G-rib Metal Roofing Panels for Sale
Kauffman’s G-rib (also known as ag panel) is a reliable and cost-effective solution for metal roofing (and also works for siding). With ¾‑inch ribs to channel water effectively and add structural rigidity, G‑rib offers dependable protection to roof decks. It’s a good choice for projects such as agricultural buildings and certain residential and commercial needs. Resistance to dents, plus minimal expansion and contraction properties, make this panel an excellent investment, providing lasting protection and durability. For your assurance, these panels carry our lifetime transferable warranty.
A practical solution to your metal roofing needs
The G-rib design has a long track record as a durable roofing solution, and the panels are used on everything from shed and pole building roofs to commercial buildings and even homes. They are relatively easy to install, even for non-professionals. As exposed-fastener panels, they are attached with screws inserted through the face of the panel. (Water and moisture are kept out with rubber washers.) Depending on the type of roof involved, they can be installed over purlins or sheathing.
Proven Quality G-Rib Panels Built to Last
G-rib panels from Kauffman are formed from premium, domestically sourced Grade 80, 29g coil steel that has been coated with Galvalume, a patented aluminum-zinc alloy. After this, panels are exposed to a special phosphate solution (bonderized) to resist corrosion, and then an OPTIMA Primer is applied. The primer gives flexibility and provides an excellent base for the final coat of CERAM-A-STAR, a ceramic pigmented silicone polyester which supplies strength, hardness, and durability against the effects of sun, wind, rain, heat, and cold. It is also extremely resistant to mildew. No blistering, peeling, or flaking!

Benefits of G-rib Metal Roofing Panels for Sale
Greater Durability
- With our lifetime transferrable warranty, building with our metal means long term savings.
Lightweight
- Metal is light in relation to its surface area. This means that buildings require fewer materials—roof trusses can be spaced further apart and purlins can be used instead of sheathing. For re-roofing, metal can often be put on top of the existing roof, saving removal costs.
Resistant to fire and wind
- Metal roofing resists fire extremely well and is designed to hold up in strong winds.
Energy efficiency
- Metal roofing reflects heat, reducing cooling costs in the summer.
Easy installation
- Metal’s large panels allow relatively quick installs by accomplished contractors or handy homeowners.
Many styles and colors
- Metal comes in a wide variety of styles, patterns, and colors, making it easy to match with your home or building’s design.
G-rib Metal Roofing Panels for Sale FAQs
How long does a metal roof or metal siding typically last?
Metal roofs and siding can last from 40-70 years, depending on the quality of materials and installation. They are known for their durability, resistance to environmental factors, and low-maintenance requirements compared to asphalt shingles.
How is standing seam different from other metal panels?
Standing seam is different from panels like G-rib and R-rib because its panels have concealed fasteners, providing a sleek, modern appearance and improved weather resistance. The other kinds of panels have exposed fasteners and more traditional, wavy patterns. Standing seam costs more to install, but those costs result in higher performance and greater aesthetics.
Can metal roofing and siding be installed over existing shingles or siding?
It is possible to install metal panels over existing roofing and siding. However, you must consider factors like the current materials’ condition, proper ventilation, and local building codes. It’s a good idea to check with a contractor to evaluate the situation before proceeding.
Are metal roofs and siding more energy-efficient than other materials?
Metal roofs and siding can be more energy-efficient than other materials because they are highly reflective. This reduces solar heat gain, leading to lower energy bills.
Can I install a metal roof or siding on my own, or should I hire a professional?
While some homeowners have the skills to install metal roofing and siding, it is usually better to hire a professional contractor since installation requires proper measuring, cutting, and fastening to ensure durability, weather resistance, and a quality appearance.
