DECRA® Shake XD® To Be Featured On NextGen Showcase Home At IBS 2012
Corona, CA - DECRA Roofing Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of stone coated steel roofing panels, announces that DECRA Shake XD® will be featured on the 2012 NextGen Energy Showcase home. Emulating the classic beauty of a heavy cut, rustic wood shake, Shake XD is the perfect complement to the style of the Showcase home.
DECRA® has been a NextGen participant since 2005, and is proud to be the official roofing sponsor for this year’s home. Featured at the International Builders Show (IBS), February 8-11, in Orlando, FL, the NextGen 2012 Showcase home features the “Next” in Next Generation Building systems and products.
DECRA’s featured profile, Shake XD, is lightweight, durable and designed to provide safety and security beyond other roofing products. In past product installations, the temperature in the attic space and under the deck of the DECRA roof remained significantly cooler when compared to a white asphalt shingle roof, a traditional Energy Star® rated color. DECRA products allow for continuous airflow across the deck, creating less stress on the cooling system, and lowering energy consumption.
Beyond energy savings, the steel Shake XD panels are walkable and will not crack, split, curl or rot like traditional wood shakes. Made of corrosion resistant, aluminum-zinc alloy coated steel with an acrylic bonded stone chip finish, the steel substrate used to make DECRA Roofing products contains upwards of 25% post-consumer recycled steel content, and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
DECRA Roofing Systems have been providing ageless beauty, superior performance and lasting durability for over 50 years. DECRA profiles are backed by a 50-year limited warranty, a 120 mph wind warranty, are Class 4 impact resistant, and steel is a non-combustible, Class A rated material. Stone coated steel does not use asphalt in the manufacturing process, all water run-off meets World Health Organization standards and does not harm the groundwater – just one more reason to choose DECRA.
