Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation

Metal Sales roof and wall panels are for homeowners and builders covering houses, farm buildings and light-commercial projects. Classic Rib and Pro-Panel II also serve as liners, ceilings and soffits, giving you profiles to consider for several surfaces on the same building.

Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation is a manufacturer headquartered in Sellersburg, Indiana. The company started in 1963. Its light-gauge panel range serves residential, agricultural and light-commercial construction.

Match the profile to the building

Classic Rib and Pro-Panel II are practical starting points for a shop with an exterior shell and an interior liner. Both are listed for roofs, walls, liners, ceilings and soffits, with 26- and 29-gauge options. Choose the profile for each surface before settling on a color.

For a traditional V-rib roof appearance, 5V-Crimp is the profile to compare. It provides 24-inch roof coverage, while Pro-Panel II provides 36-inch panel coverage. Coverage is the dimension that drives your panel count. Lay out each roof plane or wall using the selected profile’s coverage and panel run lengths, including cuts around openings and intersections.

Gauge belongs in the decision alongside the profile, supports and attachment details. Metal Sales provides application information, design specifications and shop drawings to help work through that assembly. Match the attachment details to your supports and panel layout before installation begins.

Choose the finish with edge coverage in mind

MS Colorfast45 is an SMP finish using inorganic and ceramic pigments, listed for 26- and 29-gauge material. ColorFit40 is a multilayer coating listed for 29-gauge material. Versa20 is listed for 29-gauge material in select colors for roof, wall or liner projects.

For edge coverage, MS Colorfast45 is the choice among these three finishes: it has a stated 10-year edge warranty for 26- and 29-gauge material, while ColorFit40 and Versa20 exclude edge coverage. Metal Sales’ stated weathertightness warranty is limited to eligible nonresidential projects.

Metal Sales requires material inspection before use. Check the profile, finish and condition while the panels are accessible, before fastening them to the building.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Metal Sales panels used for?

Metal Sales makes metal roofing, wall panels and building systems, with light-gauge panels for residential, agricultural and light-commercial work. You can use some profiles for liners, ceilings and soffits too, so the profile needs to match the surface you’re covering.

How do you figure out how many metal panels you need?

You figure panel count from coverage width, not the full width of the sheet. Lay out each roof plane or wall with the selected profile’s coverage and panel run lengths, then account for cuts at openings and intersections.

Does panel gauge matter when choosing metal roofing?

Gauge matters alongside the profile, supports and attachment details. You need to work through those pieces as an assembly; Metal Sales provides application information, design specifications and shop drawings to help with that layout.

What should you check before installing Metal Sales panels?

Metal Sales requires you to inspect received material before use. Check that the profile and finish match the job, and look over the panels’ condition while they’re still accessible, before you start fastening them to the building.
