Cladding, Steep-Slope Roofing

West

Commercial, Residential

On a trip to Europe, company founder J. Joseph Zappone III noticed that, unlike in the US, most European roofs were designed to be permanent. He also noticed that wood and composition materials were not commonly used for roofing and that copper performed better and looked better over centuries of use than either slate or tile. Mr. Zappone decided to produce a roof that would match the quality of the roofing he saw in Europe. In 1969 Zappone Manufacturing introduced an innovative metal shingle with an anti-capillary interlocking system. This product incorporated the benefits of metal and eliminated the weaknesses of sheet style systems. To guarantee durability, longevity and a rich appearance, the shingle is produced only from copper and aluminum.

Copper & Aluminum

While this process is time consuming, it guarantees the unique quality and performance that has become a Zappone trademark. “Zappone Pride”, as employees refer to it, has proven contagious. Essentially, Zappone roofs are for those who have as much pride in their homes as Mr. Zappone has in their products. Each carton of shingles not only carries the Zappone name, but also is initialed and dated by the employee who produced it. Recently, Zappone Manufacturing has added the Copper Accent Bay Window Roofing Kit to its product line. This kit includes everything necessary to roof a bay window. Zappone roofs, admittedly, are not for everyone. They are unmatched in performance, longevity, and appearance, and are enjoyed by homeowners who appreciate and demand that level of quality.

Metal Roofing

Engineered with a true four-way interlocking system nailing flange that permits the shingle to be nailed directly to the roof deck unlike most metal systems that rely on clips.

Quality Product

The shadow-cup design places 70% of the shingle squarely on the deck, allowing for foot traffic. The shingle’s size and the interlocking system allow for expansion and contraction without affecting fasteners and provides the proven wind and leak resistance. The Zappone shingle has passed independent wind and wind driven rain “hurricane” tests.
