metal roof

Tin-topped building shelter

A metal roof is a roof made of steel, aluminum, copper, or other metal rather than traditional materials like shingles or tiles.

Metal roofs are valued for durability and longevity: The cabin had a metal roof that drummed pleasantly in the rain.

They appear on both residential and commercial buildings.
