When specifying metal roofing or siding, architects often look to concealed fastener panels for their clean lines but there are many benefits that make exposed fastener panels a great option for your next project!

AEP Span offers 8 different exposed fastener metal panels for you to choose from. All are available in a variety of Kynar and non-Kynar paints, prints, textures and finishes.
