PBR Panel (R-Panel)
PBR (also called R-Panel) is the most widely used metal roofing and siding panel in Texas and Oklahoma. Metal Warehouse Inc. roll-forms PBR panels on-site to any length.
PBR Panel - the industry name for this panel profile - is a structural exposed-fastener panel with a major rib at 12" spacing and two minor ribs between. It provides excellent structural performance, spans well between purlins, and installs quickly with exposed screws. PBR is the standard panel for commercial, agricultural, and industrial metal buildings throughout the southern United States.
