Impressions Series

Courtland is engineered to replicate the look of
Victorian slate. Unlike slate, however, the Courtland
profile is very lightweight, cost effective, and it
offers extreme protection against heavy rain, wind
and hail. Looks great on historical homes and
commercial restoration projects alike.
Woodland reproduces the look of natural wood shakes
without the drawbacks or costs involved in using
treated wood. Unlike wood shake shingles, our
Woodland steel profile offers protection against
extreme weather and is an ideal material when fire
resistance is a concern. This pre-painted panelized
profile is installed direct to deck or alternately on
battens. Will not crack, curl, rot, peel or split.

Impressions Series
Low to No Maintenance: Coupled with its weatherresistant qualities, steel roofs resist the growth of mold
and mildew making them virtually maintenance-free.
Lightweight: Steel roofs ease the stress on a home’s
structure since it is much lighter than materials such as
tile. Heavier roof materials may require a home to
undergo structural repairs which can result in thousands
of additional costs.
Cost Effective: Steel roofing can be quite cost effective
compared to expensive clay tiles, slate, or wood shake
shingles. A reduction in heating and cooling costs is
another benefit—especially cooling costs since many
of Vicwest's steel roofing profiles use solar reflective
pigments within their coating.
More than just a roof
over your head
Styles and Color Range: While the Woodland (far left)
provides a rustic shake appearance, the Courtland projects
a timeless look of Victorian slate. Both are available in a
range of colors, designed to compliment the style of your
home or cottage. Ask at your local building supply store
for color samples.
Fire and Weather Resistant: Because steel is a
non-combustible material, it cannot catch on fire. Steel
roofing holds up better than any other roofing material
under conditions of heavy rain, hail, extreme temperatures,
high winds, and even earthquakes.
Life Expectancy: Steel roofs last longer than nonmetallic roofs, with a lifespan of up to 50 years or even
more!
