Interesting premise for the video. 22 and 24 gauge are the primary thicknesses we sell and install on standing seam roofing in Texas. We only really see 26 gauge metal on screw-down roof sheeting such as R-panel.

That's some good info! Sheffield Metals does supply 22-gauge steel as well. We usually see that go out the door when it is specified by an architect for certain types of commercial projects. What types of buildings do you install 22-gauge on? -Thad

@@TheMetalRoofingChannel actually Sheffield supplies all the coils we use for standing seam roofing. We install 22ga primarily on high-end residential at the coast and around Central Texas as well as some commercial installations, but 24ga is our "bread and butter". I can only think of one instance were we sold and installed 26ga coiled metal and it was used as flat panel soffit at a bank in Austin. The order of magnitude of physical difference between 22ga, 24ga, and 26ga metal is surprising for most customers. Labor/installation costs tend to be where most of our customers see the financial difference in the 3 gauges depending on the specifics of their project.

Very nice! You're right, when holding a sample of all three thicknesses you can quickly see what huge difference there is between them. Let me know if you have any content requests or if 22-gauge is something you want us to do a video on as well. Thanks for the comment! -Thad

Thanks for this! what about for downspouts and gutters? would 26 GA be a better option?

Do you think 24g is too heavy for residential and that the 26 and 29g or more recommendable?

Building cars for living using 16-20ga it’s funny to hear 24 being called thick / strong or harder to work with

Is standing seam at a place where a skilled DIY'er could install himself for something like a regular gable roof?

How does a standing seam roof compare to a stone coated steel shingle roof in durability and longivity?

Standing seam should have a longer lifespan and will generally be more durable. Stone coated shingles usually use 26-gauge steel, while we typically recommend standing seam to use 24-gauge. Additionally, you can experience granule loss throughout the life of a stone coated shingle which can affect the aesthetics and expose the base metal to the elements. A standing seam roof can be installed as an engineered system that is proven to stand up to real world elements. I'm not aware of stone coated shingles having anywhere near the extensive testing that standing seam does, but I do know there are companies that offer stone coated shingles with a UL 2218 Class 4 hail impact rating and they can be installed as a Class A fire rated assembly. However, stone coated shingles have a unique look and you won't be able to perceive oil canning like you would on a standing seam roof. Your choice comes down to your location, budget, and the aesthetics you're going for. -Thad
