Some metal roofs are made to look like shingles, but usually in the form of a long strip of metal that is imprinted with a shingle-like pattern to give the illusion of shingles.
A bit like this, if you look closely you’ll see it’s long strips of metal running laterally with a shingle pattern. From a distance it looks almost like any other shingled roof.
Semi-related but I recently went to New Mexico and saw a ton of people with roofs made of what looked like corrugated steel/composite. Never seen it before, my friend said it’s because it’s really effective against hail. Must be loud as hell when it rains or hails!
Metal roofing exists. It’s more like sheets than shingles. Not aware of metal shingles but I think it could work.

Interesting. I’ve never seen that.

That’s because you’d mistake it for an asphalt roof unless you were specifically looking to spot the difference.

Yeah, I don’t know how tolerable the noise is from a metal roof. I do wonder.
It’s quite loud during hail and sorta calming in rain. It makes falling asleep a breeze for me.
