Commercial Metal Panels Built for Strength
Commonly referred to as PBR-panels, R-Loc® 26-gauge commercial metal panels are an outstanding choice for any project that requires commercial grade performance. The panels have a larger section that completely overlaps the next panel. Consequently, this creates more metal to metal contact which yields a stronger connection and therefore are more weather-tight.
R-Loc® is designed for durability and strength and to maximize the potential of your structure, specifically the steel frame. These purlin-bearing rib (PBR) metal panels can be used for both walls and roofs, and can be installed either vertically or horizontally. As a result, whether used for roofing, siding or metal building projects, these commercial metal panels are an extremely popular choice.
