The Case For 26 Gauge

Commodity Flat Sheet
Are you a sheet metal shop, roofer or sider that often uses commodity flat sheet? That is the generic term for products better known as brown/black, brown/white and primer or pre-prime. The term commodity implies that all suppliers offer the same product with the same quality but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Much of the commodity sheet available in the industry are produced with a cheaper and less corrosion resistant G30 or G60 galvanized substrate. Bryer on the other hand mill sources all of our commodity sheet with a full AZ50 Galvalume substrate! This is an identical substrate to what our architectural Kynar products use.
The paint systems in 2-sided commodity sheet also can be vastly different in quality. Not only is most supplied as a non-warranted polyester system, it’s also not uncommon to see sheets come in with much thinner paint coverage, and sometimes even primerless systems. While you may not be able to tell with the naked eye when brand new, these inferior products will fade & chalk significantly faster and, ultimately, fail much sooner than higher quality systems. Bryer supplies all of our brown/black and brown/white with a full 1.0mil HDP paint system that comes with a standard 20-year finish warranty.
So now you’re telling yourself “sure, that sounds great, but I can’t stay competitive if I start using these more expensive products”. Not so! Bryer’s commodity sheet program is extremely competitive in the marketplace and most often one of the lower cost options! Give us a call today to check pricing and find out more about how you can save money and offer a higher quality product all at the same time!

Now Stocking Bonderized
Bryer has added 24 gauge Bonderized to our standard product mix and is stocking both sheets and coil in our Auburn, WA facility. Bonderized is used in place of both galvanized and pre-primed steel in a variety of applications but mainly for use in post paint situations.
Bonderized is a zinc phosphate pretreatment the converts the galvanized substrate into a non-metallic non-conductive surface. This coating offers a multitude of advantages, including improved corrosion resistance and excellent adhesions for a variety of paint systems and application methods. Most notably, Bonderized can be soldered without any cleaning, sanding or abrading. Please feel free to give us a call if you are interested in pricing or would like to see a sample.
