A roofing decision measured in decades.

Rather than mounting large racks above a finished roof, Ironwood e-Panel™ integrates photovoltaic technology directly with Ironwood Shake.
Ontario weather doesn’t give roofs an easy life.
Roofs across Ontario experience snow, ice, rain, summer heat, UV exposure and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Roofing materials should be selected with the complete climate in mind.
