WESTERN RIB® (7.2 PANEL) - BONDERIZED®

Bonderized will look like a weathered zinc or an old metal roof. It was developed because it is easier to paint than galvanized and many other finishes. However, in recent years architects have used Bonderized for roofing and siding without applying a paint to the steel. This is done to achieve a beautiful dull gray weathered look. Bonderized is NOT a paint finish and there is no paint warranty. Bonderized also known as " Paint Grip " looks excellent from BOTH up close and from a distance.

Bonderized can be used in exterior or interior applications. It is a perfect solution for an interior application as it arrives looking patina'd.

If you are interested in this color I would highly recommend requesting a sample of Western Rib in Bonderized. You really need to see this panel up close to appreciate the beauty and authenticity of this finish.

The two main advantages in using Bonderized when compared to Zinc or Galvanized are:

1. Bonderized arrives looking weathered. You don NOT have to wait for it to look dull and weathered.
2. Significant cost savings when compared to Steelscape Vintage or zinc finishes.

There are some things to be cautious of when using Bonderized for metal roofing and siding:

1. NO WARRANTY

2. Material may develop white rust after installation.

3. When the material arrives on the jobsite it cannot get wet. Whether that moisture is from rain and/or condensation from a cold to hot day. If moisture gets into a tightly stacked bundle and sits there it will cause white rust.

4. Scratches easily.

If any of the above concerns are a problem than we would recommend that you look at Patina or Vintage. Both are painted products designed to look like a dull gray weathered product. See the home page of this website for more info.

SYMMETRICAL RIB, 7.2" PITCH, EXPOSED FASTENING ROOF PANELS

Architecture, as any compositional art, makes extensive use of symmetry and it’s no mystery why architects prefer using our Western Rib Exposed Fastening Roof Panels for their projects. The 7.2-inch on center spacing between ribs is aesthetically pleasing and offers symmetrical balance to architectural projects which require a design that compliments the subject of their work – making it an excellent choice for contemporary design applications.

Our 7.2” exposed fastener panels are ideal for commercial and industrial applications but also work exceptionally well on both parapet walls and facades. With wider coverage and fewer panels to install, the Western Rib trapezoidal design also provides superior load and span capacities, saving money in structural support. Add fiberglass panels to match the profile of the metal panels as decorative accents or to transition smoothly from steel to skylight.

Metal Roof Design Ideas

Western Rib® is easy to install and can be used in a variety of applications including roofing and siding material for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential projects.

• Exterior applications: Total roofing area, an accent to a roof in conjunction with other architectural elements of design, metal siding, decorative fencing, restaurants, movie sets and much more.
• Interior applications: Focal point or backdrops such as backsplash in a bath or kitchen, textured ceiling, and a wall treatment.
