Exposed Fastener Metal Panels

7.2 Panel

Symmetry for Contemporary Design

The 7.2 Panel is a great exposed fastener choice for commercial applications. A strong industrial aesthetic and its sturdy symmetrical repeating pattern means it provides the classic deep-rib look that architects love. It gets its name from having 7.2” of spacing between ribs and each rib measuring 1.5” high.

The Central States 7.2 panel offers spanning and cantilever capabilities making it an excellent choice for canopies and carports. It is ideal for roofing applications but also can be installed on siding either horizontally or vertically. Plus, easy installation allows for a fast turnaround for your project.
