FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes the ARETASHIELD roof system different from traditional asphalt shingles or metal shingles?

ARETASHIELD is a German‑engineered modular metal system designed for longevity, precision, and architectural clarity. Unlike asphalt or stone‑coated shingles, ARETASHIELD panels do not rely on granules or surface coatings that break down over time. The system delivers a clean, modern aesthetic and long‑term material stability.

Why do contractors prefer installing ARETASHIELD over conventional roofing products?

AREATSHIELD's modular format allows faster installation, predictable workflows, and less jobsite waste. Panels are lightweight, easy to handle, and engineered for consistent fit—reducing installation errors and callbacks.

How does ARETASHIELD perform in harsh U.S. climates?

The system is built on a high‑zinc steel core and a special matte coating, providing exceptional resistance to UV, corrosion, hail, and coastal conditions. ARETASHIELD maintains its color and surface integrity for decades, even in high‑heat or high‑humidity regions.

Does AREATSHIELD require special tools or training?

Only basic metal‑roofing tools are needed. ARETASHIELD offers installation guides, training modules, and on‑site support to ensure contractors can adopt the system quickly and confidently.

Is ARETASHIELD suitable for both residential and light commercial projects?

Absolutely. The system’s clean geometry and refined matte finish make it ideal for modern homes, multifamily developments, and architectural commercial structures.

How does ARETASHIELD handle wind uplift and severe storms?

The interlocking modular design provides superior wind resistance, making ARETASHIELD an excellent choice for hurricane‑prone regions and areas with frequent severe weather.

What test has ARETASHIELD undergone?

High Velocity Hurricane Zone TAS 100, TAS 110-2000, ASTM G26-96, ASTM G155-00a, G155-04a, G155-05
