Panel-Loc Plus

Panel-Loc Plus panel profile

Rugged steel siding & roofing — from a solid 40-year Standard panel up to lifetime-warranty CentralGuard® Prime & Ultra. Choose your level of fade, rust and dent protection.

26 & 29 gauge 36" coverage Galvalume AZ50 substrate

Panel-Loc Plus is our most popular and versatile panel! It gives residential, agricultural, and light commercial projects the protection of steel with an attractive appearance. There is an extra striation on top of the rib to give it superior durability and protection against extreme weather. Panel-Loc Plus’s versatility means it can be used on a roof or walls as siding and is available in three qualities: Standard, Prime, and Ultra.

  • Available in 29 and 26 gauge.
  • Panel-Loc plus comes in panels with 36″ coverage with a distance of 9” in between its ¾” ribs.
  • All panels are SMP paint and come in a variety of colors. Standard panels feature a 40-year paint warranty.
  • Engineered with a Siphon Groove to minimize leaks.
  • Wide fastening surface for easy application.
  • Unique lap groove hides the overlap, giving a smooth, clean appearance.
  • Bare (non-painted) Galvalume® and galvanized panels from Central States have an acrylic coating which eliminates using oils during manufacturing and eliminates fingerprinting and foot marking during installation.
  • The minimum roof slope for the 3/4″ Panel-Loc Plus™ is 2-1/2:12. If slopes less than 3:12 are needed, International Building Code (IBC) allows a sealant tape to be used on the laps of the panel.
  • Optional DripX condensation control for heightened protection.

Why Panel-Loc Plus

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

Fade-resistant CentralGuard® finish

Advanced inorganic pigments, a cross-linked resin and UV blockers fight fading and chalking. Prime & Ultra add a thicker 1.0-mil coat (vs .90 mil on Standard) and a lifetime paint warranty.

Galvalume® rust protection

Prime & Ultra ride on an AZ50 Galvalume® base (zinc + aluminum) for up to 4× the long-term edge-rust protection of standard coatings — backed by a 50-year rust-through warranty.

Dent-resistant steel

Every Panel-Loc Plus is Class 4 impact-rated — the top UL 2218 rating. Step up from Standard’s thin 29-gauge to Prime (thick 29-ga, ~25% more dent resistance) or Ultra (26-ga, ~215% more).

Step up to Prime — lifetime warranty

Standard is a solid 40-year panel, but Prime adds the CentralGuard® finish, a Galvalume® base and a LIFETIME paint warranty for not much more — our most popular choice. Ask us about Prime or Ultra.

Color options

Colors come in up to three finishes (Standard, Prime, Ultra). Textured colors are a CentralGuard® premium upgrade — a matte, shingle-like finish that’s more scratch- and glare-resistant. Representative swatches; view the chart for an exact match.

Frequently asked questions

Same panel profile, three levels of metal. Standard is a 40-year, .90-mil painted panel on an AZ35 base (thin 29-ga). Prime upgrades to CentralGuard® 1.0-mil paint with a lifetime warranty, a Galvalume® AZ50 rust coating (50-year rust-through) and a thicker 29-ga for ~25% more dent resistance. Ultra steps up to 26-ga for ~215% more dent resistance.
For not much more than Standard, Prime gets you a lifetime paint warranty (vs 40 years), the chalk- and fade-resistant CentralGuard® finish, and a Galvalume® base with up to 4× the long-term rust protection. It’s our most popular choice and the best value for a building you want to last.
It’s Central States’ premium paint-and-coating system on Prime and Ultra: advanced inorganic pigments, a cross-linked resin and UV blockers that resist fading and chalking, layered over a Galvalume® corrosion-blocking base for maximum life — backed by a lifetime warranty.
Fade is measured in Hunter Units (lower is better). A CentralGuard® finish shifts only a few Hunter units over 30 years — far less than substandard metal — thanks to its UV blockers and chalk-resistant resin.
Yes — every Panel-Loc Plus carries a Class 4 rating, the highest on the UL 2218 impact test. Dent resistance climbs with the metal: Standard (thin 29-ga), Prime (thick 29-ga, ~25% more) and Ultra (26-ga, ~215% more).

PAC lumber is the place to go for just about anything you need. Had them build my garage and it turned out awesome! Easy to design right in the store. Very professional crew hardly any waste left at the end of the job. Anytime I called I was treated great and all my questions were answered. Thanks to Christopher and all the PAC lumber employees for all the help.

PAC Lumber is fantastic. Always helpful to me - a complete novice when it comes to building projects. Several times they have stayed open a few extra minutes for me - and always with a smile on their face. Highly recommend PAC.

I can’t say enough good things about them. I wanted a hobby shop on a piece of property I bought. I called PAC and the rest was easy. They had great advice and very fair pricing. I live out of state and put my complete trust in the crew. They not only met my expectations but surpassed them. I can’t say enough good things about them. Would highly recommend them.

These guys are rockstars. Cheaper and better than Home Depot or Lowe’s with faster delivery and friendly service. They also built me a very nice detached garage.

We have a huge build going on for a year and we set up an account for our builder to use at PAC. PAC has been very fair with their prices and competitive with with the large box stores. It is nice that for every purchase we get a statement emailed to us. We appreciate all that you have provided to make our build a success. We will continue to call upon you in the future for all our building needs.
