GL and PPGL Galvalume Steel Coil for Roofing and Panels

Aluminum zinc coated coil for exterior roofing and wall panels that stay outdoors in snow ice and rain

Products 2Part of Steel Coil/StripCertificate Mill test certificate

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.

What This Range Is For

Roof Panels Failing Early in Wet Climates

A 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.

Choosing Between Galvanized and Galvalume Blind

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.

Finishing Panels After They Are Formed

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.

Thin Profiles That Need a Hard Substrate

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.

Specifications Written in Different Coating Systems

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.

Who Buys It

Buyers Who Order From This Range

  • Metal roofing and wall panel manufacturers running exterior profiles
  • Standing seam and tile profile formers supplying residential and commercial roofs
  • Steel building suppliers packaging roof and wall sheets with their frames
  • Rainwater goods makers producing gutters downpipes and flashings
  • Distributors serving coastal and high rainfall markets where galvanized coil underperforms
  • Contractors and fabricators buying coil to run their own panels on site
Core Advantages

Why Source This Range From Tianyu Metal

Corrosion Resistance Built for Outdoor Service

Galvalume resists corrosion better than standard galvanized coil when exposed to snow ice and rain which is what the exterior roofing duty asks for.

Bare and Pre Painted in the Same Family

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.

Structural Grades Up to G550

G250 G350 G450 and G550 are available so thin high rib roofing profiles keep their shape under foot traffic and wind load.

Coating Quoted in Both Systems

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.

Grades That Match Local Specifications

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.

Packed to Protect the Coated Surface

Coil is packed and shipped for export so the aluminum zinc surface and the paint film reach Southeast Asia South America and Africa unmarked.

Application Scenarios

Where This Range Ends Up

Exterior Metal Roofing

Corrugated trapezoidal and tile profile roofs on housing warehouses and light industrial buildings exposed to rain and snow.

Exterior Metal Paneling and Cladding

Wall sheets and facade panels where the coating is the finish and there is no maintenance access after handover.

Agricultural and Livestock Buildings

Barn and shed roofing in wet climates where the interior atmosphere also attacks the underside of the sheet.

Rainwater Goods and Flashings

Gutters downpipes ridge caps and flashings formed from the same coil so the whole roof carries one coating system.

Solar and Canopy Roof Decks

Roof decks under mounted arrays and open canopies where the sheet stays wet longer than a sealed roof does.

Container and Portable Building Panels

Roof and wall skins on portable and modular buildings that are stored outdoors between jobs.

Buying Guide

What To State When You Order

  1. State the profile you are running and the thickness first because roofing thickness and substrate grade decide each other

  2. Name the substrate grade from G250 G350 G450 G550 A36 SS400 S275jr or rather than asking for a hard or soft coil

  3. Give the coating weight in the system your specification uses such as G90 or Z275 and say whether the roof is coastal or inland

  4. Say whether you want bare GL or pre painted PPGL and for painted coil give the colour reference the top coat and the back coat

  5. Give coil width inside diameter and the maximum coil weight your roll former can take

  6. Ask for the mill test certificate and specify surface protection in the packing so the painted face is not scuffed in transit

GL/PPGL Steel Coil FAQ

Why choose Galvalume coil over standard galvanized coil?

Galvalume steel coil has higher corrosion resistance than standard galvanized steel coil in outdoor environments and resists corrosion better when exposed to snow ice and rain which is why it is one of the most widely used products for exterior metal paneling and roofing.

What is the difference between GL and PPGL?

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.

Which substrate grades are available?

The listed materials are G250 G350 G450 G550 A36 SS400 S275jr and. Higher G grades are normally chosen for thin high rib roofing profiles.

How is the coating weight specified?

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.

Can you supply Galvalume and galvanized coil on the same order?

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.

What documentation comes with a Galvalume order?

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.
