What is Metal Panels?

Roofing Glossary · Materials

Definition

A broad category of metal roofing products including exposed-fastener corrugated, R-panel, and through-fastened systems. Less expensive to install than standing seam, metal panels are common on agricultural, commercial, and budget residential applications. Exposed fasteners require periodic inspection and re-tightening, and the fastener washers are the primary maintenance item over the roof's life.
