Curved Panels

Curved Panels

Overview

Drexel Metals offers multiple metal panels designed to accommodate curved roofs, arched canopies and walkway covers. 

Our curved metal panels offer architects and designers the ability to add some really unique yet functional features to their projects! Additionally, the availability of radius trim for gables and endwalls eliminates the blight of segmentation with straight trim.

We've been supplying curved metal roof panels since 1995 and like to think of ourselves as the curved metal roofing experts!
