IKO North America officially launched IKO Metals, bringing DECRA’s stone-coated steel roofing portfolio under the IKO Metals brand.
DECRA became part of IKO through its 2018 acquisition of Roof Tile Group. The launch portfolio—DECRA by IKO Metals—includes three profiles inspired by traditional tile and shake: Mediterranean Tile, Farmhouse Shake, and Spanish Tile.
“The launch portfolio gives IKO a foundation to serve customers looking for the distinctive appearance of tile and shake without moving away from the performance characteristics of steel,” said IKO’s Vince Carrier. “These three profiles are the first step in expanding IKO’s metal roofing offering.”
IKO Metals roofs have a Class 4 impact-resistance rating and a Class A fire rating, and are designed to withstand freeze-thaw conditions.
Scott Campbell, vice president of U.S. sales, said these initial profiles are “just the beginning of what we’re building in metal.”
The launch builds on IKO’s investment in metal roofing, including the opening last year of its $60 million, 205,000-sf manufacturing facility in Ennis, Texas.
