Kynar 500 PVDF (24ga)
Kynar is the preferred architectural metal of commercial roofers. Kynar materials are coated in a PVDF resin which is meant to prevent corrosion. This material can hold a 45 year paint warranty if fabricated & installed properly.
An added bonus of kynar are the color choices available.

As well, the use of kynar roofing can be LEED certified and ENERGY STAR approved.
Galvanized Steel
.
26 gauge galvanized steel is the standard in construction. It's cheap, joints can be soldered shut, & it's cheap.
Galvanized steel is a ferrous material treated with zinc which is meant to prevent oxidation.

Due to dissimilar metal corrosion, copper & stainless steel cannot come into contact with aluminum, galvanized, or kynar materials.
Bonderized Steel
.
Bonderizing, or phospatizing, is another form of corrosion resistance metal treatment.
One of its most notable features is paint adhesion. Bonderized sheet metal is commonly employed when the material or area is going to be painted.

COPPER
Due to its cost, copper is mostly used in beach installations.
In place of a gauge used to measure copper's thickness, it is instead measured in ounces per square foot.

Copper forms an oxide layer that protects the metal from further deterioration.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is akin to copper in that it is more resistant to corrosion than are galvanized or kynar metals.
They can be used in architectural or interior where cleanliness is essential (e.g. kitchens, food production, laboratories)
Stainless steel has several different finishes to suit your needs
