Product Information
R-Panel Product Overview
The industry’s most widely used exposed fastener panel engineered for speed, coverage, and long-term structural performance in roof and wall applications.
R-Panel (PBR Panel) — Structural Overview
R-Panel is a through-fastened structural metal panel with 1¼” high ribs at 12″ on center and 36″ coverage width. It installs directly over purlins or a solid deck using exposed fasteners, making it one of the fastest and most cost-effective panel systems for commercial and agricultural use.
R-Panel performs equally well on both roof and wall applications, offering consistent structural performance, even-shadowed appearance, and broad compatibility with standard metal building systems across the U.S.
✓36″ coverage width · 1¼” ribs at 12″ o.c.
✓Gauges: 22, 24, 26 ga
✓Finishes: Galvalume®, Painted SMP, Painted PVDF/Kynar®, Galvanized
✓Optional Purlin Bearing Leg (PBR) — rests directly on purlins
✓Minimum slope 1:12 (roof) · vertical & horizontal wall use
✓Cut-to-length: 3 ft to 45 ft
✓Florida Building Code & Miami-Dade Hurricane Zone approved
Coating Options
Available Finishes
Choose the finish that best matches your project environment, durability requirements, and budget.
Galvalume® Panels
An aluminum-zinc alloy coating applied to the steel substrate, providing superior corrosion resistance and long service life. Galvalume is the industry standard for unpainted or light-colored metal roof and wall panels. Ideal for commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications where maximum durability and low maintenance are priorities.
Painted Panels
Factory-applied paint finishes in a wide range of colors. SMP (Silicone Modified Polyester) is a cost-effective option for standard commercial and agricultural projects. PVDF / Kynar® 500 offers superior UV resistance and color retention for premium, long-lasting performance on demanding commercial applications. Available on Galvalume substrate.
