What does Gauge mean?

According to Title 15 of the US Commerce and Trade Code (Chapter 6, Subchapter III, Sec. 206), a standard measure has been established for the manufactured thickness of processed sheet metal in the United States:

• 6 Gauge is .006" thickness
• 8 Gauge is .008" thickness
• 9 Gauge is .009" thickness

What this means for you: When hit, the 9 gauge slat  has a much higher probability of resisting denting than a 6 gauge slat. When purchasing a aluminum mini blinds, purchase the highest gauge to keep your mini blinds looking their best, longest.
