R Panel

What is R-PANEL?

The R-Panel/PBR Panel stands out as a superior choice for both roof and wall applications. Its distinctive profile design and rib height provide maximum strength, making it ideal for roofs with very low slopes. This versatility makes it perfect for commercial and industrial projects, while also being suitable for residential and post-frame applications.

These panels, available exclusively in 26-gauge material, can be installed over open framing or solid decking, offering flexibility to meet various construction needs. The key distinction between the R-Panel and the PBR-Panel lies in the Purlin-Bearing Leg featured on the PBR-Panel. This leg offers enhanced support, particularly beneficial for roof applications, ensuring greater stability and durability.

The PBR-Panel is available in Galvalume and Bone White, providing a sleek and modern look while maintaining its structural integrity. On the other hand, the R-Panel, designed specifically for wall applications, comes in a variety of color options, allowing for customization to match any aesthetic preference.

Whether you’re looking to outfit a commercial building, an industrial facility, a residential property, or a post-frame structure, the R-Panel/PBR Panel delivers exceptional performance and visual appeal. Its construction and versatile design make it a reliable and attractive solution for a wide range of applications.
