ADVANTA offers the traditional aesthetics of asphalt shingles, yet has all the benefits associated with metal. The shingle is ideal for re-roofing and new construction because it is lightweight, weighing less than a pound per square foot. It is durable, weather-resistant, non-combustible and environmentally friendly. These benefits combined with long-life, low-maintenance features prove it to be an innovative, practical and economical alternative to problem-plagued roofing.

ADVANTA Shingle is manufactured from 16-ounce natural copper and 29-gauge G90 galvanized steel available in nine standard colors and six designer colors, with a quality KYNAR 500® or HYLAR 5000® finish. The panel measures 1 foot by 3 feet, and it covers twice the area of a traditional shingle. Only 34 panels are required to cover 100 square feet of roof area or 1 square.
