What is the common thickness range of color steel plates?

Common thickness range
The thickness of color steel plate has various specifications. Generally speaking, its common thickness is between 0.3 - 1.0 mm. For example, in some simple temporary buildings, mobile board houses and other uses, 0.3 - 0.5 mm color steel plate is more common. This thinner color steel plate is lighter, easier to install and transport, and the cost is relatively low. In addition, the common color steel plate thickness specifications on the market also include 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm and 250mm, etc.

Thickness selection in different application scenarios：
Industrial buildings:
In the construction of walls and roofs of industrial plants, 0.5 - 0.8 mm color steel plates are usually used. Because industrial buildings have high requirements for the strength and durability of color steel plates, color steel plates in this thickness range can withstand certain external forces such as wind loads and snow loads, and can also meet the corrosion resistance requirements in industrial environments. For example, in some large steel structure industrial plants, the roof uses 0.6-0.8 mm thick color steel plates, and the wall uses 0.5-0.7 mm thick color steel plates, which can ensure the stability and sealing of the plant structure during long-term use.
Civil buildings:
For civil buildings such as light steel villas, the thickness of color steel plates is generally between 0.4-0.6 mm. This is because civil buildings pay more attention to appearance and thermal insulation performance, and the strength requirements are slightly lower than those of industrial buildings. Color steel plates of this thickness can provide better decorative and thermal insulation effects while ensuring the safety of the building structure. For example, if the exterior wall color steel plates of light steel villas are selected with a thickness of about 0.5 mm, combined with suitable insulation materials, better living comfort can be achieved.
Warehouse buildings:
In storage buildings, especially warehouses with high requirements for waterproofing and moisture-proofing, the thickness of color steel plates is usually between 0.5-0.8 mm. Thicker color steel plates can better prevent rainwater leakage and ensure the safety of goods in the warehouse. For example, some warehouses that store precision instruments or food may choose 0.7-0.8 mm thickness for roof and wall color steel plates, and pay more attention to the connection and sealing between color steel plates during installation to ensure the waterproof performance of the warehouse.
In short, the common thickness of color steel plates can be selected according to specific application scenarios and needs.
