R-Panel Metal Roofing

What This Service Involves

R-panel, also called PBR panel, is a trapezoidal exposed-fastener system prized for covering large roof spans efficiently across Western Washington. Its tall, boxy ribs add rigidity and shed heavy Puget Sound rain quickly, making it a workhorse for shops, garages, agricultural buildings, and modern homes. The wide coverage per panel speeds installation on big roofs while the high ribs keep runoff moving and debris from collecting. Paired with quality gasketed fasteners and closures, R-panel delivers dependable, economical metal protection in our demanding wet climate.

Benefits

Wide panels cover large spans quickly and economically; tall ribs handle heavy rainfall and resist debris buildup; strong, rigid profile for shops and outbuildings; Galvalume and painted finishes resist maritime corrosion; simple to source and repair
