Can we tell what type of metal roof this is?

last year

Metal roof looks so beautiful! Can someone point out if it's 24GA / 26GA thick and if that matters.

Trying to get a new roof and any insight would be great!

Thank you!

Hello and thank you for the question, this roof is Una-Clad Kynar in Charcoal Gray, set over Tamko high temperature metal roof underlayment. This roof is 24GA and that is typical of the metal standing seam roofs that we do, going to 26GA would save some money, however, there is the risk of lowering the lifespan of the roof by using a lighter material.
