Select companies to work with for wall panels or roofing panels that offer the types you need, in the sizes, shapes, widths and thickness requirements you have. Some options include channels, purlins, profiles, flashings, deck paneling, planking and subgrits. Metals commonly used for panel products include aluminum, stainless, galvanized and copper.

Determine the type of roofing panels you need. Customization is an option available from most leading companies. Some companies offer specialization, such as in industrial roofing or residential roofing. For metal roofing panels and siding panels, think about these tips:

1. Consider the durability of the building panels you select based on specific project needs.

2. Look into protective elements of the panels such as fire panels for worrisome locations.

3. Find the metal options right for your project, such as fiberglass roofing panels or steel roofing panels.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Customize building panels as needed


Choose companies that offer in-house tooling design and type of the construction panels you need. This gives you the ability to have odd shapes and meet requirements without an additional cost or time factor.

I recommend: Look for custom roll forming for the metals you need, which allow for customization. Companies like Johnson Brothers allow for accurate estimation, even with customized needs. Some companies like the Continental Steel & Tube Company allow you to submit drawings and prints so customized pieces may be fabricated to fit your needs.

Find out what panel products and materials a company offers


Seek out companies offering the types of material you need or wish to have. Also, look for companies that offer fine quality finished structural panels by using high-quality materials.

I recommend: Choose companies that specialize in one or just a few fabrications for specific attention to detail and expertise. Companies like Gupta Permold Corporation offer specialization in aluminum castings and fabrications. Other companies offer a range of choices. A-1 Alloys, Div. of ABC Metals Inc. offers a wide range of metals, including brass, copper, hi-temp and exotic alloys, stainless, aluminum and more.

Buy roofing panes and siding panels, including corrugated roofing panels, from a reputable dealer


Purchase corrugated roofing panels from trusted manufacturers. When specialized fabrication is needed, companies dedicated to this form often offer the best product and the lowest price.

I recommend: View metal roofing panels from corrugated specialists such as Corrugated Metals Inc. Some companies offer a range of options in that specialization. Emco Industrial Plastics offers a variety of corrugated products including those in natural colors, as well as offering a variety of materials such as corrugated fiberglass or polycarbonate for roofing panel needs.
