Two Vicwest profiles
Both profiles bring the practical advantages of formed metal roofing, while their surface patterns create very different architectural impressions.
Slate-inspired profile
North Ridge Slate uses a clean, dimensional slate-inspired pattern for homeowners who want a refined roof with a quieter rhythm. Its interlocking Quadra-Loc system and concealed fasteners are designed to create a secure, weather-resistant roof assembly.
Shake-inspired profile
Cedar Creek Shake brings the varied shadow lines of cedar shake to a formed metal roof. Its textured appearance suits cottages, character homes and contemporary renovations across the Ottawa Valley.

Shared colour reference
Colour charts are useful for narrowing a palette, but final appearance changes with daylight, surrounding materials and screen settings.
Engineered detail
Vicwest profile details, underlayment, ventilation, valleys and flashings all work together. The supplied Quadra-Loc detail helps explain how the system is designed to lock together; our installation plan accounts for the actual roof geometry.
We review edges, transitions and exposed roof areas.
Flashings and drainage paths are considered before installation.
Ottawa's seasonal movement belongs in the roof plan.
A durable roof reduces repeat tear-off and disposal.

Ottawa roof planning
We look at the roof you have, the home beneath it and the conditions around it before recommending a product. That means fewer assumptions and a clearer installation plan.
North Ridge Slate has a clean, slate-inspired appearance, while Cedar Creek Shake recreates the varied texture of a wood shake roof. The right choice depends on your home's architecture, rooflines and preferred colour movement. Our Ottawa estimators can review your roof and bring samples to the consultation.
The installation approach depends on the existing roof assembly, deck condition, ventilation and local site requirements. We inspect the roof before recommending a system rather than assuming an overlay is suitable.
The interlocking metal-shingle format is designed for a durable exterior roof assembly, and a correctly detailed installation helps manage snow, freeze-thaw cycles, wind-driven rain and summer sun. Ventilation, underlayment, flashings and roof geometry remain important to performance.
Yes. The supplied Vicwest colour assets provide a starting point, but monitor settings and lighting can change how a colour appears. Ask for a consultation so we can confirm available finishes and review samples against your siding, brick and trim.
