Explore our durable, high-quality mabati roofing sheets, available in various styles and finishes to suit every home, business, and budget.
Mabati thickness is measured in millimeters (mm) using a micrometer screw gauge. The relationship between Gauge and thickness is defined in the East Africa standard for steel sheets and is tabulated below.
| Gauge | Diameter (mm) | Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
| 32 | 0.20 | +12% |
| 30 | 0.25 | ±10% |
| 28 | 0.32 | ±10% |
| 26 | 0.40 | ±10% |
| 24 | 0.50 | ±10% |
You will note that as the gauge number decreases, the sheet's thickness increases. There is need to optimize and use the right Mabati size to avoid exerting unnecessary weight on the building structure.
