The ZIP-RIB structural metal roof panel system is designed for roofing on slopes 1/4” per foot or greater and can also be used as a vertical wall panel. Its mechanically seamed ribs are 2-1/2” high and panels are available in widths of 12”, 16” or 18” (nominal coverage). Wider widths up to 22” are subject to inquiry. Specialty manufacturing options such as conical tapers, convex and concave curves and continuous lengths exceeding 460 feet are available with this time tested system. ZIP-RIB can be applied over open purlins, re-roof framing, plywood or metal deck.
