Exposed fastener panels offer immense versatility thanks to the wide range of panels offered. Our customers can select from 12 distinct panel styles they can utilize on exterior and interior applications.
Exposed fastener panels are identified by five main criteria:
Panels are overlapped and fastened directly to the roof deck or framing through the face of the metal panel, and they are referred to as "exposed fastener" panels because the fastener head remains visible once installed. Commercial panels are typically 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" tall.
Protective metal panel coatings enhance the performance of exposed fastener panels. While there are several popular coatings, PVDF/Kynar 500® coatings provide the best protection against fade and chalk and give the best long-term performance. Available in a rich range of colors, high-performing coatings are essential when considering enduring performance and aesthetics.
Another benefit of concealed fastener panels is the reduced leak exposure. Because the fasteners are located behind the panels, the risk of leaks is effectively minimized.
