This striking profile design offers a hand-split wooden shingle effect that brings elegant aesthetics to any rooftop.

The inspiration for the Metrotile Lightweight Roofing Viksen profile is to be found in the uniqueness of the ancient Viking architectural style. Used in building construction, their homes and other edifices were built entirely from wood, onto which small roof shingles were then applied extensively.

The hand-split wood pattern imparts an individual and rustic character to each building.

Metrotile Viksen is available in five standard colours. Viksen offers the same benefits from installation to our Forty Year Weatherproof Guarantee and can be installed to a minimum pitch of 15°. It is the ideal profile for those looking for an elegant, highly secure and rapidly installed roofing solution.

Please note: Vixen requires longer lead time than our other profiles, so please remember this when planning. Contact us for further details.

Local Authority Library Refurbishment Irby Metrotile Lightweight Roofing in Vixen Charcoal

Case Study

Irby Library

From its humble beginnings during the early fifties, the current Library at Irby, Wirral was built during the late 60’s at the site of a demolished farmhouse. Loved by the local community with an aesthetic that blends in with the idyllic village surrounding it, the Library, like any other building during its fourth decade, requires routine building maintenance. In the case of Irby Library, it was decided that the current roofing material had run its course and a flat to pitch conversion was required.
