Roof Panels
These roof panels are impact, heat, weather, UV, and corrosion resistant. Corrugated for added strength and rigidity, they’re more durable than flat panels and require less maintenance. Use them to roof and side commercial, agricultural, and residential buildings. All panels have been tested by ASTM for flame resistance. Cut these down to size using a circular saw.
Polycarbonate panels are lightweight and easier to install than steel panels, but they’re not as energy efficient. They come in clear and semi-clear styles, so they’re good when you need to let some light in. Clear polycarbonate panels make for durable windows and skylights. Semi-clear polycarbonate panels block 55% of light, which helps maintain temperature and still let some light through. Use connectors (sold separately) to join panels together side by side. You’ll need one connector for every foot of panel.
Steel panels are our most impact resistant and durable roof panels. Completely opaque, they reflect light to insulate and save energy. They overlap with adjacent panels, so you don’t need connectors to join them side by side with other steel panels.
Add finishing strips (sold separately) to keep dirt and dust out of the top and bottom ends of panels.

Plastic Wall Panels
Virtually unbreakable, these panels are impact, heat, chemical, weather, and UV resistant. To cut panels to size, use a circular saw with a fine-tooth blade. Panels can also be used in roofing applications. When used as roof panels, they require a minimum 5° slope.
Connectors join two panels side by side. Finishing strips keep the top and bottom ends clear of dirt and dust.

Aluminum-Covered Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Face Color: Black
- Temperature Range: 0° to 170° F
- Tensile Strength: 8,740 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM E84 5/15 for Flame and Smoke, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.1380, UL 94 V-0
A layer of soft LDPE is sandwiched between two thin layers of aluminum for strength and rigidity. Use these sheets outdoors as signs, wall panels, canopies, and building cladding. One side is painted black; the painted side is normally exposed.
Fiberglass Building Insulation Sheets and Strips
Also known as batts, these fiberglass sheets and strips are used to insulate walls, ceilings, and floors.
Sheets/strips with moisture barrier prevent condensation from forming. Use electrical tape to secure the ends.
Sheets/strips with kraft paper facing can be layered to increase thermal efficiency. Seal with reinforced insulation tape (sold separately).
Fire-Stop Sheets
Cut these sheets to any size and shape you need to seal large openings in fire-resistant walls and floors. They’re often used to fill the space around pipes, conduit, and ducts. These sheets are tested to ASTM and UL standards for stopping the spread of smoke and flames. Made of steel, they have a firestop coating that expands when it’s heated. If the equipment passing through these panels melts or shrinks during a fire, this coating will fill the gaps.
Use shears to cut these panels to size, then fasten to your surface with No. 10 self-drilling sheet metal screws (not included). Fill any gaps around the sheet with fire-stop caulk (sold separately) for a tight seal. Once they’re installed, you can paint over them without losing fire protection.
