The Hardy Rib Premium Panel has a deep channel anti-siphon rib to prevent capillary action, along with five 3/4″ major ribs and eight minor ribs to decrease oil canning. This panel is similar in design to Premium Pro Rib®, Classic Rib®, Tuff Rib®, Ultra 2000, 5Rib, Master Rib, and many more. The Hardy Rib panel design is the most commonly used steel roofing panel design in the residential roofing market. This is because of its amazing benefits including low cost, low maintenance, superior longevity, high wind rating, and ease of installation, just to name a few.
The Hardy Rib Premium Panel can be installed over your existing asphalt shingle roof without compromising the longevity of your new metal roof. (Check with your local building codes for installing another layer of roofing over your existing roof.) If you decide to install your new metal roof over your existing asphalt shingles, we recommend using 1×3 purlins or 2×3/2×4 purlins. As an alternative, you can install synthetic felt or 1/4″ fan fold foam over your existing shingles. The most important thing when installing metal roofing over an existing roof is you must have a permanent vapor barrier between your existing shingles and your new lifetime metal roof. The reason for a permanent vapor barrier is simple. The granules from the asphalt shingles will scratch the backside of the panel causing premature failure and will void the warranty on the panel. (Do not use saturated felt paper as a vapor barrier. Saturated felt is not considered a permanent vapor barrier.)
All Hardy Rib Premium Panels come with an exclusive Iron Clad 40-year Paint & Lifetime Steel Warranty.
Our Hardy Rib panel is made from #1 premium steel and painted with Sherwin Williams Weather XL paint system. Learn more about the paint system we use at the bottom of this page.
