Metal Roofing in Central Texas
From Austin to Killeen and across Central Texas, our team of reliable experts at Ark Roofer is here to provide you with top-notch metal roofing services in Central Texas. With over 40 years of experience and relentless dedication to our customers’ peace of mind, we are your go-to metal roofing professionals for either your home or business – or both!
Why Go Metal?
Simply put, metal roofs are best-suited for these scorching Central Texas summers. In contrast to shingles, which absorb and retain heat, metal reflects the sun’s rays. Shingles also retain heat for a longer period of time, while metal releases the heat much faster.
Durability and Longevity
With the wild weather events we typically experience in Central Texas, from high winds to substantial hail, metal roofing systems are by their nature far more resistant to severe weather and impacts. Not only does this reduce the risk of needing to replace or repair, but this level of protection also greatly reduces the risk of rainwater leaking into the home resulting in compounded damages and losses.
Additionally, our metal panels are fabricated with Kynar 500®, a PVDF coating which offers the best-in-class long-term protection against weathering, corrosion, and fading. Kynar 500® is available in a wide variety of stunning and vibrant colors to suit your home’s aesthetic and add to its overall curb appeal.
With superior metal quality and coating, a metal roofing system is sure to outlive most others – and look stunning all the while.
Energy Efficiency
Metal naturally has low thermal mass compared to shingles. This means that metal both reflects and emits heat at a far faster rate than shingles.
Shingles are designed to absorb and retain heat, and when that heat is released (slowly, often late into the evening) it escapes both back into the air and into the attic – increasing the temperature of an attic, adding extra strain on the HVAC system.
The reflective and emissive properties of metal naturally reduce this added stress, leading to a decrease in energy consumption.
When combined with proper attic ventilation solutions, and solar panels, a metal roofing system is the no-brainer for an energy efficient home.
Types of Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Standing seam metal roofs are the ideal choice for both residential and commercial structures. The panels feature raised seams which interlock to provide superior protection against leaks and weather damage. Our standing seam panels are custom fabricated and coated, ensuring a perfect fit and color for you!
2” Double-Lock
The most versatile option, these panels are joined together using a folding machine which double-folds the panels together, eliminating need for fasteners and clips.
This option ensures near-impenetrability from any exterior moisture, and requires no nails or screws into the decking.
1.5” Snap-Lock
Our most preferred option, these panels are fastened together using clips on the underside of the panel edges, resulting in a clean visual appearance. Similar to the 2” Double-Lock, these panels require no nails or screws into the decking, greatly reducing the risk of penetration and leaks.
1” Snap-Lock
As a budget-friendly option, these panels do require screwing into the decking, as they are not fastened with any clips, but only snap into one another.
