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.
