Ribbed Roofing Panels: The Look of Metal, the Protection of FiberTite
Metal roofing looks great and can yield many years of protection. However, its reputation to remain leak-free is less than brilliant — particularly for complex roofing designs such as changes in roof direction, valleys, wall seams and conduit or vent penetrations. A FiberTite Simulated Metal Roofing system — also referred to as ribbed metal roofing, contour rib roofing or decorated rib roofing — provides the look of metal and has a proven, long-term track record and thermoplastic welded seams for superior and durable leak protection.
More than 99% of FiberTite roofs are still protecting because we use:
- Four layers for long-term proven protection.
- Twice the fiber content for superior puncture resistance versus even Modified Bitumen.
- A unique adhesive coat that prevents wicking and enables a molecular bond with the face and back coat to prevent delamination.
- Proprietary face and back coats engineered with DuPont™ Elvaloy® KEE-based formula for superior weatherability, chemical resistance and long-term flexibility.
- A proprietary compound including a coextruded thermally activated KEE (Elvaloy) adhesive strip on the bottom for better adhesion than welding.
