Commercial Roofing / Roof Types

Commercial Metal Roofing

PBR metal panels deliver a durable, efficient roofing and wall system for commercial properties that need dependable performance across large surface areas.

Built for Demanding Buildings

Strength in every rib and overlap.

PBR stands for Purlin Bearing Rib. Its deeper rib profile and extended bearing leg create a secure panel overlap designed for structural stability and reliable weather protection.

For property owners, that means one versatile system that can serve low-slope or steep-slope roofs as well as exterior wall applications. Highmark evaluates the building, exposure, drainage, transitions, and insulation requirements before recommending a complete assembly.

A Purposeful Profile

Designed to cover more with confidence.

The panel geometry combines broad coverage with raised structural ribs. Correct sidelaps, fastener placement, closures, trim, and transitions all work together to manage weather at the building envelope.

Deeper Rib Profile

Raised ribs add rigidity across long commercial roof and wall runs.

Purlin-Bearing Overlap

The extended leg supports a more consistent panel lap and attachment condition.

Efficient Coverage

A 36-inch coverage width helps crews move efficiently while limiting unnecessary material waste.

Finish Flexibility

Painted and galvalume options support different appearance, exposure, and maintenance priorities.

Where PBR Fits

One system. Multiple commercial uses.

PBR panels are commonly selected where structural economy, broad coverage, and straightforward long-term maintenance matter. Highmark helps confirm whether the profile fits the building’s slope, substrate, use, and performance goals.

Performance Is an Assembly

The panel is only part of the roof.

Commercial metal performs best when the complete system is planned around the structure. Highmark pays close attention to attachment, laps, penetrations, perimeter details, drainage, ventilation, insulation, and compatible accessories.
