Metal Roofing Panel and Sheet FAQs

What are Metal Roofing Panels and Sheets?

Metal roofing panels and metal roofing sheets are terms commonly used to describe steel and aluminum products used for metal roofing or other building cladding purposes. These products are manufactured in a process called roll-forming. Roll-forming progressively bends flat strips of metal into a range of different product shapes. Forming metal into panels imparts strength, performance, shape, and form to the metal roofing panel. In the roll-forming process, Metal roofing panels are manufactured from a continuous strip of metal, enabling panels to be cut at precise lengths specific to project requirements.

What Are The Main Differences in Metal Roofing Panels?

The two most common types of metal roofing panels are concealed fastened panels and exposed fastener panels. Key differences include:

• Concealed fastener metal roofing panels, such as standing seam roofing, conceal the fasteners once installed. This provides a cleaner look and improved performance by reducing the fastener’s exposure to the elements. Generally, these metal roofing panels are more complex to install and feature narrower panel coverage that contributes to a higher installed cost. The most common application of concealed fastener metal roofing panels is residential and commercial roofing.
• Exposed fastener metal roofing panels are attached to the building by drilling through the panel. This allows for a faster installation process. These panels are generally wider and shipped in nested bundles, which contributes to lower transport costs and installation costs. The most common applications of exposed fastener metal roofing panels are metal buildings and agricultural structures.

Within each of these product groups, metal roofing panels can vary in terms of coverage (width), and the angle, repeat, and depth of panel ribs. Panel rib design can influence panel strength and the prominence of shadow lines.

What Are Important Metal Roofing Panel Product Options?

Outside of the product design, most metal roofing panels will have the following product options:

• Color and paint system – Metal Panels are available in different colors to meet different design criteria and may also be available in different paint systems. Paint systems can vary from good to excellent and influence performance, warranty coverage, and cost.
• Metal thickness –Known as gauge, metal roofing panels are typically offered in two or three different gauges. Metal thickness will directly influence the strength, weight, and cost of the metal panel.
• Other panel-specific options – Metal roofing panels with large flat areas, such as standing seam metal roofing panels, may have options including striations or pencil ribs. These subtle accents can help avoid unintentional waviness associated with light-gauge sheet metal known as oil canning.

How Do I Install Metal Roofing Panels and Sheets?
