PBR/R-Panel Metal Siding
For Commerical, Industrial, and Residential Construction Projects
Experiment with different colors, finishes, and panels on your building before you decide.
What Is PBR Panel?
R panel is the nicest panel available for the least amount of money. A metal roof installation on a home or business is a smart investment in regions with volatile weather. Persistent rain and wind can damage typical shingled roofs, requiring costly repairs almost every year.
Our R-Panel metal roofing and siding, often referred to as a Purlin Bearing Rib (PBR) Panels, are a low-maintenance, durable alternative to conventional roofing and adds extra protection against the elements by including a purlin bearing leg that overlaps between panels sealing out moisture and wind. These panels can be installed either on a solid substrate or open framing such as metal purlins or wood support beams.

Standard Colors
Our standard Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF), has a chemical composition that gives it high mechanical strength and superior abrasion resistance. The tough engineering thermoplastic has increased durability, excellent chemical resistance to halogen and acids that can cause degradation. The surface of PVDF panels is able to handle high temperatures and extensive ultraviolet ray exposure while resisting fading and chalking for longer than SMP painted panels.
By using aluminum roofing and siding panels in PVDF paint, you will have vibrant and attractive painted aluminum panels for longer than any other paint system.

About Metal Roofing
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I use PBR/R-Panel Metal Roofing Panels?
R-Panel is easy to install and can be used in a variety of applications including roofing and siding material for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential projects.
- Exterior applications: Total roofing area, an accent to a roof in conjunction with other architectural elements of design, metal siding, decorative fencing, restaurants, movie sets and much more.
- Interior applications: Focal point or backdrops such as backsplash in a bath or kitchen, textured ceiling, and a wall treatment.
What are the features and benefits of metal roofing?
- Corrosion and Rust Resistant – Our metal roofing and siding panels and sheet steel products are coated with Galvalume®/Zincalume® – an aluminum-zinc alloy coating with extraordinary outdoor corrosion resistance.
- Durable – Metal Roofing coated with Galvalume®/Zincalume® will have an exceptionally long life expectancy.
- Rot Resistant – Since metal is an inorganic material, unlike wood, it does not rot – making it the best choice in roofing material by builders and architects alike.
- Pest and Termite Resistant – Bugs, pests, and termites cannot penetrate through metal materials making a corrugated metal roofing system your best defense against unwanted creatures.
- Fire Resistant – Metal roofs are noncombustible and have a Class A fire rating. Class C rating when applied over a combustible material such as wood shingles.
- Wind Resistant – Metal roofing can withstand powerful wind gusts.
- Lightweight – Lightens the load in installation and reduces the load bearing weight on support walls and beams.
- Stylish – Available in various colors and can be ordered in a variety of premium specialty finishes.
- Energy Efficient – Metal roofs with a “Cool” paint finish reflect solar radiant heat, which can help reduce cooling costs.
- Eco-Friendly – Metal roofing is made from recycled content. Corrugated roofing panels are also recyclable at the end of their life as a roof. In contrast, most shingle tear-off waste ends up as part of the building-related waste stream – up to 20 billion pounds per year.
What is the difference between Exposed Fastener Panels vs. Concealed Fastener Panels?
- Exposed fastener metal roof and wall panels are made with fasteners that can pierce through the panel’s face and attach to the structure. The panel seam will not cover the fastening head, making it visible. It is the most affordable type of panels and it is easier to install compared to concealed fastener panels.
- Concealed fastener metal roof and wall panels are fastened to the structure in a way that hides the screws. Instead, clips and/or screws are secured behind the panel’s face for concealed fastening panels during installation. After installation, concealed fasteners blend with the wall’s appearance. For protection from the weather, they are concealed behind interlocking panel joints, giving the panels a smoother appearance than roofing panels with exposed fasteners.
