Figure Squares Shingles Roof

A flat roof has a slope of 2 in 12 or less.

Figure squares shingles roof. The area calculator can be used to calculate the area of a variety of simple shapes that together can comprise the area of the roof. A low slope roof is anywhere from 2 in 12 to 4 in 12. To calculate the size of the roof you need to measure the size of the roof as if it were flat account for roof pitch calculate square footage and finally determine how many squares of material are required for the roof the calculator above can handle all of this simply enter the length width and pitch and it will determine the size of the roof in squares. As a rule of thumb there are 3 bundles to a square assuming that you are using three tab strip shingles.

Convert the area to roofing squares. A square of shingles is the number of shingles needed to cover 100 sq feet of roof area. The calculator cannot account for complex shapes based on a measurement of square footage alone. However shingles are packaged in a way that they are light enough for the average person to carry around.

The answer is the number of roofing squares for the roof. There are two main categories of roofing. Roof slope style. Conventional slope roof range between 4 in 12 and 8 in 12.

Get the square footage of roof and divide it by 100 and it will give the number of squares you need and for every decimal number over 3 buy a bundle to achieve the amount of material. That is the roof s rise. Using the aggregate area of these simple shapes can yield a more accurate roof area to be used with the roofing.
