METALMAX EXPOSED FASTENER PANELS
Exposed fastener metal panels are a durable, cost-effective solution for roofing and siding across residential, commercial, and agricultural projects. These panels are installed by driving fasteners directly through the face of the panel into the structure, making installation fast, straightforward, and budget-friendly.
MetalMax offers four exposed fastener panel profiles — PBU Panel, PBR Panel, MaxPanel™, and 5V Crimp — each engineered for specific applications ranging from industrial buildings to barns and homes. With a wide selection of colors, gauges, and rib profiles, our exposed fastener systems deliver reliable performance, weather resistance, and versatile design options. Whether you’re working on new construction or a retrofit, these panels offer long-lasting protection with minimal maintenance.
