Liberty Building Systems Introduces New Product Line

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 15, 2008 — The latest development in Liberty Building Systems’ national expansion is the introduction of its new product line and color offerings. The new wall and roof products are slightly different but still maintain the same high quality that Liberty’s customers have come to expect since the company’s inception eight years ago.

ValleyRib II™, a 26-gauge wall panel with an attractive, sculptured appearance, will replace Liberty’s former A-panel. The architectural panel is especially useful as an exterior wall system, roof parapet or exterior façade for commercial, industrial or retail applications. It is available in four standard colors and 14 premium colors.

The company will market its interior wall panel as FreedomRib II™. The lightweight 28-gauge panel, which is offered in a white, silicon polyester finish, can be used as an interior liner panel.

Another offering in Liberty’s revised product line is the LibertyLoc™ standing seam roof. LibertyLoc is a 24-gauge, weathertight roofing solution that carries a UL90 wind uplift rating. It is available in Galvalume as a standard finish and in six colors with a Kynar finish.

The final change in Liberty’s product line is the switch to LibertyRib II™ as the standard R-Panel. LibertyRib II is a 26-gauge wall and roof panel that can be used for agricultural, commercial, industrial and self-storage applications. Customers will the option of four colors in a FreedomCote™ finish or 14 colors in a premium Kynar finish.

Additional new products to this expanded product line will be introduced in the near future.
