Metal Roofing and Metal Wall Panels
Metal Roofing
SNAP-CLAD metal panels feature architectural roofing panel aesthetics as well as structural metal panel performance. SNAP-CLAD panels, produced in continuous lengths, are corrective leveled to provide superior flatness and feature an optional factory-applied sealant bead for improved weather resistance. Maximum panel length is 64 feet and minimum panel length is 4 feet. SNAP-CLAD roofing panels feature a 1-3/4" leg height and a continuous interlock for improved structural performance and wind resistance. A concealed fastener clip system allows for thermal expansion/contraction while providing extraordinary hold-down strength. Two clips are available: a standard clip for most mansard and fascia applications and a high-performance clip for roofing application and UL 90 rated assemblies.
PAC T-250 panels are factory-formed or field-formed to length and field-seamed. The panels have been designed for application over a wide variety of substrates on roof slopes as low as 1/2 : 12. PAC T-250 panels can be produced in 22 and 24 gauge steel or .032 and .040 aluminum. The PAC T-250 panel combines structural performance with architectural aesthetics. PAC T-250 panels feature a 2.625" nominal finished panel height from the deck that requires mechanical field seaming after installation. The panels have a continuous and/or intermittent concealed-fastener clip system designed to allow for thermal expansion/contraction. Sealant beads are factory-applied to the seam cover.
Roll Form
Roll-formed metal panels are designed and produced for commercial and residential applications. This declaration is intended for business-to-business applications (B2B).
Panels are custom roll-formed from coils of steel or aluminum to fit a variety of roof and wall applications. The panels can be factory-formed (Figure 1) or formed on the job site using a mobile roll former (Figure 2) or a combination of both. The metal panels offer long-term durability and come in a broad pallette of colors and finishes to maximize design options. A wide range of panel profiles is available to meet building code and aesthetic requirements.
Metal Wall Panel & Siding Systems
With the Precision Series wall panels as part of our extensive line of architectural wall panels, Petersen offers unmatched design flexibility by combining bold visual effects with easy, cost-effective installation. Profiles are available in varying rib patterns. Widths are available in two options. The rib patterns provide a dramatic appearance for any building's exterior, and with a full palette of PAC-CLAD finishes to choose from, can complement all architectural elements on a building's envelope. Precision Series wall panels also can be installed vertically in some applications, and can be produced to a maximum length of 25'. Additionally, the Precision Series panels can be specified as perforated for use in equipment screen applications.
Precision Series Box Rib architectural wall panels provide design flexibility by combining bold visual effects with easy, cost-effective installation. Multiple profiles are available with a variety of rib patterns. Each profile is offered in a no-clip panel, or a clip-fastened panel to accommodate expansion and contraction.
The Box Rib profiles are 1-3/8" deep and a nominal 12" wide. All precision Series profiles, including Box Rib, Highline and HWP, can be intermixed to add visual intensity to a building's exterior. Precision Series wall panels can be installed horizontally or vertically. Consult Petersen rep for maximum length; minimum panel length is 4'.
Additionally, Precision Series wall panels can be specified as perforated but only in aluminum for use in equipment screen applications, over graphics or for architectural flair.
Box Rib panels should be installed in single-piece runs, either horizontally or vertically. For panels more than 20-ft. long, the clip version should be utilized. For panels less than 20-ft. long, the screw leg version is acceptable. For wall elevations with panels longer than 36-ft., flashing breaks must be used as indicated by the architect or designer. Box Rib panels are NOT designed to be field-lapped over one another
The PAC-CLAD Modular AL wall panel system from Petersen empowers designers to create unique cassette-style metal cladding surfaces using panels of various sizes, depths and multiple colors. Panel dimensions can be standardized, or designers can define panel dimensions and depths to create truly unique, flexible, and eye-catching patterns. Vertical or horizontal panels can be combined in the same layout. Panels can be finished in any combination of the 46 standard PAC-CLAD colors, Wood Grain, Ore or custom colors. Panels can be perforated, including in specific patterns that spell words or form logos. Installation of Modular AL wall panels can be performed on a variety of substrates including plywood, insulation, purlins, or any combination of these.
The Board and Batten panel system provides a timeless design aesthetic for commercial and residential wall applications. It uses a concealed fastener system to maintain clean lines and a rhythmic pattern of alternating wide vertical boards and narrower elevated battens. The ¾" batten depth and 2" width create dimensional interest while keeping trim offsets to a minimum. Board and Batten panels blend smoothly into various architectural styles. Whether creating a cozy and inviting facade or a bold and striking statement, Board and Batten exterior wall panels remain a versatile tool for architectural creativity.
Exposed Fastener Panels
Soffit Panels
Stiffener beads can be added to the Flush panel for increased strength and aesthetics. Stiffener beads are recommended for longer panel lengths. One or two beads are available at no additional cost.

Perforated metal can provide a contrasting look with any non-perforated metal to create visual interest on any project. Perforated panels can be specified to diffuse light, air or sound, or simply for architectural flair. Maximum open area and hole size limitations apply for roll-formed panels. Typical applications include equipment screens, partitions, sign panels, parking decks, guards, interior acoustical applications and enclosures of any kind. Aluminum can be perforated for any project. An extra charge is applied for perforation. Check with local facility for specific panel profiles that can be perforated.

H-Shield NB is a rigid roof insulation composite panel composed of a closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam core manufactured on-line to a fiber reinforced facer on one side and either 7 ⁄16" or 5 ⁄8" oriented strand board (OSB) on the other. H-Shield NB can also be manufactured off-line bonded to 5 ⁄8" or 3 ⁄4" plywood.
H-Shield HD is a 1 ⁄2" thick high-density polyiso insulation panel specifically designed for use as a cover board. It is manufactured on-line to a premium performance coated glass facer on both sides (CGF). H-Shield HD delivers an R-value of 2.5 in its 1 ⁄2" profile; significantly higher than roof cover boards made with other materials such as wood fiber or gypsum.
H-Shield HD Composite CG is composed of two products, H-Shield HD - a 1⁄2" high-density polyiso cover board, manufactured on-line to H-Shield CG - a premium performance faced polyiso - creating a monolithic composite panel (CGF). This product is ideal for commercial roofing projects that require high thermal efficiency combined with maximum durability in both new construction and retrofit applications. R-value is optimized with a thinner profile than other insulations available on the market

Metal cladding adds visual punch to exterior of Texas university housing Historically, the University of Texas at San Antonio, with an enrollment of almost 30,000, has been considered a commuter school for area students.

This vacation villa right on Great Cruz Bay, on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, has gone from eyesore to landmark, thanks to a major restoration following Hurricane Irma's direct hit on the island in 2017. That storm severely damaged the home's roof, which was already in need of structural repair, and underscored the need to seal in its largely open-to-the-elements floor plan more securely. The finished result makes the most of the stunning location – the owners have rechristened the place “C'est la Sea," which could be any Francophone's utterance upon arrival. Its new, stunning blue metal roof stands out against the island's green hills and has made the place a navigational aid and spawned a raft of imitators in the process.
