Profiled roof sheets with supplied laps.

Measure slope length and width for each independent rectangular plane.

Read the right quantitative data

Sheet dimensions on a consistent coverage basis and already specified side and end laps.

Check this ordering assumption

Horizontal run understates slope length and nominal sheet area ignores shared laps.

i

Roof pitch, structural design, fixing schedules and permitted laps remain supplied.

Across = max(1, ceil((plane width − side lap)/(sheet width − side lap))); down = max(1, ceil((plane slope length − end lap)/(sheet length − end lap))); sheets = Σ(across × down × count) + supplied spare sheets.Count whole rectangular roof sheets on supplied measured planes with specified side and end laps. No pitch, fixing pattern, roof structure or weather performance is selected. Across = max(1, ceil((plane width − side lap)/(sheet width − side lap))); down = max(1, ceil((plane slope length − end lap)/(sheet length − end lap))); sheets = Σ(across × down × count) + supplied spare sheets.
