Choose your steel

29 gauge or 26 gauge?

Both options use the same familiar Classic AG profile. The difference is steel thickness and rigidity.

29

Gauge

Practical and cost-conscious.

A common residential choice that balances metal-roof durability with project value. Suitability depends on the home, roof design, and project requirements.

  • Familiar Classic AG appearance
  • Broad color selection
  • Strong value for many projects
26

Gauge

Heavier and more rigid.

A thicker steel option with increased rigidity for homeowners who want a more substantial panel or whose project calls for heavier material.

  • Thicker steel panel
  • Greater panel rigidity
  • Premium material option
