EAGLE 1 26 Gauge Bronze Flashing Roll 22 in x 10 ft - Durable Roofing

Our review of the EAGLE 1 26 Gauge Bronze flashing roll finds it suited to homeowners, roofers and DIYers who need a durable, paint-finished flashing that is easy to cut and form on site. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 26 gauge steel core with a 40-year Valspar baked-on paint and removable protective film, which together deliver long-lasting outdoor performance and reduced risk of handling damage during installation.

Key Features

• 26 Gauge Steel: Provides a balance of rigidity and workability so the flashing holds shape yet can be bent without cracking.
• 40 Year Valspar Paint: The baked-on paint finish is formulated for roofing use to resist weathering and maintain color over years outdoors.
• Removable Protective Film: Keeps the painted face scratch-free during cutting, shipping and on-site handling until you are ready to expose the finish.
• 10 ft Lengths and Wide Width Range: Supplied as 10 ft rolls and available in widths cut from 2 in to 36 in for flexible use on various roofing and trim applications.
• Easy to Cut and Form: Can be trimmed with hand snips and folded by hand where needed, simplifying on-site adjustments and repairs.
• Custom Widths Available: In-house cutting means you can order a specific width to reduce on-site waste and seams.

Who It's For

The EAGLE 1 26 Gauge Bronze flashing roll is ideal for homeowners tackling roofing repairs, gutter trim, or decorative trim projects and for contractors who need a consistent, painted steel flashing that is quick to cut and install. Its painted finish and protective film make it attractive for exposed trim as well as structural flashing tasks.

It is less suitable for projects that require softer metals like copper for patina development or where highly corrosive coastal conditions demand stainless steel; for those scenarios consider a different material grade. Also, if you need pre-formed specialty profiles rather than flat roll stock, a fabricator of formed flashing would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable painted finish with a long-rated lifespan that helps maintain appearance on roofs and trim.
• Workable 26 gauge thickness that cuts with snips and bends without cracking the paint.
• Protective removable film reduces the chance of scratches during handling and installation.
• Available in many widths and cut-to-size, which reduces waste and speeds job setup.

Cons

• As painted steel, it is not stainless grade and may not suit highly corrosive environments where stainless or copper is preferred.
• Roll stock requires field forming and sealing; customers wanting pre-made flashing pieces will need additional fabrication.
