Steel gauges
0.5mm (24swg)
0.5mm is a lightweight gauge ideal for use on walls and smaller domestic and agricultural roofs. With a typical weight of only 4.8kg/m². 0.5mm gauge steel cladding is especially useful when weight is a concern. Please be aware that if you are planning to use 0.5mm gauge sheets on your roof then you must support the sheets more often¹, typically every 0.6m (or 2ft).
0.7mm (22swg)
0.7mm steel cladding is the established standard for roofing applications with a typical weight of 6.8Kg/m². 0.7mm gauge can typically be supported¹ every 1m.
