What is thicker 11 gauge or 16 gauge?
The rating for aluminum gauge may seem backward: the smaller the number, the thicker the sheet metal , The larger the number, the thinner the sheet metal.
Therefore, the thickness of the 16 gauge aluminum sheet is thinner than that of the 11 gauge aluminum sheet.
Parameters of other specifications of aluminum plate：
14 gauge aluminum thickness
16 gauge aluminum thickness
18 gauge aluminum thickness
Note: The larger the value of Gauge, the thinner the sheet.
