The 29, 26, and 24 metal roofing gauge is a measurement of the thickness of the metal, but it's important to remember that the metal increases in thickness as the gauge numbers decrease. Union offers several gauge options for metal roofing. Listed in order from thinnest to thickest, they are Utility, Econ 29, 29, 26, and 24 gauge. It's important to note that 29 gauge metal roofing is the thinnest metal recommended for residential applications. Our heavy duty 24 gauge metal roofing is recommended for those areas with severe weather, high winds, or hail.
A metal roof is lightweight, durable, fire-resistant and does not rot. A professionally installed steel roof can be $5,100-$22,000 for steel roofing on a simple one-story ranch-style house; aluminum runs $11,900-$24,200 for the same roof; and copper jumps to $25,500-$39,600. A slate roof is one of the most long-lasting roof materials available.
