EAGLE 1 Burgundy 26 Gauge Flashing Roll 8 in x 10 ft - Durable Roof

Our review of the EAGLE 1 Burgundy 26 Gauge flashing roll finds it well suited for homeowners, DIYers and contractors who need a durable, painted steel flashing that is easy to cut and form on site. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 26 gauge substrate with a 40-year Valspar baked-on paint finish and removable protective film, which together deliver long-lasting appearance and practical handling during installation. This review focuses on real-world use: how it cuts, bends, and performs as roofing or general-purpose flashing material.

Key Features

• 26 Gauge Steel: Provides a balance of rigidity and malleability for flashing tasks without being overly heavy to handle on ladders.
• 40-Year Valspar Paint: The baked-on paint is formulated for outdoor exposure, helping the flashing retain color and resist weathering over many years.
• Removable Protective Film: The painted side ships with a film to prevent scratches during cutting, transport and handling, improving final appearance.
• Easy to Cut and Form: The material cuts cleanly with standard sheet metal snips and can be bent or folded without cracking the paint.
• Multiple Widths, 10 ft Length: Available in widths from 2 in to 36 in and supplied as 10 ft (120 in) long rolls, which reduces seams on many roof details.

Who It's For

The EAGLE 1 Burgundy flashing roll is ideal for roofing contractors repairing valleys, drip edges, and step flashing, and for homeowners tackling gutter repair, small roof penetrations or trim details. Its painted finish and removable film make it attractive for visible trim work as well as hidden flashing.

It is less appropriate for projects that require thicker gauge material, specialty metals like copper for historic restoration, or where stainless steel corrosion resistance is mandatory. For those needs, consider the other 26 gauge options such as stainless or mill finish aluminum referenced by the seller.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality painted finish provides long-term color retention and outdoor durability.
• Workability is excellent; bends and folds without cracking and cuts easily with hand snips.
• Protective film helps ensure the painted surface arrives scratch-free for visible installations.
• Long 10 ft rolls minimize joints and simplify runs along rooflines.

Cons

• As a 26 gauge steel, it is thinner than heavier flashing options and may not suit heavy structural flashing needs.
• Some buyers may prefer copper or stainless for specific corrosion or aesthetic requirements.
