The Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) recommends a galvanizing thickness level of at least G-90 for residential applications and an AZ-50 or AZ-55 designation for galvalume coatings. The coatings are offered in several thicknesses-the thicker the coating the longer the service, and the higher the cost. Of the two, galvalume offers the longer service. Steel roofing products are coated with either zinc (galvanized) or a mixture of aluminum and zinc (galvalume or zincalume).

Aluminum sheets don’t require the metallic coating but do get painted. Rolls of 24- or 26-gauge steel sheets are given a metallic coating to prevent rust, followed by a baked-on paint finish.
