Bay Cities Metal Galvanized Z-Bar Flashing 2 in. Base Profiles 26/28 Ga Mill Finish
Bay Cities Metal galvanized Z-bar flashing is a Z-shaped metal transition flashing that diverts water away from vulnerable roofing points so it can drain properly. Offered in four mill-finish galvanized steel profiles from 2 in. x 1 in. x 2 in. to 2 in. x 1-1/2 in. x 3 in. in 26 and 28 gauge, it is sold by the piece and pairs with matching galvanized drip edge and valley flashing.
Key Features:
- Water diversion: The Z shape diverts water away from vulnerable points in the roofing so it can drain properly.
- Four profiles: Choose from 2 in. x 1 in. x 2 in. up to 2 in. x 1-1/2 in. x 3 in. profiles to match the transition.
- Two gauges: Available in 26 and 28 gauge galvanized steel depending on profile.
- Galvanized steel: Galvanized coating resists rust on exposed roof edges and transitions.

Q: What is included?
A: One piece of Z-bar flashing per order in the selected profile.
Q: How does Z-bar flashing work?

Q: Which gauge should I pick?
A: 28 gauge is economical for standard conditions; 26 gauge gives extra stiffness for wider profiles and heavier-duty transitions.
Q: Can it be painted?
A: It comes in mill finish; verify paint adhesion on galvanized steel before field painting.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Size the Z-bar to the actual transition: the wider 1-1/2 in. web profiles cover uneven gaps or thicker substrates. Keep laps shingled with the flow of water and fasten only the top leg so the flashing can expand. On bare-galvanized roofs match the mill finish; on painted systems order painted flashing instead.
Galvanized sheet edges are sharp; wear gloves and eye protection when cutting and installing metal flashing.
Order Bay Cities galvanized Z-bar flashing in the profile your transition needs and shed water the right way.
