dura-loc allmet Very defective stone coating, 50 yr. warranty not for protection of consumer, beware ! Courtland, Ontario

There are serious problems with the stone coating used on
Duraloc,( now rebranded, or called Allmet )metal roofing panels.  Do a
goodle search using Duraloc Allmet stone coated roof problems, or do a
search using duraloc consumer review.  You will read about many others
in Canada and the United States who are victims of this 50 yr. warranty,
which is not being honoured.  You will find that a numbered Ontario
shell company, is very hard to deal with when warranty problems are
reported. I have received unsigned form letters, and they require a
$400.00 payment up front before they will even come to assess the
problem. The last unsigned form letter basically told me that someone
would contact me depending on time and weather. It all seems very
vague.  There only address is a post office box in Courtland Ontario. 



Here is a link to other sites, where home owners describe the problems
with Duraloc stone coated roofing  :

It looks like many more Duraloc roofs are about to fail. It takes about 5
to 7 years in most cases for the problems to begin to show. 



It does not seem fair at all that Allmet, who bought the company, and
now manufactures stone coated roofing, does not have to honour the 50
year warranty for previous customers, who bought their expensive Duraloc
stone coated roofs in good faith, and are now stuck with very unsightly
roofs covered in red primer, that looks like rust. This really lowers
the realestate value of your home for resale, to say nothing of your own
enjoyment of your home, and the stress it causes for the owners.
