X = Purlin-Bearing Leg
Low Rib is our versatile rib panel that is excellent in most applications.
Available in multiple finishes to fit every application, the smaller 6" ribs on this panel option have a less industrial look and are more popular for residential buildings.
The Low Rib panel has a purlin bearing leg that provides support to the bottom of the panel when installing the lap fasteners. This panel is recommended for roof slopes of 1:12 or greater.
This profile can be used for roof and walls in residential and commercial projects. It's also commonly used for soffits, interior wall liner and partitions. It can also be installed horizontally, giving a clean and simple appearance to your project.
Choose Low Rib and you can count on Whirlwind to deliver your order quickly, on time and undamaged.
