Its design ensures efficient water shedding, making it an ideal choice for roofing applications, while its durable construction allows it to withstand varying environmental conditions when used as siding.
PBU and U Panel are praised for their versatility and functionality in metal roofing and siding projects. PBU panel is uniquely characterized by an additional “leg” on one side of the sheet, a slight but critical modification that enhances its application versatility and strength. This design feature enables a symmetrical look that’s both modern and streamlined, making it an excellent choice for projects requiring a balance between aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
Typically utilized for its aesthetic versatility and structural reliability, U panel serves a dual purpose in construction: it provides a protective layer against the elements while enhancing the building’s overall appearance. Its clean, low profile makes it a suitable option for projects seeking a contemporary look without sacrificing functionality.
At Oates Metal Deck, U panel features robustly in our selection due to not just its versatile application but also because of its specialized features, including a 36″ coverage width, availability in Galvalume Plus, and painted finishes. Our U panel options are customizable in a wide array of colors, finishes, and coatings, allowing clients to tailor the product to their specific project needs. Importantly, Oates Metal Deck’s U panels are designed for easy installation, ensuring project efficiency, and are engineered to offer energy-efficient solutions with insulation options, thus contributing to a sustainable building approach.
