What colors are available for Metal Roofs?

Among considerations such as cost and longevity, one of the main questions homeowners have is, “What  colors are available for metal roofs?” Besides protecting homes, roofs have a major aesthetic impact on a home’s exterior. Choosing the right color can instantly improve a home’s curb appeal. 

In this blog post, we will explore the color varieties available for the three types of metal roofs: interlocking metal panels, standing seam, and stone-coated metal roofs. We will also cover how to choose between the different colors for metal roofs. 

Stone-Coated Metal Roofs

With stone-coated metals, the color options are a bit limited when compared to interlocking metal panels or standing seam color choices. However, there is still a great color selection available.

Stone-coated metals do come in a variety of different profiles, however. Depending on the one the homeowners is looking for, different color varieties will be available for each profile type. For example, cottage shingles come in a two-color blend that creates a clean classic mid-profile shingle look. Whereas the cedar shake profile is designed to replicate hand-split wood shakes and comes in a variety of wood tones, some solid colors and some blended colors are available.

Interlocking Metal Roofs

When considering interlocking metal roofs, there are quite a few different colors and color blends available. You can get them in solid colors, or you can get them with black-enhanced and lighted areas. The latter creates depth and interest. Along with this, it visually separates the segments, creating a more distinctive look.

The embossed interlocking steel roofs we install come in 12 different enhanced colors, 12 different solid colors. EDCO offers a variety of colors for both shake and slate profiles.

Standing Seam Roofs

When it comes to standing seam roofs, the options are nearly limitless. They have standard colors as well as specialty colors, which have a reflection and metallic sparkle to them. There are companies that make multicolor standing seam panels when looking for just that “right look.”

Other Aesthetic Considerations for Metal Roofs

Besides color, here are some other aesthetic factors homeowners may want to consider when choosing a metal roof:

  • Type: At a basic level, the type of metal roof affects the aesthetics since the panel shapes and the coating will be different. For example, stone-coated metal shingles have a granular look that look more organic in nature whereas standing seam roofs have long, vertical panels with a clean, classic look.
  • Profile: Depending on the type of metal roof a homeowner chooses, several different profile options are available for review. The profile is basically the look of the panel. For example, manufacturers can make stone coated metal shingles to look like cedar shake shingles or barrel vault that looks like Spanish tile. Homeowners can choose from five different profiles in stone-coated metal shingle product line and two different profiles for embossed interlocking metal roofs.
