Roof Square Footage Estimator

120 x 100 12 000 sq.

Roof square footage estimator.

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. You can use the roofing calculator below to get a rough estimate of roofing costs per square foot depending on the type of roofing material. You will need to express this size in terms of square feet. Measure the perimeter of the roof enter the pitch and get the total sum of squares.

It will also give you the perimeter of the shape of the roof. For instance if the roof is 1550 square feet then it is 16 squares. It will also give you the square footage of your roof and any other areas that you re wanting to estimate. This is simply 100 square feet of roof.

Plane 1 plane 2 24 000 sq. 120 x 100 12 000 sq. This gives us a 3d roof area of 1 625 sq ft. Assuming this is a hip roof we multiply this by 1 1 which gives us roughly 18 squares or 1 800 square feet of the roof surface.

You can even embed this tool on a website that you own. For the total square footage of the roof. If your roof is flat or has no more than a 3 in 12 pitch you can calculate its total square footage by simply multiplying the length by the width. Now assuming an average pitch of 9 12 we multiply the 2d area of 1 300 by 1 25.

The calculator cannot account for complex shapes based on a measurement of square footage alone. Steep roofs measure your house at ground level then add in the roof s overhang for greater accuracy. Then add the two planes together to derive the total square footage of the roof. Using the aggregate area of these simple shapes can yield a more accurate roof area to be used with the roofing material calculator.

The first step in a free roofing estimate is measuring the roof dimensions. Low average and high figures for the estimator tool. It will display 3 figures. 1square of roofing covers 100 square feet of roof a bundle is 1 3 of a square.

A square simply refers to a 10 x 10 square of roofing. To find the squares divide the overall roof area by 100 and then round up. 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.
