The Roof Store R Panels have been fabricated to withstand structural and thermal movement, wind loading and weather exposure to maintain manufacturer’s performance criteria without defects, damage, failure or infiltration of water. Thickness is 26 gauge (0.455 mm thickness). Galvalume coating is self-healing and helps prevents rusting by doubling the life of the R Panel compared to a Galvanized sheet of R Panel. For every 100 square feet of R Panels, you'll need 66 of the 1 1/4 inch Field Screws and 33 of the 3/4 inch Lap Screws. Email me special sizes, colors, and quantities you need. We want to know how to help your R Panel metal needs. Lead time is 45 days.
The tall rib has a height of 1.25 inches. The tall ribs are 12 inches apart from each other. There are two smaller ribs in between the tall ribs (see diagram 2.1).
3 sheets (10 ft x 3 ft) cover 90 square feet.
R Panels are made of color coated steel plate, galvanized plate and other metal plates by rolling and cold bending into various corrugated profiled plates. It is applicable to the roof, wall and interior and exterior wall decoration of industrial and civil buildings, warehouses, special buildings, large-span steel structure houses, etc. It has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, rich color, convenient and fast construction, earthquake resistance, fire protection, rainproof, long service life, maintenance free, etc., and has been widely applied.
There are 1,998 pieces per 20 ft container. Weight of 20 ft container is 28 tons (56,000 pounds)
The Roof Store R-Panels are a multi-use wall and roof panel used primarily in pre-engineered metal building applications. R-Panel is also a popular choice for residential metal roofing, especially in the Southwest. An optional purlin bearing leg (PBR) rests on purlins and provides support for fastening the panel lap.
Installation of R-panel roofs requires a minimum slope of 1:12 and butyl sealant should be utilized in the laps.
Water Penetration: No uncontrolled water penetration through the panel joints at astatic pressure of 12.0 psf (0.57 kPa) when tested in accordance with ASTME1646.
Fire rating: Class A
Uplift Tests: UL580 Class 90, ASTME 1592
In order for your roof to perform as intended, water must properly drain from the roof. Avoid the following:
Keep foot traffic to a minimum. Heavy foot traffic can cause ponding on low pitched roofs. This is particularly true just upslope from the eave and at end laps. Always walk in the flat of the panel near a supporting roof structural. Do not walk on trim or in gutters. On bare Galvalume roofs, excessive foot traffic may cause black burnish marks. If regular foot traffic is planned for a roof, provisions should be made for a properly designed and installed roof walkway system. In order to limit access to the roof, roof hatches or access ladders should be locked at all times. A sign should be posted at the point of access, stating that only authorized personnel are allowed onto the roof. In addition, a log book should be kept of all visits to the roof and the reason for such visits.
Excessive ice and snow should be removed from the roof immediately to prevent damage to roof and possible collapse. Do not use metal tools to remove the ice or snow as this can damage the paint and/or Galvalume coatings. Also, be careful around plumbing pipes and flashings. Be extremely careful if your roof has Light Transmitting Panels. THESE PANELS WILL NOT SUPPORT A PERSON'SWEIGHT AND WILL BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IF THEY ARE COVERED WITH ICE AND SNOW.
