Homeowner's Guide to Metal Shingle Roofs
What a LUXR roof is, how it performs, what to ask your contractor and how to prepare for installation day.
Redefining the modern metal shingle.
LUXR makes one precision-engineered, low-profile metal shingle. It gives a home the clean shadow lines of an architectural shingle with the strength of 26-gauge steel.
Why the flat profile matters
A low, non-wavy profile suits modern and traditional homes alike, without the weight of slate or tile.
Built for the elements
Interlocking panels and matched flashing shed water. Class A fire assemblies use a fire-rated underlayment; wind and impact testing is in progress.
Lighter than slate or clay
Steel shingles weigh far less than slate or clay tile, which matters for older framing and roof-overs.
Low maintenance
Periodic debris checks and a garden-hose rinse keep the finish clean. No pressure washers.
Hiring a contractor
Questions to ask before you sign.
-
Are you a LUXR certified installer?
-
Will you tear off or install over my existing roof, and why?
-
Which underlayment will you use, and where will the ice & water shield go?
-
Will you use only LUXR trim and flashing?
-
How many screws per panel? (LUXR's minimum is 4; 7 is recommended.)
-
How will you protect my landscaping, siding, and gutters?
Project preparation
