G-Style drip edge features enhanced dimensions (1-1/2" x 2") that exceed minimum code requirements, providing superior water management and structural protection. The advanced HEM technology creates a reinforced edge that prevents tearing and improves durability compared to standard drip edge. This professional-grade design offers better performance in extreme weather conditions.

HEM technology involves creating a reinforced hemmed edge that significantly increases the structural integrity and durability of the drip edge. This process prevents edge tearing, improves wind uplift resistance, and provides a professional finished appearance. The hemmed edge also enhances water shedding performance and extends the service life compared to standard cut edges.

Yes, 26-gauge galvanized steel (0.0179" thickness) is considered premium thickness for drip edge applications and exceeds most building code requirements. This gauge provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance, and professional durability. Many contractors prefer 26-gauge for its enhanced rigidity and long-term performance compared to thinner alternatives.

Yes, our G-Style drip edge exceeds all current building code requirements including IBC and IRC 2018 standards. The 1-1/2" vertical leg meets the minimum requirement, the 2" horizontal extension exceeds the minimum, and it's designed for proper overlap installation. It also meets regional variations like Florida RBC requirements and high-wind zone specifications.

While the drip edge itself is designed for easy installation, roofing work requires working at dangerous heights and proper knowledge of installation sequences. Professional installation is strongly recommended for safety, warranty compliance, and proper integration with your roofing system. Improper installation can void shingle warranties and create water damage issues.

Measure the linear feet of all roof perimeters including eaves and rake edges. Add 10-15% for overlaps and waste. A typical single-story home requires 100-200 linear feet, while two-story homes may need 200-400 linear feet. Our 50-piece bundle provides 500 linear feet, suitable for most residential projects. Contact us for project-specific calculations.

The professional black finish provides superior aesthetics that complement most roofing colors while maintaining the corrosion protection of the underlying galvanized steel. Black finish is preferred by contractors for its clean, professional appearance and ability to blend with dark gutters and trim. The coating also provides additional UV protection and weather resistance.
