Shake

A stone-coated roofing system can offer a combination of durability, weather resistance, lightweight construction and architectural appeal. According to the product information, Doktale Shake is designed for weather and fire resistance, energy efficiency and long-term performance.

The Shake profile has a wood-grain appearance and deep-ribbed design inspired by traditional shake roofing. The profile creates distinctive shadow lines and visual contrast, making it suitable for homeowners looking for a more rustic or natural roof appearance.

According to the published product specifications, an individual Shake tile weighs approximately 2.5–3.5 kg. The lightweight construction can be an important consideration when comparing roofing systems for residential and other building projects.

The Doktale Shake specification states that one tile covers approximately 0.46 m², with approximately 2.16 tiles required per square metre. Actual quantities can vary depending on roof design, overlaps, cuts and installation requirements.

The specified minimum roof pitch for Doktale Shake is 25°. The roof structure and pitch should be assessed before installation to ensure that the selected roofing profile is appropriate for the project.

The Shake textured finish uses stone granules embedded in an acrylic base coat, followed by a clear acrylic over-glaze. Doktale states that this coating is oven-cured at 120°C and is designed to provide durable UV-resistant protection.

The Shake profile can be particularly suitable when a homeowner wants a rustic, textured appearance combined with a lightweight roofing system.

Shake provides a traditional roofing appearance while using a lightweight Zinc and Aluminium -based construction. At approximately 2.5–3.5 kg per tile, it can offer a different weight profile from heavier traditional roofing materials. The best choice ultimately depends on the building structure, design requirements, budget and expected performance.

Stone-coated roofing systems are generally designed for long-term outdoor exposure with protective coatings that help resist environmental conditions. However, regular roof inspections and appropriate maintenance are still recommended to identify issues such as damaged tiles, blocked drainage or loose components at an early stage.
