4 ways to calculate tile needs

Here are some ways you can do to calculate the need for a good and correct house tile:

1. Measure the roof area

The first thing you have to do is calculate the roof area. You can count using a meter. If you have found the length of each side, then you just need to multiply it. If so, then you can go to the next stage. 

2. Know what type of tile you want to use

The next step is to determine what type of roof you want to use. Because each type of roof has a different area, then you must know for sure 1 sheet of roof is how many meters. If you already know then you can find out how many roofing sheets are needed.

3. Example of calculation if the shape of the roof is pyramidal

The shape of the roof that is often encountered is a pyramid-shaped roof. So, here is an example of the calculation:

1. triangular roof area A = (7m x 4.044m)/2 = 14,154 m2.
2. triangular roof area B = (7m x 4.044m)/2 = 14.145 m2.
3. trapezoidal roof area C = ((9.575m + 2.575m)/2) x 4.041m = 24,54908 m2.
4. trapezoidal roof area D = ((9.575m + 2.575m)/2) x 4.041m = 24.54908 m2.

Total roof area = 77,40615 m2.

4. Necessary tile needs

1. Frog tiles = 24 pcs/m2 x 77,40615 m2 = 1857,748 pieces, rounded up to 1860 pieces.
2. Plentong tiles = 25bh/m2 x 77,40615 m2 = 1935,154 pieces rounded 1940 pieces.
3. Garuda tiles = 18bh/m2 x 77.40615 m2 = 1393.311 pieces, rounded to 1400 pieces.
4. Kanmuri roman tile = 14bh /m2 x 77,40615 m2 = 1083,686 pieces rounded up to 1100 pieces.
5. Mantili tiles = 24 pcs/m2 x 77,40615 m2 = 1857,748 pieces, rounded up to 1860 pieces.
