COPPER ROOFING

Central Missouri Copper Roofing Company

When it comes to metal roofing, copper is one of the most unique materials. Its brilliant color makes it stand out, and it’s among the more splendid options in residential metal roofing. A copper roof adds curb appeal to the home and excellent resale value.

Royal Roofing & Solar also specializes in other metal roof types, from standing seam, corrugated, aluminum, and steel roofs.

What is Copper?

Copper is a shiny, reddish-brown metal. It’s an element on the periodic table and is found naturally in the earth. It is soft and highly malleable, meaning it can be shaped into any design you want. When installed on a roof, it can be made to look like brick, tile, shingles, and much more.

Types of Copper Roofing

While copper roofing looks great on any building and can be molded into any design you want, there aren’t many types of copper-specific roofing, and each one has its own intended purposes.

Continuous

Continuous copper roofing is manufactured and cut precisely for the job. It’s installed without joints, seams, or other breaks. It’s the most expensive option because it involves the most time and effort to manufacture and install to exact specifications.

Copper Panels

Copper panels are cut in standard widths and installed with joints and seams. Sometimes the seams are crimped together, and other times they’re welded together during installation. It is less expensive than continuous copper roofing.

Copper Shingles

Copper shingles are low in cost and can be installed like other shingles. They’re secured with fasteners to prevent a reaction during contact with other metals. They’re elegant, stately, and look great on any home.

Advantages of a Copper Roof

Increased curb appeal

One of the primary benefits of using copper as a roofing material is its curb appeal. Its bright copper color shines brilliantly from afar, making your home stand out. It increases your home’s resale value and assures new buyers that they are getting a sturdy, long-lasting roof.

Durability

Copper is very strong and durable, being able to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Thanks to its durability, copper roofing will last for fifty years or more with regular professional repairs and maintenance.

Lightweight

Copper roofing is very lightweight, so it minimizes the stress you put on your home’s frame, which is critical during heavy snowfall like we see in Central Missouri every winter. The lightweight composition of copper roofing also makes it cheaper to install.

Impervious to mold, rot and fire

Copper has natural anti-microbial qualities that prevent it from growing algae, bacteria, mold, and other fungi. It’s also fire-proof, which is another significant advantage to all types of metal roofing.

Environmentally friendly

One of the most appealing things about metal roofing is its recyclable properties and the fact that it’s replenishable, sustainable, and eco friendly.
