Metal roofs have distinct advantages over other roofing materials. They are durable, lightweight, easy to install, and fireproof. With a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from, we can achieve virtually any look you want for your home or commercial building.
Many low-slope commercial metal roofs are made from corrugated galvanized steel. Copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and tin can also be used. Though the initial investment is much higher than other commercial roof solutions, their durability makes up for it in the long run.
Royal Roofing & Solar in Central Missouri has the knowledge and experience with all different types of metal roofing: aluminum, copper, steel, corrugated metal, and standing seam. We would love to help you go over the pros and cons of each and see which one will best fit your needs. While a metal roof may be more of an investment at first, you will soon see that the benefits make it a worthy investment.
Aluminum roofing is the durable value option among metal roofs. What it lacks in style it makes up for in fire, wind, and impact resistance. Aluminum is lightweight and durable, with most shingles having seven layers of paint and primer. Add on to that their environmentally friendly material and structure, and it is easy to recycle them when the time comes to replace them. It is easy to see why aluminum is an excellent material for metal roofs.
Regardless of how long you have had one, the beauty of a copper roof is unparalleled. Whether it’s brand new and shiny or sporting the distinctive green that aged copper, copper roofing on its own can raise the value of your property substantially and will last for life.
Corrugated metal is a cost-effective choice since it’s prefabricated. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, and easily transported. Corrugated metal directs water off of your roof making it an excellent solution for your building.
In many regards, steel is among the finest materials possible for your roof. Steel roofing lasts considerably longer than aluminum, zinc, or copper, upwards of 40 to 60 years, with proper care against oxidation. That said, beware of the possibility of corrosion should you live near the coast or anywhere with extra moisture.

Standing seam metal roofing comes in a variety of seam types: snap-lock, mechanical lock, and batten panel. Each one interlocks differently, and they provide different types of protection. Depending on your climate, you can choose a specific seam type to protect your building. Standing-seam metal roofs offer a wide range of colors, lengths, widths, thicknesses, and seam types.
Although conventional shingles absorb much of the sun’s heat, metal roofing reflects much of the sun’s heat and energy. Modern metal roof panels have a coating that incorporates special pigments that reflect the sun’s energy and release heat that is absorbed throughout the day, reducing cooling energy costs by as much as 20%.
It’s a common myth that rain is noisier on metal roofs. On a residential home, layers of building materials like the roof deck, insulation, and drywall between the metal roof and the living area reduce the sound of rain. As a result of this, rain noise from a metal roof is often comparable to that of conventional shingles.
You may be surprised to find that metal roofs can be quite impact-resistance. Studies conducted by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) have found that one benefit of metal roofing is that it is far less likely to be punctured by hail than conventional asphalt shingles. It surely is one of the stronger roofing materials available.

With metal roofs, there are a few things to consider. Metal roofs have a high upfront cost, but you will likely recoup your investment long-term because you won’t be replacing your roof as frequently.
