DECRA Metal Roofing: Tested Above and Beyond to Ensure Quality

By Mark Gallant, DECRA.  

DECRA Metal Roofing products are submitted for independent laboratory testing to verify their advanced performance.  

DECRA products are designed to withstand the elements, but even more so, they are designed to go above and beyond when it comes to durability and longevity. This is why DECRA is the only stone-coated steel roofing manufacturer to conduct exhaustive 13-point independent laboratory testing to ensure our products provide a lifetime of protection.  

Meeting the higher testing standards of Canada 

Many of DECRA’s competitors, especially overseas manufacturers, don’t offer their products in Canada since the harsh weather conditions of the region require rigorous testing that is beyond the scope of their products.  

DECRA, on the other hand, has had a long-established reputation for quality in Canada and their roofs have been enduring harsh Canadian winters for decades -- still retaining their original beauty and strength.  

DECRA takes pride in being the only stone-coated steel roofing manufacturer to meet or exceed the rigorous tests below and have the quality of our products verified by independent laboratory testing: 

• APA PRP-108: American Plywood Association – Engineered Wood Systems 

• ASTM: American Society for Testing and Materials International 

• CAN/CGSB: Canadian General Standards Board (Version 93.3: Prefinished Galvanized and Aluminum-Zinc Alloy Steel Sheet) 

• International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC) 

Let’s look at the 13 physical properties that all DECRA products are independently tested for:
