EAGLE 1 26 Gauge Charcoal Grey Flashing Roll 24 in x 10 ft - Durable

In this review we look at the EAGLE 1 26 gauge charcoal grey flashing roll and why it is a solid pick for roofers and DIYers alike. The bottom line: this flashing is aimed at anyone who needs a flexible, painted steel flashing that is easy to cut and bend on site, and the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a 40 year Valspar baked-on paint finish and a removable protective film that preserves the finish during handling. The product performs well for general flashing, drip edges, small roof repairs, and custom trim where a durable painted surface matters.

Key Features

• 26 gauge steel: Provides a balance of rigidity and formability so it holds shape on roof edges while still being easy to bend for custom fits.
• 40 year Valspar paint: The baked-on paint finish delivers long-term color retention and outdoor durability suited for roofing applications.
• Removable protective film: Keeps the painted side scratch-free during handling and installation, preserving the finished appearance.
• 10 ft length: Long 120 in rolls reduce seams and make it easier to cover runs without frequent joins.
• Custom widths available: Standard cuts from 2 in to 36 in and custom width cutting means the roll can be tailored to specific job needs.
• Easy on-site workability: Cuts cleanly with hand snips and can be bent or folded without cracking paint, speeding field adjustments.

Who It's For

This flashing roll is well suited to roofing contractors, remodelers, and competent DIY homeowners who need a painted steel flashing that installs cleanly and remains attractive. The product's painted finish and long 10 ft length make it useful for gutter repair, fascia trim, dormer work, and general flashing where appearance and corrosion resistance matter.

It is less appropriate for projects requiring thicker structural metal or where stainless or copper is specifically mandated for corrosion resistance or aesthetic reasons; check other material options if you need 304 grade stainless steel or copper finishes mentioned elsewhere.
