Prestigious by nature: PAC-CLAD for Metal Roofing, Siding Materials, and metal columns
Commercial roofing projects demand materials that withstand time, climate and structural stresses without sacrificing design flexibility. PAC-CLAD standing seam metal roof materials by Petersen deliver engineered reliability and an extensive selection of panel profiles backed by expert consulting from CK Materials LLC.
In this guide, discover PAC-CLAD panels and metal columns that stand as the benchmark for durability and weather resistance. Explore the broad panel lineup and finish options, learn the streamlined processes for quoting and technical support.

What Makes PAC-CLAD Standing Seam Metal Panels the Most Reliable Metal Roof Materials?
PAC-CLAD standing seam metal panels deliver reliability through precision manufacturing, high-performance materials and robust engineering that ensure exceptional long-term performance and structural integrity. By combining cold-rolled steel or marine-grade aluminum substrates with advanced Kynar PVDF coatings and concealed-fastener clip assemblies, PAC-CLAD roofs resist corrosion, thermal cycling and wind uplift. These panels undergo rigorous quality control and factory pre-assembly checks to maintain consistent profiles and interlock accuracy.
Building on this foundation of material science and fabrication excellence, PAC-CLAD panels support straightforward installation workflows and predictable performance over decades, setting the stage for durability and weather resistance discussion in the next section.
PAC-CLAD Column Covers
PAC-CLAD Petersen metal column structures represent a refined fusion of architectural prestige, engineering precision, and long-term performance, making them a preferred choice for landmark commercial, civic, and institutional projects. Fabricated from high-quality aluminum or steel, these systems are finished with PAC-CLAD’s industry-leading PVDF coatings.
“There’s nothing quite like the metal column covers designed by PAC-CLAD. Every single client has been happy with the installment.”
Available in custom shapes, diameters, tapers, and seamless cladding configurations that allow architects to express modern minimalism, bold geometry, or timeless elegance without visual compromise. Their unique ability to integrate structural integrity with architectural continuity sets them apart: columns can be coordinated flawlessly with adjacent PAC-CLAD wall panels, soffits, and roofing systems for a unified building envelope aesthetic. Prestigious by nature, these systems elevate entrances, canopies, and public-facing spaces while reducing maintenance demands over decades of service, reinforcing Petersen’s reputation as a trusted partner in high-profile construction.
What Warranty Coverage Supports PAC-CLAD’s Reliability Claims?
PAC-CLAD’s robust warranty program underscores confidence in product longevity and finish retention. PAC-CLAD panels carry a 30-year non-prorated PVDF finish warranty covering color fade, chalk and corrosion under normal environmental conditions. A separate weathertightness warranty extends up to 20 years for seam integrity and leak resistance. Combined with Petersen’s industry-leading quality standards, these warranties provide project owners and architects with clear protection.
By safeguarding panel appearance and performance, PAC-CLAD’s warranty framework underwrites the reliability that construction professionals depend on, paving the way for understanding the concealed fastener system that further enhances roof integrity.
How Do PAC-150, Tite-Loc, and PAC T-250 Panels Differ in Application and Design?
Redefining structural versatility, these three PAC-CLAD profiles meet unique project demands through seam type, panel width and seaming options.
| Panel Profile | Seam Type | Gauge Range | Ideal Pitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| PAC-150 | 180° Double Seam | 22–24 ga. steel, .032–.040 aluminum | 1:12 and above |
| Tite-Loc | 90° Single Mechanical | 22–24 ga. steel, .032–.040 aluminum | 1/2:12 and above |
| PAC T-250 | Transverse Snap Seam | 24–26 ga. steel, .032 aluminum | 1/4:12 and above |
What Is the Minimum Roof Pitch for Installing PAC-CLAD Standing Seam Panels?
Most PAC-CLAD profiles require a minimum roof pitch of 1/4:12, with Tite-Loc panels performing well down to 1/2:12 and PAC-150 suited for 1:12 and above, ensuring proper water drainage and seam engagement.
