Steel thickness is measured by gauge. Thicker material is less susceptible to oil canning and has more structural strength, but it's also the more expensive option. In today's Q&A Monday, Thad Barnette is joined by Jeff Hock of the Sheffield Metals Technical department to learn about the differences between two common steel metal roofing thicknesses, 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel. They compare price, formability, durability against harsh weather, and more.
