R-Loc is Central States’ 26-gauge commercial metal panel (the familiar PBR profile) — built for strength with a tall 1-1/4″ rib, 36″ coverage and an exposed-fastener install. It works on walls and roofs for shops, barns and commercial buildings, over a corrosion-resistant Galvalume base, and carries a lifetime paint-adhesion warranty.

Why R-Loc Metal Panel

Built to perform — here's what sets it apart.

Commercial-grade strength

R-Loc (the familiar PBR profile) has a tall 1-1/4″ rib and a purlin-bearing leg for strength, easier installation and maximum purlin spacing — ideal for low-pitch commercial roofs and walls.

Roof or wall, big or small

A versatile 36″-coverage panel for roofing, siding and commercial buildings — shops, barns, storage and more.

Corrosion-resistant & low-maintenance

A Galvalume® AZ50 base under a baked-on paint system stands up to weather with minimal upkeep.

Backed by a lifetime warranty

Prime panels carry CentralGuard® protection — lifetime paint adhesion, 30-year chalk & fade, and 50-year Galvalume® perforation coverage.
