I'm looking for a metal shake shingle type product that I can use as siding. I would prefer something with a clean simple look, but most of what I find is metal that has been stamped to look like something else.
atas.com has a diamond shingle which is interesting. Any other suggestions?

Metal shake would try to look like a wood shake. Here is some siding. http://www.metalsales.us.com/WallPanels/index.html

You might want to look at Decra. Their metal shingle pattern looks like a shingle. One of my SIP clients has used it as it was intended, for roofing, and is very pleased with it. Just an idea.

Thank you for the input ICFconstruction.
When I wrote "shake" I was trying to refer to that essential size and attachment - each small unit attached separately rather than vertical or horizontal sheets of siding. One could also say "shingles."
I suppose one could cut Galvalume sheet metal into small rectangles, but then you would have the cuts which would be subject to corrosion.

Another vote for Decra.
We have used this product with significant success and it is a great product to work with.
