1. What is the Roof Tile Calculator?

The Roof Tile Calculator helps determine how many tiles are needed per square meter for roofing projects. This calculation is essential for accurate material estimation and cost planning.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Tile Size — The area of a single tile in square meters
• Tiles per m² — Number of tiles needed to cover one square meter

Explanation: This calculation provides the number of tiles required to cover one square meter of roof area based on the size of individual tiles.

3. Importance of Tile Calculation

Details: Accurate tile calculation is crucial for proper material ordering, budget planning, and minimizing waste in roofing projects. It ensures you purchase the right quantity of tiles.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the size of a single tile in square meters. Make sure to use accurate measurements for precise results. Always add 10-15% extra for cutting waste and breakage.
