The roof tile calculator makes the task of estimating a tile needed for a new roof rather simple and simple. You have entered several details into the tool, and you are given detailed information about the tiles. Some tools also provide estimates for other raw materials needed for roofing, such as nails, underlying materials, such as felt, roofing cement, and so on.
But before that you need to determine the size of the roof as accurately as possible.
It is not necessary to be accurate to the last decimal point, but fair accuracy is required for this so that you can order the necessary raw materials in the right quantities. Either too little, or too much, is a lot of trouble, especially if you hire workers to do this work, and you find that you are missing pebbles or nails. You will end up paying more labor than you save on material costs.
There are simple methods for calculating the area of roofing. If your roof is already deprived and you can see plywood, then counting the number of sheets and multiplying the area of the sheet by the number of sheets will give you an area.
Council You can add half a sheet to make one sheet, any sheet 3/4 or more sized is rated as one full sheet.
Ordering additional roof tiles is not a problem. You can always return additional materials to the store. Just mention that you will return unused shingles and they will return it or follow the repair later.
Ordering fewer tiles than necessary for work, unnecessarily delays work that is left unfinished, it forces you to make additional trips to the store, and if the store did not have enough supplies of certain shingleles you bought, then you have real problems since you may have to wait longer for them to place an order from the manufacturer.
There will be some amount of loss, breakage and damage to the tiles when workers are working on your roof. Therefore, this must be taken into account in the order. A roofer calculator usually considers waste in the calculations.
In some areas of the roof will require additional shingles. For example, ridges and valleys, roof edges, cornices are places where you use shingles more densely than on smooth surfaces. This is done to prevent water from seeping in vulnerable areas such as forecasts and depressions.
A roof tile calculator usually requires - roof area, number of ridges, valleys, roof complexity, height or slope of the roof, the type of tile used, and your local zip code (when purchasing materials). The tool is loaded with tile pricing data in accordance with the zip code. If your roof is simple with a few holes, such as chimneys, skylights, dormer windows, or other vents. Then you can use a simple roof. If there are a lot of them on the roof, then the roof is complicated. A roof that slopes gently is a low pitch or moderate roof. If this is a steep gradient where the worker cannot stand comfortably on the roof, then this is a steep roof.
Enter the above details into your roof tile calculator and you will get the amount of tile to order.
