26 Gauge Bright Red Roofing Flashing Roll 12 in x 10 ft - Durable

In this review the 26 Gauge Bright Red flashing roll is judged as a straightforward, durable choice for roofers and DIYers who need painted steel flashing that holds up outdoors. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of 26 gauge steel with a 40 year Valspar baked-on paint finish and a protective removable film, which together make it easy to handle, cut and install without worrying about paint damage during transit or bending on site.

Key Features

• 26 Gauge Steel: Provides a balance of stiffness and flexibility so the flashing can be bent and folded without cracking the paint.
• 40 Year Valspar Paint: The baked-on paint is formulated for outdoor use and should retain color and corrosion resistance for years on exposed roofing applications.
• Removable Protective Film: Prevents scratches and handling damage during shipping and installation and peels away cleanly when ready to install.
• Easy to Cut: Standard sheet metal snips are sufficient for on-site adjustments, making it practical for contractors and homeowners.
• Custom Widths Available: Rolls are supplied up to 36 in wide and can be cut to specific widths if a bespoke size is needed.

Who It's For

This flashing roll is best for roofing contractors, remodelers, and competent DIYers who need a painted steel flashing that can be shaped by hand and trimmed on site. The 10 ft length and choice of widths make it useful for continuous runs, drip edges, counterflashing and other trim work.

Those working on specialty metal projects that require thicker gauge metal or a different finish should consider alternative materials; likewise, buyers wanting pre-formed flashings rather than roll stock will need a different product.

Pros & Cons
