Why contractors continue to choose the Strata Rib®

ASC Building Materials' metal panels pull ahead of the pack. 

Walk into almost any roofing supply distributor, and you'll find no shortage of exposed fastener metal panels. While many profiles may look similar at first glance, experienced contractors know the differences become clear once installation begins, and years after the project is complete. 

For over five decades, ASC Building Products has manufactured premium metal roofing and siding solutions built for long-lasting performance, value and peace of mind. A prime example is their versatile Strata Rib® panel. Available in 29 or 26 gauge with 36" coverage, Strata Rib works equally well for residential, light-commercial and agricultural projects. 

Strata Rib's reinforced ¾" high major ribs give it real structural muscle, while its exposed fastener design keeps installation fast and straightforward. It installs horizontally or vertically, comes in custom lengths from 4'-6" to 45'-0" and requires a minimum slope of 3:12 for roofing applications. Other benefits of this panel include: 

• Durability: Reinforced major ribs give Strata Rib panels added strength for demanding roofing and siding applications. 
• Fire-resistance: Roof assemblies are Class A Fire Rated per UL790, and siding is rated for fire resistance per UL263. 
• Impact-resistance: Per third-party testing, Strata Rib panels carry a Class 4 Impact (Hail) Resistance rating (UL 2218). 
• Snow retention ready: Strata Rib is now compatible with S-5!® Snow Retention Systems for cold-climate installations. 

More than a panel 

One of the advantages of choosing Strata Rib is access to a complete roofing and siding system. 

Matching trim packages, coordinated accessories and a broad selection of colors help contractors deliver a finished project with clean, consistent details instead of piecing together components from multiple sources. 

With various color options, including premium cool Dura Tech® xl finishes, Strata Rib gives homeowners and building owners the design flexibility they're looking for while delivering exceptional durability and color retention.  

Confidence that lasts

Contractors know that the lowest-priced panel isn't always the best value. 

Choosing a panel backed by decades of manufacturing experience, third-party tested performance and a limited lifetime residential warranty gives contractors another level of confidence when recommending products to customers. 

That's why many don't simply ask for an exposed fastener panel, they ask their distributor for ASC Building Products’ Strata Rib. 

Because when your reputation is on every project, choosing a panel with proven performance makes all the difference.
