What Is DECRA Stone-Coated Steel Roofing?

DECRA is a premium roofing system made from galvalume steel panels coated with natural stone granules. It combines the strength and longevity of metal with the aesthetic appeal of traditional roofing materials — without the drawbacks of either.

Every DECRA panel is lightweight, fire-resistant, and engineered to interlock into a continuous weather barrier. The stone coating protects against UV degradation and absorbs sound, eliminating the common complaints about bare metal roofs. DECRA has been manufacturing stone-coated steel roofing for over 60 years and is trusted in some of the harshest climates on earth.

Three DECRA Profiles, One Standard of Excellence

Every DECRA product carries the same Class 4 hail rating, Class A fire rating, and 120 mph wind warranty. The difference is the look.

DECRA Shake

Replicates the rugged, textured appearance of hand-split cedar shake without the maintenance, rot, or fire risk. Ideal for homeowners who want a natural, rustic aesthetic with the durability of stone-coated steel. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty and engineered to withstand 120 mph winds.

DECRA Shingle XD

The most popular DECRA profile for residential roofing. Shingle XD delivers the familiar look of heavy-weight dimensional shingles with none of the vulnerabilities. Its multi-layer stone coating resists fading, and the interlocking panel design creates a weather-tight seal that asphalt simply cannot match.

DECRA Villa Tile

Captures the elegance of Mediterranean clay tile at a fraction of the weight. Villa Tile is perfect for homeowners who love the tile aesthetic but need a roofing system that works on standard residential framing. No structural reinforcement required, and it carries the same Class 4 hail impact rating as every DECRA product.

Why Choose Renovation Revelation for Your DECRA Roof?

Not every roofing contractor is qualified to install DECRA products. DECRA requires installers to complete certification training and follow strict installation protocols to maintain warranty coverage. We have earned that certification because we believe in the product and stand behind every roof we install.

As a locally owned company based in East Tennessee, we understand the weather patterns that wear out conventional roofs — the spring hailstorms, the summer heat cycles, the ice damming in winter. We recommend DECRA because we have seen firsthand how it outperforms asphalt in these conditions, and our customers see the difference on every insurance renewal and every passing storm season.
