Antique and Berridge modern shingles: side by side

Berridge modern shingles on left; traditional shingles on right

Where to buy metal shinglesThose owners of traditional embossed tin shingle roofs sometimes ask about the appearance of a modern version of the antique design.  Above is the new Berridge shingle on the left with the antique version on the right–both covered with a silver-tinted coating from Andek Corp.

Unless you are studying the roof carefully, the two styles blend well.

Three major hints:  1.  Always have some divider between the two versions.  2.  A different slant of the roof (such as a porch surface) is even less obvious.  3.  Insure thoughtful color coating, either the same tint or complementary colors.
