Available in 22ga in standard finishes. 20ga available by special order.
Refer to AEP Span Color Charts for full range of color options, prints, textures, finishes and paint systems.
Custom colors, thick film primer and/or clear coat paint finishes available. Subject to 3,000 square feet minimum order.
Custom manufactured sheet lengths from 5'-0" to 40'-0" maximum.
ASTM E1592 (wind uplift), ASTM E283 (air infiltration), ASTM E331 (water infiltration) tested.
Available in two attachment configurations - a directly attached fastening flange or clip
interlocking hem. Two clip options enable panels to be installed flush to substrate or with a ½" standoff. Panels can be used in a rainscreen system.
Panel evaluated by accredited third party. All structural performance data is contained within an IBC/IRC 2018 code compliance report (#ER-0309).

Patented panel design.

Inward Loads	
Single Span	w, distributed load

L, span	NOTES:
Tabulated values are for positive (inward) loading only.
The W/Ω (ASD) values are based on allowable panel strength. L/180 values based on allowable service load deflections.
The moments of inertia, I+ and I-, presented for determining deflection are: (2IEffective + IGross)/3
Values are based on AISI S100-16/S1-18 Specifications subject to change without notice.

Oil Canning : All flat metal surfaces can display waviness commonly referred to as “oil canning”. “Oil canning” is an inherent characteristic of steel products, not a defect, and therefore is not a cause for panel rejection.
