<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Planed Roof
To determine how many square tiles you need for a planed roof, measure the length and width of each plane, multiply the length times the width for each plane to get the square footage, and then add the square footage of all planes to get a total square footage. Divide the total square footage by the size of the tile to get the number of tiles needed.
On the Other: Sheet Roof
To determine the number of square tiles needed for a sheet roof, just measure the length and the width of the roof and then multiply those two numbers to get the square footage. Next, divide the total square footage by the size of the tile to get the number of tiles required for the roof.
Bottom Line
The number of square tiles needed for a roof is dependent on the square footage of the roof. Experts recommend that you add a bundle of singles, 29 shingles, to your total to account for waste and starter shingles.
