Aluminum zinc coated coil for exterior roofing and wall panels that stay outdoors in snow ice and rain
GL and PPGL steel coil is the aluminum zinc coated branch of the steel coil range and holds Galvalume Steel Coil and Pre-Painted Galvalume Steel Coil. One of the most widely used applications for Galvalume coil is exterior metal paneling and roofing, because it has higher corrosion resistance than standard galvanized steel coil in outdoor environments and resists corrosion better when exposed to snow ice and rain. The bare GL product is taken by formers who apply their own finish or leave the coating exposed, while PPGL arrives with the paint system already on the aluminum zinc layer for panels that go straight from the roll former to the roof. Steel grades cover G250 G350 G450 and G550 together with A36 SS400 S275jr and, with coating specified as G20 G30 G40 G60 G90 or Z150 Z275 and Z350.

SpecificationsA roof that sits under snow ice and rain wears the coating before the steel gives up. Galvalume carries higher corrosion resistance than standard galvanized coil in outdoor environments which is why it is the usual choice for exterior paneling.
Both look similar on a sample card and the price gap is small on a small order. Holding both coated families lets the decision be made on the exposure rather than on what the supplier happens to stock.
Coating a finished profile means handling every panel twice and touching up at every bend. Pre painted Galvalume puts the paint on before the metal is shaped.
Exterior roofing runs thin to keep weight down and a soft grade dents in handling. G450 and G550 give the profile the strength to be walked on and fixed without denting.
A roofing specification may name G90 while the panel drawing names Z275. Both systems are quoted here so the order is placed once and understood by both sides.
Galvalume resists corrosion better than standard galvanized coil when exposed to snow ice and rain which is what the exterior roofing duty asks for.
Galvalume Steel Coil and Pre-Painted Galvalume Steel Coil share the substrate so a former can run exposed and colour finished panels off the same order.
G250 G350 G450 and G550 are available so thin high rib roofing profiles keep their shape under foot traffic and wind load.
Coating is stated as G20 G30 G40 G60 or G90 and as Z150 Z275 or Z350 so an order written to either convention is quoted without conversion.
A36 SS400 S275jr and sit alongside the G grades so a panel going into a code governed building can name the standard its inspector uses.
Coil is packed and shipped for export so the aluminum zinc surface and the paint film reach Southeast Asia South America and Africa unmarked.
Corrugated trapezoidal and tile profile roofs on housing warehouses and light industrial buildings exposed to rain and snow.
Wall sheets and facade panels where the coating is the finish and there is no maintenance access after handover.
Barn and shed roofing in wet climates where the interior atmosphere also attacks the underside of the sheet.
Gutters downpipes ridge caps and flashings formed from the same coil so the whole roof carries one coating system.
Roof decks under mounted arrays and open canopies where the sheet stays wet longer than a sealed roof does.
Roof and wall skins on portable and modular buildings that are stored outdoors between jobs.

GL is bare Galvalume with the aluminum zinc coating only. PPGL is pre painted Galvalume where the paint system is applied over that coating at the mill so the panel needs no finishing after it is formed.
The listed materials are G250 G350 G450 G550 A36 SS400 S275jr and. Higher G grades are normally chosen for thin high rib roofing profiles.
Coating is quoted as G20 G30 G40 G60 or G90 and as Z150 Z275 or Z350. Heavier coating is specified where the roof is exposed to persistent wet conditions.
Yes. GL and PPGL sit in the steel coil range next to the GI and PPGI items so a roofing package can mix coated families in one shipment.
A mill test certificate is issued against the ordered grade and coating. Ask for the mill test certificate when you place the order so it travels with the coil.
Tell us state the profile you are running and the thickness first because roofing thickness and substrate grade decide each other and we will come back with price, availability and what the mill test certificate will show for gl/ppgl steel coil.
