STONE COATED METAL SHAKE PRO
The standard TEK Metal Shake already outperforms real cedar on every measure that matters — impact, wind, fire, and maintenance. Metal Shake Pro takes the same 28-gauge stone-coated steel core and removes the one thing a discerning eye can still find on an exposed-fastener roof: the fasteners themselves.
Every panel locks into the next through a fully concealed interlocking system, so no screw head, clip, or cap is visible from the ground, the eaves, or a second-story window. That same interlock creates a secondary weather seal at every joint, and it's paired with a 2 lb. density foam insert — denser than the standard Shake's foam core — for a measurable step up in R-value and rain-noise absorption.
This is the specification for homeowners and builders who intend to keep the roof they install for the next fifty years and want it to look phenomenal from the first day to the last.
Concealed fastener system
Fully interlocking panels with zero visible hardware from any angle — plus a secondary weather seal at every joint.
2 lb. density foam insert
A denser factory-bonded foam core than the standard Shake, for enhanced R-value and superior rain-sound absorption.
Elevated corrosion resistance
A higher corrosion resistance specification throughout the panel, coating, and clip system — pairs with the Coastal Upgrade.
Fully transferable warranty
Limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty, transferable to future homeowners — value that follows the house, not just the buyer.
Two Shake Lines. One Uncompromising Standard of Quality.
Both products share the identical 28-gauge steel core and the full Class 4 / CAT-5 / Class A rating. Nothing about the Pro upgrade trades away performance — it adds to it.
Metal Shake
The standard Metal Shake replicates hand-split cedar in 28-gauge stone-coated steel. The exposed fastener system installs quickly, is available for direct-to-deck, and delivers the full performance specification. The foam insulation insert — standard on every panel — adds R-value to the roof system and absorbs rain impact sound at the panel level before it reaches the structure below.
Metal Shake Pro
The Metal Shake Pro adds a fully concealed interlocking fastener system and a 2 lb. density foam insert to the base Shake specification. Zero visible hardware from any angle. The concealed fastener system also creates a secondary weather seal at every panel joint — a structural benefit alongside the aesthetic one. The higher-density foam insert delivers enhanced R-value and superior rain sound absorption versus the standard Shake. Higher corrosion resistance specification throughout.

What Every TEK Metal Shake Pro Delivers
TEK isn't a marketing name — it's the specification floor for every panel that carries it, Pro included.
Real cedar shake rates Class C for fire resistance — two full tiers below TEK's Class A — and is prohibited on new construction in fire-risk zones in several regions. Metal Shake Pro's non-combustible steel core and stone-coated surface won't ignite from airborne embers, the primary cause of home loss during wildfires.
Every Pro panel ships with a 2 lb. density foam insert — denser than the standard Shake's core. It adds genuine R-value to the roof system and absorbs more rain-impact sound at the panel level, before it ever reaches the structure below.
The dimensional stone granule surface recreates the light variation and shadow depth that make cedar shake distinctive — and the concealed fastener finish reads even closer to hand-split cedar up close. TEK provides a complete HOA documentation package for every Pro project.
Metal Shake Pro's already-elevated corrosion resistance spec pairs with the TEK Coastal Upgrade — a baked-on resin that fully encapsulates the panel before installation — for homes within 1,000 feet of salt water. CAT-5 and Class 4 ratings are maintained throughout.
PROVEN QUALITY. PROVEN PROTECTION. Homeowners Notice the Difference
Homeowner, North Texas
"You genuinely cannot see a single screw anywhere on the roof. Our contractor pointed it out and even he seemed impressed."
Homeowner, Coastal Carolina
"Our HOA board approved it in one meeting. From the street it reads exactly like the cedar shake two doors down."
Homeowner, South Texas
"It's quieter in a downpour than the asphalt roof it replaced, and our insurance premium actually went down."

Metal Shake - Pro Questions Homeowners Ask
For most homes, the standard Shake already exceeds cedar on every performance measure. The Pro upgrade is about finish and long-term detail: zero visible hardware, a higher-density foam core, and an elevated corrosion spec. It's the right call for high-value builds, renovations where the finish is scrutinized, and HOA communities with strict aesthetic review.
Each panel interlocks with the next through a clip system fully hidden beneath the panel overlap. There's no exposed screw head or cap anywhere on the finished roof, and the interlock itself forms a secondary weather seal at every joint — a structural benefit alongside the aesthetic one.
It's a denser, factory-bonded closed-cell foam layer than the standard Shake uses. Homeowners see it as two things day to day: a measurable step up in R-value, and a noticeably quieter roof during heavy rain, since the foam absorbs impact sound at the panel before it reaches the deck.
Yes. Metal Shake Pro carries the same Class 4 hail impact rating as the standard Shake — the certification that triggers discount programs with most carriers in hail-prone states. TEK dealers provide the full UL 2218 documentation package for carrier submission.
In most cases, yes — and Pro's concealed fastener finish is often the deciding factor for stricter boards, since there's no hardware visible even on close inspection. TEK provides a complete HOA documentation package, including board-ready photos and a sample approval letter.
No. The 28-gauge steel core doesn't rot, warp, or absorb moisture, and the stone-coated surface doesn't fade or require recoating. TEK's limited lifetime warranty — fully transferable to future homeowners — covers the product without any maintenance program requirement.
