There are serious problems with the stone coating used on Duraloc, (now rebranded, or called Allmet) metal roofing panels. Do a goodle search using Duraloc Allmet stone coated roof problems, or do a search using duraloc consumer review. You will read about many others in Canada and the United States who are victims of this 50 yr. Warranty, which is not being honoured. You will find that a numbered Ontario shell company, is very hard to deal with when warranty problems are reported. I have received unsigned form letters, and they require a $400.00 payment up front before they will even come to assess the problem. The last unsigned form letter basically told me that someone would contact me depending on time and weather. It all seems very vague. There only address is a post office box in Courtland Ontario.
Here is a link to other sites, where home owners describe the problems with Duraloc stone coated roofing: http://forums. Redflagdeals.com/home-garden-f53/12/ Look for the post by Consumer 1.
It looks like many more Duraloc roofs are about to fail. It takes about 5 to 7 years in most cases for the problems to begin to show.
It does not seem fair at all that Allmet, who bought the company, and now manufactures stone coated roofing, does not have to honour the 50 year warranty for previous customers, who bought their expensive Duraloc stone coated roofs in good faith, and are now stuck with very unsightly roofs covered in red primer, that looks like rust. This really lowers the realestate value of your home for resale, to say nothing of your own enjoyment of your home, and the stress it causes for the owners.
