Max-Rib Panel

Max-Rib Panel

Max-Rib is a low profile (3/4-inch) panel that is equally well suited for residential roofing and post frame applications.

Varying applications, end uses, and expectations require different metal panel alternatives. Fortunately, McElroy’s popular Max-Rib profile is available in five distinct options: Max-Rib Ultra, Max-Rib II, Max-Rib 100, and Max-Rib Commodity/Liner. The best choice for your individual project depends on factors such as performance, desired longevity, and budget.

Thermoforming

Long-term customer satisfaction is our top priority at McElroy Metal. As a result, we're constantly looking for ways to do things better, even if it means making investments in new equipment.  Thermoforming (or warm forming) is just one example of our customer commitment.

Traditionally steel panels have been manufactured from steel at room temperature.  While that process worked for decades, new advances have proven that warming the steel prior to production can result in a better product with a longer life expectancy for Silicone Modified Polyester (SMP) paint systems.  

Thermoforming technology is just one more thing we're doing different than our competitors to earn your business.
