Features & Benefits
Features & Benefits of Symmetrical Rib 7.2” Exposed Fastening Roof Panel
- Economical – There is no loss of material for the lap. Western Rib will yield 36" coverage and that means fewer panels to handle and install, saving time and money.
- 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.
- Symmetrical - This exposed fastener panel features a symmetrical rib profile that creates a strong shadow effect, making it an excellent choice for contemporary design applications.
- Versatile – Can be installed either vertically or horizontally as a wall application.

WESTERN RIB® (7.2 PANEL) IN AN ALMOND KYNAR PAINT FINISH
Almond has a paint warranty and looks excellent from BOTH up close and from a distance.
It can be used in exterior or interior applications. If you are interested in this color I would highly recommend requesting a sample panel in Almond.
Symmetrical Rib, 7.2" Pitch, Exposed Fastening Roof Panels
Architecture, as any compositional art, makes extensive use of symmetry and it’s no mystery why architects prefer using our Western Rib Exposed Fastening Roof Panels for their projects. The 7.2-inch on center spacing between ribs is aesthetically pleasing and offers symmetrical balance to architectural projects which require a design that compliments the subject of their work – making it an excellent choice for contemporary design applications.
Our 7.2” exposed fastener panels are ideal for commercial and industrial applications but also work exceptionally well on both parapet walls and facades. With wider coverage and fewer panels to install, the Western Rib trapezoidal design also provides superior load and span capacities, saving money in structural support. Add fiberglass panels to match the profile of the metal panels as decorative accents or to transition smoothly from steel to skylight.
Metal Roof Design Ideas
Western Rib® 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.
