DECRA Roofing Systems Named As A Metal Roofing Shingle Industry Leader

DECRA Roofing Systems Inc., a manufacturer of metal roofing products, is pleased to announce the results of the 2008 Brand Survey for Pro Dealers conducted by the Home Improvement Executive, a news network publication. The survey, which asked ‘Which brands/manufacturers do you perceive as driving your business this’, found that DECRA Roofing System scored an outstanding 44 per cent brand awareness for driving business in the metal roof shingle industry.

According to DECRA’s President, Bo Hudson, “This data verifies DECRA’s ongoing strategy to provide metal roofing products for the mainstream roofing contractor.”

DECRA results led other manufacturers by 17 per cent with the next closest competitor at 27 per cent. Offering a high profile, in-depth study of superior brands and manufacturers in the roofing industry, the 2008 Home Improvement Executive Brand Survey analysed a variety of building materials and roofing products. The 2008 Brand Survey generated results from over 10,000 subscribers, including companies such as wholesale roofing distributors, retail building material chains and independent lumberyards.

Available in a variety of colours, DECRA’s metal shingles are pressure formed with aluminum zinc alloy coated steel with an acrylic bonded stone chip finish that resists fading and UV penetration. DECRA shingle provides exceptional dimensionality and a distinctive appearance, while offering the look of a heavy weight architectural shingle, with less than half the weight. With the highest ratings available, Class A fire rating and a Class four impact resistance, DECRA’s stone coated metal roofing shingles will not crack, burn, curl, split or rot, and are available with 120 mph wind and a 50-year limited warranty.
