How abundant bundles of asphalt shingles will i obligation for a roof of 1456 square foot?
you probably want to know how tons are in a bundle, and if its like 20 afterwards you would want to figure out how big of an area that will cover, so run buy one and lay it out on the roof and then calculate from at hand. Mr Knownothin is adequately named, within are usually three or four bundles of shingles to equal a square, not one.
one bundle covers one 'square' which is 10' by 10' [or 100 sq. ft.] so 1500 square foot will need 15 bundles. [If memory serves]. Advice: use the best shingles you can buy if you plan on staying in the home a long time. OR: use the best ones if you plan on selling soon as they are a great selling point for the buyer to consider. The best just cost a little more and cost NO more for labor to install them. Use felt composition under them, absolutely. Don't be cheap and put shingles directly over plywood roofing. Consider "architectural" shingles to join more style, durability, and RESALE VALUE to your home. It does matter! I'm not sorry I go with architectural. Dave. Hi Eddy,
If I remember correctly, 3 bundles per square (10x10).
So 15 square would be 45 bundles. Is that the actual roof size or the square footage of the house? Roof size will be a bit more with the pitch. :)
Alieee...is correct, you GO girl!
Alliee Is correct.
Good information
Good luck
Answers: It depends on the type of roofing. Standard 3 tab asphalt shingles are 3 bundles to a square. A square equals 100 square feet. But dimensional asphalt shingles are usually 4 bundles to a square. If your roof has an nouns of 1456 square feet, I would get 16 squares (1456 plus 10%) to allow for cuts and throw away. Buy from a store that allows for returns of unopened bundles. Find out from the store (or sometimes the bundle itself indicates how many to a square) how many bundles equal a square and afterwards get 16 squares. So 3 bundles to a square means 48 bundles and 4 bundles to a square technique 64 bundles. Also, be sure that all the bundles are from the same lot. This is vital because even though the bundles are the "same" color, bundles manufactured at different times are not exactly the same and if you hold one next to the the other, you won't see a difference, but put different lot bundles on the roof, you can consequently usually see the difference. The lot number is printed on the outside of each bundle. Make sure they are all impossible to tell apart no matter what the salesman says. Believe me.
