What is Shingle Coverage?

Shingle coverage refers to the area that a certain quantity of roofing shingles can cover when installed on a roof. It is typically measured in squares, where one square equals 100 square feet. This measurement is crucial in determining the amount of shingles needed for a roofing project, ensuring that there are enough materials to cover the entire roof surface.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Use the formula:

SC=200033×(1+0.10)60.61×1.1066.67 shingles

The number of shingles needed is approximately 66.67.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Use the formula:

SC=150025×(1+0.15)60×1.1569.00 shingles

The number of shingles needed is approximately 69.00.
