DECRA Roofing
DECRA roofing combines formed steel panels with a bonded stone-coated finish, creating tile, shingle and shake profiles for homeowners who want a distinctive architectural look with a metal roofing system underneath.
Stone-Coated Steel
DECRA is not standing-seam metal and it is not conventional asphalt, clay or wood. Each roof is assembled from steel panels shaped and finished to create a more traditional roofing profile.
The right choice depends on the roof design, structural and ventilation conditions, required transitions, local code, product availability and the look you want for the home. Morris Roofing evaluates those details before recommending a specific system.
Profile Examples
These photographs illustrate the traditional roofing looks that DECRA profiles are designed to recreate. They are style references—not representations of a specific DECRA color or completed Morris Roofing project.
01Style referenceTile profiles
Villa Tile recreates the rounded character of Spanish barrel tile, while DECRA Tile is shaped around a scalloped Mediterranean look. Both use stone-coated steel panels rather than traditional clay or concrete tile.
02Style referenceShingle profile
Shingle XD is designed for homeowners who want thick-cut edges and strong shadow lines similar to dimensional architectural shingles, with a stone-coated steel panel underneath.
03Style referenceShake profiles
DECRA's shake profiles reproduce the texture and irregular character associated with hand-split wood shake while using a steel-based roofing system.
See DECRA's current product photography, profiles and available colors in the official DECRA Metal Roofing Gallery. Product availability, specifications, colors and warranty terms should be confirmed for the selected project.
Choosing the System
Compare tile, shingle and shake profiles with the home's rooflines, exterior materials and neighborhood requirements.
Confirm slope, decking, valleys, penetrations, transitions, ventilation and product-specific installation requirements.
Review the manufacturer's current impact, fire, wind, corrosion and warranty information for the exact profile under consideration.
Plan underlayment, flashing, accessories, ventilation, delivery, property protection and finish details as one roofing system.
Morris Roofing
Our role is to help you understand whether DECRA fits the property and to define the complete roofing scope—not simply select a profile from a photograph. We will review the roof, explain the practical options and confirm current manufacturer requirements before materials are ordered.
Common Questions
DECRA is stone-coated steel roofing. Depending on the selected profile, the finished roof can resemble barrel tile, scalloped tile, dimensional shingles or wood shake.
No. Deck preparation, roof slope, fastening, batten requirements, ventilation, flashing and accessory details can vary by profile and property. The installation must follow the selected product's current requirements.
Yes. We can compare DECRA stone-coated steel with asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, clay tile, concrete tile or wood shake based on the home's architecture, roof design, budget and project goals.
Website images are useful for narrowing the look, but screens and lighting can change how a color appears. Final product, profile and color selections should be confirmed using current manufacturer information and physical samples when available.
