​Other names for "metal panel" Roofing

Other names for "metal panels" in roofing, especially those used for agricultural or general utility buildings

  1. Exposed Fastener Metal Panels: This is the most accurate and widely used professional term that directly describes how these panels are installed (the screws are visible).

  2. Ribbed Metal Panels: This term refers to the profile (the raised ribs) on the panel, which is a defining characteristic of many exposed fastener panels, including "AG Panels." You'll often hear variations like "Tuff Rib," "R-Panel," "PBR Panel," "G-Rib," or "MasterRib" which are specific manufacturers' names for their ribbed, exposed fastener profiles.

  3. Agricultural (AG) Panels: While widely understood in the context of farm buildings, it's less formal for general roofing. However, it's still commonly used and recognized, especially by those familiar with the history of these panels.

  4. Screw-Down Panels: This is another descriptive term for exposed fastener systems.
