Premier Rib Metal Roofing: Built to Last Generations
Premier Rib is a through-fastened exposed-fastener metal roofing panel featuring a classic ribbed profile that has been trusted by homeowners, farmers, and builders for decades. Its clean, symmetrical lines and structural integrity make it one of the most versatile and cost-effective metal roofing solutions available on the market today.
Each panel is roll-formed with precision to deliver consistent coverage and easy installation. Premier Rib panels typically offer 36 inches of coverage width, with a rib height of 3/4 inch that adds rigidity and channels water efficiently off the roof surface. Available in both 26-gauge and 29-gauge steel, panels can be cut to virtually any custom length, eliminating waste and ensuring a perfect fit for any project.

Frequently Asked Questions
A properly installed Premier Rib metal roof can last 40 to 60 years or more with minimal maintenance. The steel substrate, combined with our WeatherXL coating system, is engineered to resist corrosion, UV degradation, and physical wear for decades, far outlasting the 15- to 30-year average lifespan of asphalt shingles.
This is one of the most common misconceptions about metal roofing. When installed with proper decking, insulation, and underlayment, as is standard in residential applications, Premier Rib panels are no noisier than any other roofing material. In fact, many homeowners report that the sound of rain on a well-insulated metal roof is barely noticeable indoors.
In many cases, yes. Premier Rib panels can be installed over existing asphalt shingles with furring strips or an appropriate underlayment system, significantly reducing tear-off costs and labor time. However, local building codes vary, and a professional assessment of the existing roof structure and load-bearing capacity is always recommended before proceeding with an over-roof installation.
Installed costs for Premier Rib metal roofing typically range from $150 to $350 per square (100 square feet), depending on your region, roof complexity, panel gauge, and color selection. While the upfront cost is higher than asphalt shingles, the dramatically longer lifespan, lower maintenance costs, and energy savings mean most homeowners achieve full cost recovery within 10 to 15 years.
Yes, in most cases. Because Premier Rib panels carry a Class A fire rating and are highly resistant to wind, hail, and impact, many homeowners insurance carriers offer premium discounts for metal-roofed properties, sometimes ranging from 10% to 30% annually.
