What Is an R Panel?
An R Panel (where “R” stands for “Ribbed”) is a multi-use, exposed fastener metal wall and roof panel that was originally designed for pre-engineered metal buildings. Since its inception, its use has expanded into commercial, industrial, agricultural, and even residential applications — particularly in the southwestern United States where it is widely used for barndominiums, shops, and residential metal roofing.
Our company's R Panel Roll Forming Machine is primarily used to produce products featuring this specific panel profile.
An R Panel Roll Forming Machine is an industrial machine that continuously produces R panels – one of the most popular exposed fastener metal roofing and siding profiles in North America, particularly for commercial, industrial, and post‑frame (pole barn) buildings.
The “R” stands for “Ribbed” , referring to the panel’s distinctive trapezoidal ribs. R panels were originally designed for pre‑engineered metal buildings (PEMB) but are now widely used for warehouses, agricultural structures, barndominiums, and even residential metal roofing.

FAQ
What is the difference between R panel and PBR panel?
PBR stands for “purlin bearing rib.” The PBR version adds a bearing leg that rests on the roof purlin for extra support during installation. PBR panels are typically used for roofing; non-PBR R panels are more common for wall applications. PBR is considered the roof panel, while R panels are generally used for wall panels.
What is the difference between R panel and AG panel?
R panel has taller ribs (1¼″ vs. ¾″) and wider rib spacing (12″ vs. 9″), both with 36″ coverage. R panel is made in thicker gauges (26ga or heavier) and is stronger – used for commercial/industrial projects. AG panel is more affordable and lighter – used for agricultural/residential.
What material can I use?
Galvanized steel, Galvalume®, PPGI (pre‑painted), aluminum. Coil width approximately 43 inches.
