Overview
5-V is an exposed-fastener metal roof panel from McElroy Metal with a traditional double V rib profile, also called the 5-V crimp. Listed applications are residential and light commercial roofing, agricultural and utility buildings, and coastal settings, in new construction and retrofit work on moderate-slope roofs.
It is primarily a roofing panel. It can also be used as an interior liner or an accent panel, and standard wall trim details are not offered for it.
