Metal Panel UL Certification & Testing

Discover how & why our products are UL certified and what that means for your project.

Testing & Safety Standards Matter

Your UL Certified Metal Panel Manufacturer.

Western States Metal Roofing—formerly known as Western States Decking Inc.—was founded in 1996 as a distributor of Verco metal decking products. Since then, we’ve evolved into a full-scale manufacturer, investing in our own roll-forming equipment to produce high-quality metal roofing and siding panels, coil, and flat sheets. Our commitment to rigorous testing, quality control, and safety standards has enabled us to meet the demands of complex projects and comply with state-specific building requirements across the country.

Who Is UL?

What Does “UL Certified” Mean?

  • Safety Tested
    UL Certified products undergo rigorous evaluations—including fire, structural, and environmental tests—designed to uncover potential hazards and ensure long-term durability.

  • Third-Party Verified
    UL is an independent, accredited organization—not affiliated with manufacturers. That means the certification is unbiased and credible.

  • Ongoing Compliance
    Products aren't just tested once. UL certification requires routine inspections to confirm that manufacturing continues to meet UL standards over time.

  • Recognized Worldwide
    UL is accepted across North America and beyond, making it easier for products to meet code requirements and gain market access globally.
