Rubber roofing solves the problem that sends 42,000 Calgary homeowners to insurance adjusters after a single storm: shingles that crack on impact. Euroshield rubber shingles – manufactured right here in Calgary by G.E.M. Inc. from roughly 75% recycled tire rubber – flex when hail strikes, then return to shape. The same August 2024 hailstorm that cracked thousands of asphalt roofs across NW and NE Calgary left Euroshield roofs performing as designed.
Vertex Roofing & Exteriors Ltd installs Euroshield rubber roofing across Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, and the foothills acreage communities. Every installation carries Euroshield’s 50-year transferable warranty plus our own 10-year workmanship warranty.
Euroshield rubber roofing consists of interlocking shingle panels moulded from recycled tire rubber and engineered polymers – about 95% recycled material by content. G.E.M. Inc. manufactures every panel at its Calgary plant (9330 48 St SE), which means your roof ships from 20 minutes away, not from a warehouse in Texas.
The rubber compound gives Euroshield three properties asphalt can’t match:
Each roof diverts 250 to 1,000 scrap tires from landfill, and off-cuts from installation return to the plant for re-processing.
Book Your Free InspectionCalgary sits in Hail Alley and absorbs 5-10 significant hail events every year, causing $4.45 billion in property damage between 2020 and 2024. Standard shingles crack under 1.75-inch hailstones. Rubber roofing shrugs off the 2-inch steel-ball drop of UL 2218 testing – and unlike Class 4 asphalt products, Euroshield’s hail protection is backed by warranty, not just a lab rating.
The result for homeowners: rubber roofing converts your roof from a recurring insurance claim into a one-time investment. Many Alberta insurers apply the same premium reductions they offer for Class 4 asphalt – typically $300-$1,000 annually. Confirm the discount with your provider before you commit; Vertex supplies the installation certificates and photo documentation insurers require.
The same August 2024 hailstorm that pushed thousands of asphalt roofs into the replacement queue left Euroshield roofs performing as designed. One material decision removes hail from your list of homeowner worries for the next 50 years.

Rundle Slate reproduces the flat, squared profile of quarried slate at a fraction of the weight. Our crews recently completed a black Rundle-profile installation on a forested acreage property outside Calgary – the panels lock together across hips and ridges for a continuous, monolithic look.
Book a Rundle Slate Roof Quote →Beaumont Shake carries deep wood-grain texturing that reads as hand-split cedar from the curb – without cedar’s fire risk, moss, or 15-year lifespan. We install it frequently as a cedar shake conversion in established Calgary neighbourhoods.
Book a Cedar-to-Rubber Conversion →Vermont Slate – Modern Slim Profile. Vermont Slate offers a sleeker, smaller-format slate tile suited to contemporary builds and infills. Colour options across profiles include black, driftwood brown, grey, and earth tones – Gazi will confirm the current lineup during your quote.
Ask Gazi Which Profile Fits Your HomeBoth products earn the Class 4 impact rating, but they behave differently over 25 years:
01
Euroshield writes hail coverage (up to 2" stones on qualifying profiles) into the product warranty. Asphalt Class 4 warranties typically exclude hail cosmetic damage.
02
Euroshield: 50-year transferable warranty. Class 4 asphalt: 25–30 year expected service life in Calgary conditions.
03
Rubber runs roughly 1.5–2× the installed price of Class 4 asphalt — a premium investment in your last roof.
04
The 50-year lifespan typically makes rubber the cheaper roof per decade of protection, especially when you factor in avoided deductibles.
If your budget points to asphalt, our hail roofing Calgary page covers Malarkey, Owens Corning, IKO, and CertainTeed Class 4 options.
Compare options with GaziEuroshield rubber roofing represents a premium investment – plan for roughly 1.5-2× the installed price of a Class 4 asphalt roof, with an exact written quote after Gazi walks your roof. Three factors drive the final number:
Against that investment: a 50-year warranty, insurance premium reductions of $300-$1,000 annually where offered, no more hail claims or deductibles, and a sale-ready transferable warranty that adds real resale value.

Schedule Your Free EstimateEuroshield installs differently from asphalt – panels interlock and fasten with a specific nailing schedule, so manufacturer-trained installation determines whether the 50-year warranty holds. Vertex crews follow the same day-one discipline as our shingle replacements:
Site protection – Tarps over gardens, driveways, and decks before tear-off begins
Complete tear-off and deck inspection – We photograph and replace compromised plywood
Ice & water shield and synthetic underlayment – Full eave, valley, and penetration coverage
Euroshield panel installation – Interlocked and fastened to manufacturer spec for chinook winds
Ridge, hip, and flashing details – Matched rubber ridge caps, proper ventilation to prevent ice dams
Magnetic sweep and documentation – Warranty registration, installation photos, and your insurance certificate package
Most Calgary rubber roof installations finish in 2-3 days, weather permitting.
Full replacement including ridge venting and chimney flashing details on a multi-facet roof surrounded by mature spruce.
Cedar-look conversion with new vents, valley work, and hip cap details.

I had a leak coming through my smoke detector after all the rain. Not only did Gus show up at 8:45 pm, but within a few hours of my call! He went into the attic, climbed on the roof, took pictures and showed me exactly why it was leaking. Vertex is professional and knows what they’re doing. Highly recommend!
We called due to leaking around our window and he was here in 1.5 hours. He quickly identified the issue, provided photos to explain what needed to be fixed, and proceeded to fix it. The price quoted was the final price. If I ever need to call again, Vertex will be our first call!

Euroshield backs the product with a 50-year transferable warranty. Because rubber never dries out, sheds granules, or cracks in freeze-thaw cycles, the realistic service life meets or exceeds that figure — roughly double a premium asphalt roof in Calgary conditions.
Gazi Shyti · Vertex Roofing & Exteriors
Yes. Euroshield carries the Class 4 impact rating (2-inch steel ball, UL 2218), and qualifying profiles include manufacturer hail coverage for stones up to 2 inches — coverage asphalt manufacturers don’t offer. Gazi has inspected hundreds of hail-hit roofs; rubber roofs consistently come through storms that total asphalt roofs.

Plan for roughly 1.5–2× the cost of a Class 4 asphalt installation. Spread across a 50-year warranty instead of 25–30 years, the per-year cost usually favours rubber — before counting insurance savings. Gazi provides an exact written quote after walking your roof.
Gazi Shyti · Vertex Roofing & Exteriors
Many Alberta insurers discount premiums $300–$1,000 annually for Class 4 rated roofing. Vertex provides the manufacturer certificate, installation photos, and warranty registration your insurer requires. Confirm your specific discount before installation.
Gazi Shyti · Vertex Roofing & Exteriors
No. Rundle and Vermont profiles read as natural slate; Beaumont reads as cedar shake. The panels hold their colour because pigment runs through the material — there are no granules to shed.
Gazi Shyti · Vertex Roofing & Exteriors
Yes — rubber panels stay flexible at -40°C, so cold-weather installation doesn’t risk the cracking that rules out winter asphalt work. Scheduling depends on snow load and safety, not material limits.
