If I decide to install steel roofing, how do I know what thickness is right for my building?
| Thickness depends on the snow loads in your region, the spacing of the strapping and the roof's slope. For a standard residential building, however, 30, 29 or 28 gauges are usually sufficient. |

Is it true that a metal roof is as silent as any other type of roofing material when it is raining?
| Yes, thanks to the insulation directly beneath the roof which absorbs the sound of the rain. |

What is the minimal slope required for installing steel on a roof?
