An important and at the same time rather difficult moment of the roof device is to determine the area of the coating and, therefore, the amount and cost of the material necessary in this case. After all, it is really very unpleasant when one or two sheets of the coating are not enough to complete the work on the installation of the roof or when at the end of the work you find that you have a fairly large amount of unused material, meaning that the money was wasted.
So, before buying a metal tile, the most stringing owners calculate its most accurate required quantity.
How to determine the cost of a roof from a metal tile?
The determining parameters that allow you to calculate the amount of the necessary material are the lengths of the slopes and the skate, on the basis of which the preliminary area of the coating is determined.
The difficulty is that even the simplest roof has its own characteristics. For example, this may be a chimney for which it will be necessary to cut the coating and arrange adjacents that provide protection against possible moisture getting into the structure.
And if the roof has a complex relief, how to calculate then. In particular, to cover such structures, experts do not recommend using metal tiles, since arrangement with its help such a roof will be associated with an unproductive flow of roofing material.
Nevertheless, in all other cases, a preliminary assessment of the cost of the roof of metal tiles is necessary at the design stage.
At the same time, the advantage of the roof of metal tiles is precisely in its lightweight, taking into account which, all bearing wall and roofing structures, as well as the foundation can be made of lighter materials that do not have high bearing capacity, which means that the construction will eventually cost less expensive.
Acquire a metal tile, focusing on its estimated amount, follows from 10-15% of the margin. The more accurate value of the necessary roofing material can only be found by measuring the already installed rafter system.
