A1 Roofing Coventry

When it comes to roofing, one of the most common questions asked by homeowners and builders in Warwickshire is: "How many roof tiles do I need per square metre?" The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the type of tile, the size of the tile, and the desired headlap.

Roof tiles come in various sizes, but the most common ones are:

• Concrete roof tiles: 420mm x 330mm (nominal size)
• Clay roof tiles: 265mm x 165mm (nominal size)

To calculate the number of roof tiles needed per square metre, we need to consider the tile size and the desired headlap. The headlap is the overlap between adjacent tiles, which is usually around 75mm for concrete tiles and 50mm for clay tiles.

• Concrete roof tiles: 10-11 tiles per square metre (depending on the headlap)
• Clay roof tiles: 60-70 tiles per square metre (depending on the headlap)

Roof tiles are usually sold in pallets, which can contain anywhere from 200 to 400 tiles, depending on the manufacturer and the type of tile. Here's a rough estimate of the roof tile coverage per pallet:

• Concrete roof tiles: 1-2 square metres per pallet (depending on the headlap)
• Clay roof tiles: 0.5-1 square metre per pallet (depending on the headlap)

GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) roofing and rubber roofing are different from traditional tile roofing. They are usually sold in rolls or sheets, and the coverage is calculated per square metre.

• GRP roofing: 1 roll or sheet per 10-20 square metres (depending on the manufacturer and the desired thickness)
• Rubber roofing: 1 roll or sheet per 10-20 square metres (depending on the manufacturer and the desired thickness)

In conclusion, the number of roof tiles needed per square metre in Warwickshire depends on the type of tile, the size of the tile, and the desired headlap.
