EAGLE 1 26 Gauge Burgundy Flashing Roll 6 in x 10 ft - Durable Paint

Our review of the EAGLE 1 26 gauge Burgundy flashing roll finds it well suited to both DIYers and contractors who need a flexible, painted flashing for roofing and general repair. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of durable 40 year Valspar baked-on paint and a removable protective film that preserves the finish during handling, making it an attractive, long-lasting option for visible trim and flashing work.

Key Features

• 26 Gauge Steel: Provides a balance of stiffness and formability that holds shapes well while remaining thin enough for hand snips.
• 40 Year Valspar Paint: Baked-on paint is formulated for outdoor use and helps the flashing resist weathering and retain color on roofs or trim.
• Removable Film: Protective film on the painted side prevents scratches during cutting and installation so the finish arrives intact.
• Flexible and Foldable: The steel bends and folds without cracking the paint, enabling clean gutters, drip edges, and custom flashing details.
• 10 ft Lengths: Each roll is 10 ft long, which reduces seams on long runs and makes on-site fitting easier.
• Wide Size Range: Available in widths cut from 2 in to 36 in, allowing selection for small trim work or wider roofing details.

Who It's For

The EAGLE 1 Burgundy flashing roll is ideal for homeowners doing roofing touch-ups, gutter repairs, or decorative trim where a painted finish matters, as well as contractors who need consistent, cut-to-size flashing for site work. Its paint and removable film make it particularly useful when appearance and durability are both priorities.

Those who need very heavy gauge metal for structural flashing or who require a specific alloy like 304 stainless for corrosion resistance should consider alternative materials; this product is focused on painted 26 gauge steel performance rather than specialty metals.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable painted finish that resists outdoor wear for years and keeps a neat appearance.
• Flexible 26 gauge steel that can be bent and folded without cracking the paint.
• Removable protective film preserves the painted surface during handling and installation.
• Long 10 ft rolls and many width options reduce seams and allow accurate on-site cuts.

Cons
