IKO launches IKO Metals, bringing DECRA stone-coated steel roofing into its North American portfolio.

IKO launches IKO Metals, bringing DECRA stone-coated steel roofing into its North American portfolio. Launch builds on IKO's $60 million investment in its Ennis, Texas, metal roofing facility, which opened last year. September 28, 2026 20:40 ET | Source: IKO Metals LAS VEGAS, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - IKO North America is officially launching IKO Metals at the Western Roofing Expo in Las Vegas, bringing DECRA's stone-coated steel roofing portfolio under the IKO Metals brand. DECRA, a long-established brand in stone-coated steel roofing, became part of IKO through its 2018 acquisition of Roof Tile Group. The launch portfolio, DECRA by IKO Metals, includes three profiles inspired by traditional tile and shake, combining the look of traditional roofing materials with the strength and durability of stone-coated steel. The launch builds on IKO's investment in metal roofing, including the opening last year of its $60 million, 205,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Ennis, Texas. "The launch portfolio gives IKO a foundation to serve customers looking for the distinctive appearance of tile and shake without moving away from the performance characteristics of steel. These three profiles are the first step in expanding IKO's metal roofing offering," said Vince Carrier, Product Development Manager, IKO North America. Available across the U.S. and Canada, the launch portfolio gives homeowners, contractors and distributors new design options in a steel roofing system. It includes: * Mediterranean Tile features a low-profile, scalloped design that carries the aesthetic of Old-World clay tile in stone-coated steel. * Farmhouse Shake features the wide profile and textured appearance of hand-split cedar shake, recreated in stone-coated steel with deep shadow lines. * Spanish Tile features the sweeping curves and timeless character of Spanish clay tile in stone-coated steel. "DECRA has nearly 40 years of experience in stone-coated steel roofing, this launch builds on that foundation," said Scott Campbell, Vice President, Sales, U.S., IKO. "These new profiles combine that experience with IKO's proprietary roofing granules, updated colors and designs that are easier to install. And they're just the beginning of what we're building in metal." All IKO Metals roofs have a Class 4 impact-resistance rating, the highest level of impact resistance, a Class A fire rating and are designed to withstand freeze-thaw conditions. They are backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty providing warranty coverage and warranted coverage for wind speeds of up to 120 mph and hailstones up to 2.5 inches in diameter. The Lifetime Limited Warranty provides coverage during the original owner's ownership of the single family detached home on which the IKO Metals roof was installed, and is transferable one time to a new owner within the first 20 years after installation. Please see Lifetime Limited Warranty here for full terms, conditions and limitations. For pictures, see here. Colors shown are digitally enhanced.

IKO hosts 2026 Profit Power workshops.

IKO hosts 2026 Profit Power workshops. Roofing contractors from Portland, Ore.; Houston; Boston; and surrounding communities joined IKO's 2026 Profit Power workshops this summer to learn proven strategies for increasing sales, improving operations, navigating industry challenges and building more profitable roofing businesses. Now in its seventh year, the Profit Power series has brought together thousands of roofing contractors through more than 40 workshops across North America. "Roofing contractors don't need more theory, they need experienced professionals giving them tools to apply the very next day," said Jack Gottesman, Marketing and Brand Director at IKO North America. "That's what Profit Power is all about. Whether it's winning more business, finding new revenue opportunities, building stronger teams or learning from industry leaders, contractors leave every workshop ready to put what they've learned into action." In Portland and Boston, contractors combined business education with friendly competition during golf-themed workshops featuring expert-led sessions on sales, marketing, workforce development, leadership and roofing industry trends, followed by networking at Topgolf. Both events featured former ESPN anchor Steve Bunin and Dhaval Gajjar, Director of the Center for Roofing Innovation & Leadership at Clemson University and the Roofing Alliance. Kevin Nelson, District Sales Manager, IKO Metals, joined the speaker lineup in Boston, while Jessica Stahl, President of Ignite Results, presented in Portland. In Houston, the workshop took place at Constellation Field, the Astro's AAA Affiliate, where roofing professionals traded job sites for batting practice and business strategy. The value of the event was evident when one contractor arrived directly from a roofing job - hands still covered in dirt, determined not to miss the opportunity to learn from industry experts such as Travis Jones, owner of Smart Roof & Home Performance and Mathew Mulholland, Dean of the Building Experts Institute and founder of Listen To This Bull. Across all three cities, contractors stayed long after the presentations ended, exchanging ideas, discussing real-world business challenges and building relationships with fellow roofing professionals and industry experts. Attendees also learned about IKO's manufacturing excellence, vertical integration and the ROOFPRO contractor loyalty program. For the latest Profit Power workshop schedule and updates, stay tuned to IKO's social media channels. As attendance continues to grow in new markets, the series is reinforcing its reputation as one of the industry's premier educational and networking events for roofing contractors.
