Frequently Asked Questions
What are exposed fastener metal panels?
Exposed fastener metal panels are metal roof and wall panels secured with fasteners that remain visible on the panel surface. Western Steel offers PBR, PBU, and PBC profiles for roof and wall applications.
What is the difference between PBR, PBU, and PBC metal panels?
Western Steel offers three exposed fastener panel profiles: PBR, PBU, and PBC. They differ in coverage width and recommended minimum roof slope. PBR and PBU have a listed 36-inch coverage width, while PBC has a 32-inch coverage width. Refer to each profile’s technical specifications for project requirements.
Can exposed fastener metal panels be used for both roofs and walls?
What is the minimum roof slope for exposed fastener metal panels?
The recommended minimum roof slope varies by panel profile. Western Steel lists PBR at Zx:12 on the current page, PBU at 1:12, and PBC at 3:12. Confirm the PBR specification with Western Steel before publishing, as its displayed value appears to contain a formatting error.
What gauges are available for Western Steel’s exposed fastener panels?
Western Steel lists 26-gauge Galvalume as the standard substrate for its PBR, PBU, and PBC panels, with 29-, 24-, and 22-gauge options also listed. Confirm the appropriate panel specifications for your project with a qualified professional.
