Open RAL colour catalogueApplications (Pakistan)
Pre-painted galvanized (PPGI) is widely used for roofing and cladding: coil is profiled into long-run sheets, shed builds, and projects where colour, gauge, and coating must match your line.
Application
Roofing & shed builds
A major share of PPGI goes into metal roofing and light industrial sheds. Colour-coated coil feeds roll-forming lines for pans, ribs, or tiles; we align RAL, thickness, width, and coating with your profile and exposure.

PPGI vs PPGL
Compare PPGI (pre-painted galvanized) with PPGL (pre-painted galvalume/aluzinc) for roofing and cladding decisions.
| Aspect | PPGI | PPGL |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal | Painted GI base (zinc-coated steel) | Painted GL base (aluminum-zinc coated steel) |
| Corrosion behavior | Strong general-purpose performance in many environments | Often stronger long-term corrosion performance, especially in aggressive exposure |
| Heat reflectivity | Standard roof heat behavior by color and paint system | Usually better reflectivity due to Al-Zn base characteristics |
| Price level | Often more budget-friendly for mainstream roofing projects | Can be higher depending on base coating and origin |
| Best when you need | Cost-efficient color roofing and cladding with broad availability | Longer-life exposure performance and improved thermal behavior |
Frequently Asked Questions
Common PPGI questions from buyers, fabricators, and project teams.
What is PPGI sheet?
PPGI sheet is pre-painted galvanized steel sheet. A galvanized steel base is coated with primer and top paint, then used in roofing, cladding, panels, and similar applications where both corrosion resistance and finish are needed.
What is PPGI?
PPGI means Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron (or steel). It is color-coated GI substrate supplied in coils or sheets, commonly used for roofing, wall cladding, sheds, and industrial fabrication.
Which is better, PPGI or PPGL?
Neither is universally better; it depends on application. PPGI (zinc-coated base) is widely used and cost-effective for many roofing projects, while PPGL (aluminum-zinc base) is often preferred where higher heat reflectivity and longer corrosion performance are required.
What is PPGI and PPGL?
Both are pre-painted steel products. PPGI uses a galvanized (zinc) base, while PPGL uses a galvalume/aluzinc (aluminum-zinc) base. Selection depends on environment, project life, and budget.
