R Panel Metal Siding R panel is the most popular metal siding panel that we offer. It's an excellent choice for a commercial building. There are many R panel colors to choose from and it's available in 26 or 24 gauge steel. R panel sheet metal is a perfect choice when you want an exposed fastener panel that has a square or boxy panel profile. PBR metal panel and R panels are very similar. The only difference is the sidelap. PBR panel is a stronger panel that's appropriate for roofing, siding, or fencing. R Panel should not be used for roofing. R Panel vs. PBR Panel Are you wondering what's the difference between R panel and PBR panel? If you’ve been researching R Panels, you most likely have also come across PBR-Panels. With such similar names and appearances, it is easy to get PBR-Panels and R-Panels confused. In fact, they have identical profiles and the same 36” coverage. However, it’s important to know the difference between the two panels to fully understand your options. PBR Panels include a larger overlap section, known as a purlin bearing leg, that R-Panels don’t have. This section between the panels gives the metal roofing more strength. PBR-panels are more weather tight due to the overlapping that creates a moisture barrier. The weaker connection of R Panels makes the likelihood of leaks greater. PBR is overall a stronger panel due to how each panel is connected to one another. A person walking on the roof will not crush the PBR-panel. However, R-Panels might buckle from the weight of workers during installation or repairs. In a roofing application PBR-Panel would be a better product. If you have a wall or a metal siding application, either panel profile would be fine. Keep in mind that the cost difference is 2% to 3% so most manufacturers will only offer PBR Panel and will not sell R Panel roofing. How To Install R-Panel R-Panels have an exposed fastener system, meaning the fasteners penetrate the panels. Each time this occurs it’s a potential leak point. Also there are visible screw heads throughout the panel post-installation. A benefit of an exposed fastener system is that the installation is generally faster and simpler compared to a concealed fastener system. As a result, the installation costs on R-Panel are usually 30% to 50% less expensive than the installation of a standing seam metal roofing. A simpler installation also makes R-Panel a good choice for a DIY project, as less time, tools, and experience is required for installation. R-Panel Colors R-Panel is offered in more color options than most metal panels. This is because it’s also offered in multiple paint finishes. In fact at Western States Metal Roofing, we offer R-Panel in over 100 unique specialty paint prints and colors in both paint finishes.
