TopShield Galvanized Drip Edge with Return & Zinc-Aluminum Finish, 1-3/8 in. x 2.55 in., 26 & 28 GA
TopShield Galvanized Drip Edge with Return is formed in an L-profile with a hemmed return, sized 1-3/8 in. x 2.55 in. in 26 or 28 gauge galvanized steel with a zinc-aluminum finish. The return lip helps grip the roof edge and resist wind lift. One piece per sell unit, offered in Mill and Bronze.
Key Features:
- Return Hem Design: A formed return along the outer edge helps hold the drip edge tight against the deck and resist wind uplift.
- Zinc-Aluminum Finish: Galvanized steel with a zinc-aluminum coating for corrosion resistance at the roof perimeter.
- Two Gauge Choices: Offered in 26 GA Mill and 28 GA Bronze to suit the job's stiffness and color needs.
- Compact Profile: The 1-3/8 in. x 2.55 in. profile fits standard eave and rake details where trim space is limited.
- Clean Edge Shedding: Directs runoff clear of the fascia and roof deck.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A return-edge drip edge is a good pick in wind-prone regions, where the hemmed lip keeps the outer flange from lifting. Fasten into the deck on 8–12 in. centers with roofing nails, and overlap pieces in the direction of water flow. Choose 26 GA Mill when the edge will be field-painted or left utilitarian, or 28 GA Bronze where the finish color must match trim.
Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection—formed metal edges are sharp during handling and installation.
