Product Overview

What Is R-Panel Metal Roofing?

R-Panel is an exposed-fastener corrugated steel roofing system, recognizable by its distinct ribbed profile and visible screws securing each panel to the decking. It’s a durable, cost-effective metal roofing option well suited for agricultural buildings, detached garages, workshops, and budget-conscious residential applications where the exposed-fastener appearance fits the structure.

Central Texas

Why R-Panel Performs in This Climate

R-Panel’s Class 4 impact resistance and lack of organic material make it significantly more resilient to Central Texas hail and UV exposure than asphalt shingles, even at its more accessible price point. For outbuildings, garages, and budget-focused residential applications, it delivers metal roofing’s core durability advantages without the cost of a concealed-fastener system.

Why This Product

What Makes R-Panel Worth Choosing

R-Panel delivers the core benefits of metal roofing, no granules to lose, Class 4 impact resistance, and a significantly longer lifespan than asphalt, at the most accessible price point in Ark’s metal lineup. The tradeoff is exposed fasteners, which require periodic inspection since the rubber washers around each screw can degrade over time. For the right application, that tradeoff is a reasonable one for the cost savings it delivers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About R-Panel Metal Roofing

R-Panel is most commonly used for agricultural buildings, garages, and budget-conscious residential applications. For a primary residence where a cleaner, concealed-fastener appearance is preferred, Standing Seam is generally the recommended specification.
The rubber washers around exposed fasteners can degrade over time, which is the primary long-term maintenance consideration with R-Panel. Periodic inspection and washer replacement as needed extends the system’s leak-free performance.
R-Panel offers significantly better impact resistance, no granule loss, and a much longer lifespan than asphalt shingles, at a cost point higher than asphalt but lower than Standing Seam metal.
Cost depends on roof size, gauge selection, and finish. The most accurate way to understand your specific cost is a consultation.

Ark not only replaced my roof, they totally redone my home's exterior. The best-looking work I have ever had done. Nice to have a local Georgetown business right up the road.

The company president is personally committed to excellence from start to finish. He conducted a detailed survey, including an inspection from inside the attic and a drone overview. One of the best experiences we have ever had with a contractor.
