Metal Roofing – Replicating a Rusted Look

HELLO TIM:

My husband and I are planning to build a barn to look like the old ones. I would like the outside to look as if it has been on our dairy for a long time. I would like to know if there is some type of roofing material that resembles old rusty tin. Thank you,

Diana from California

HELLO DIANA:

You can replicate the metal roofing quite easily. There are any number of standing seam metal roofing products you can choose from. All you need to do is to find out if partially painting them to resemble a rusted roof will void the warranty.
