A Partnership As Strong As The Product

Forma Steel is proud to be the exclusive Western Canadian supplier of Wakefield Bridge Steel Shingles—a premium metal roofing solution designed to outperform traditional asphalt in nearly every way. From durability and performance to long-term value, steel shingles offer clear advantages that are transforming the residential roofing market.

1. Built to Last for Decades

Steel shingles dramatically outlast asphalt roofing and are backed by a 50-year transferable warranty. While the upfront investment is higher, asphalt roofs often require frequent repairs and replacement—costing homeowners anywhere from $5,000 to $12,000 every 10–15 years. Steel shingles, by contrast, require virtually no repair costs for decades, making them a smarter long-term investment.

2. Superior Strength and Durability

Wakefield Bridge Steel Shingles are significantly stronger than asphalt and aluminum roofing. Unlike asphalt, they do not deteriorate due to oxidation—a leading cause of roof failure. With a Class 4 Impact Resistance Rating and a Class A Fire Rating, these shingles offer exceptional protection and peace of mind, even in extreme conditions.

3. Designed for Extreme Weather

Steel shingles are engineered to withstand harsh environments, resisting acid rain, hail, ice storms, heavy snow, high winds (up to 177 km/h), freezing temperatures, intense sun, insects, debris, and even airborne embers from fires. In the unpredictable and often severe Western Canadian climate, this level of weather resistance is not just a benefit—it’s essential.

4. Advanced Cool-Roof Technology

Wakefield Bridge Steel Shingles feature Cool Roof solar-reflective technology, designed to reflect heat and reduce indoor temperatures. This helps lower air-conditioning costs during warmer months, delivering real energy savings—something asphalt shingles simply cannot match.

5. An Environmentally Responsible Choice

Unlike asphalt shingles, which often end up in landfills after a short lifespan, steel shingles are made in part from recycled steel and are 100% recyclable at the end of their life. Choosing steel means fewer replacements, less waste, and a reduced environmental footprint.

6. Increased Home Value and Lower Insurance Costs

Many insurance providers charge higher premiums for homes with asphalt roofs. With a 50-year transferable warranty and superior performance ratings, steel shingles can help lower insurance costs while adding long-term value to your home. The result? A stronger resale position when it’s time to move.
