When choosing roofing material The most difficult thing is to calculate flexible shingles, since to determine the amount of sheet or roll roofing, you can manually draw a drawing, according to which you can lay out slate, ondulin or, for example, technoelast. Trying to lay soft tiles in this way by hand will take a lot of time, and it is not a fact that you will not be wrong when counting. You can use the interpolation method by expanding the shingles by one square meter, and then multiplying the number by the total square meters of the roof. Received volume shingles can be used to roughly calculate the cost of roofing material in order to evaluate the order of the numbers and compare it with the cost of, say, metal tiles or ondulin. When buying, you will inevitably have to calculate the amount of shingles anew, using computer programs, because these programs are quite accurate and allow you to select the right amount of fasteners and additional elements.

On-line calculation of bituminous shingles

The algorithm of on-line calculators for calculating the roof always suggests first choosing the type of roof of the house, for which we count soft tiles. The choice is usually small: single-pitch, gable, hip and multi-gable shapes. Next, you need to choose a collection of shingles, since it has not only different thicknesses and colors, but also the shape of the shingles. After that, it is necessary to enter the dimensions of the roof: length, width, angle of inclination, in the presence of complicating elements, it will be necessary to additionally enter their geometric dimensions. There are calculators that require you to enter the length of the skates, valleys, the width of the eaves. After filling in all the initial data, the final action remains - to calculate. As a result, for simple roofs (single or gable), the final amount of tiles is quite close to reality; for complex roofs, it is better to increase the amount obtained by 10-15%. As an example, you can

Calculation of bituminous shingles in the "Roof Profi" program

If you use a calculator from a resource on which a wholesale company sells flexible roofing, then, most likely, only the number of tiles and those elements that you indicated when filling in the initial data will be displayed in the calculation results. But a good wholesaler has a rather large assortment of flexible roofing and, for example, they will offer the same "honeycomb" not only in different colors, but also from different manufacturers. Companies producing bituminous roof, will try to give you a calculation with all the additional nomenclature that they release. So, for example, when calculating the Shinglas flexible roof of the Technonikol company, you will receive not only the required amount of soft bituminous shingles, but also the number of strips - cornice, abutment, pediment, the estimated amount of vapor barrier, waterproofing, bituminous mastic, roofing nails, except that the material for the lathing under the bituminous roof will not count for you. Whether you order everything in the complex is up to you. As a supplement, we present a video about the Building Calculator software package, perhaps it will be useful to you:

Manual calculation of bituminous shingles

For those who are not looking for simple ways, and are also used to trusting only their own eyes, we present a method for calculating bituminous tiles manually.

1. We draw a geometric projection of the roof onto a plane.
2. We consider its area and multiply by a special coefficient, which depends on the slope. For a roof slope of 35º, it is 1.221. For a slope of 45º - 1.414, etc. We get the area of \u200b\u200bour roof.
3. We look at the packaging of the tiles or in its description, what area can be covered with soft tiles from one package.
4. Then we divide it by the area covered by one pack of soft bitumen shingles, and we get the required number of packs.

An example of a projection of the roof of a house onto a plane

If this calculation is too approximate for you, then you can calculate the roof by dividing it into separate geometric elements. For each element, you need to find the area, which is divided by the area of \u200b\u200bone package of bituminous shingles, with which you intend to decorate the roof of your house. The resulting number of packages is then added up. The latter method will be more accurate than first summing up the area of \u200b\u200bindividual geometric elements that make up the roof of your house, and then dividing the total area by the area of \u200b\u200bthe bitumen shingles packing. In this case, we will take into account the soft shingles that will fall on the edges, valleys, abutments and other architectural complexities of the roof as a whole, but the possibility of using cut pieces, unfortunately, is not always available. In order to calculate the number of additional parts, we will need to know the length of the skates, ribs and valleys. Then the length of these elements will need to be multiplied by a special coefficient, which depends on the shape of the shingles. So, for example, for Tegola Classic, which has rectangular shape shingle, a coefficient of 0.25 is applied, and for Nordic soft bitumen shingles - 0.34. To calculate the required number of shingles in the valleys, the total length of the valleys is multiplied by a factor of 0.55 for the same Tegola. In some tile collections for the first row, which is laid along the eaves, the calculation of bituminous shingles must be done separately, multiplying the length of the eaves by a factor of 0.145. After all the fragments of the roof and complex places have been counted, the resulting amount of tiles is summed up and multiplied by 10-15% in order to have a technological reserve for rejects in work, in material or an error in calculations.

Soft tiles Shinglas Technonikol

Price from 220 rubles per m2 The price is valid under certain conditions of the order

Shinglas soft tileproduced by the Russian company TechnoNICOL under the Shinglas brand. The production enterprises of this corporation produce an assortment of mineral insulation made of stone wool, extruded polystyrene, as well as the entire line of bitumen-polymer roll materials for flat and pitched roofs.

Flexible shingles Technonikol is produced at the plant in Ryazan, where 5 main production lines of Shinglas soft roof are located. The newest equipment of the factories allows to achieve a wide variety of color solutions for pitched roofs. The tile factory has been operating since 2005.

Shinglas soft roof is made using high quality oxidized bitumen with the addition of the SBS modifier. By analogy with Finnish and Canadian manufacturers, it has multilayer structure.

The Shinglas Technonikol soft tile has a relatively inexpensive cost and can be used on roofs of the most complex shapes with a slope from 12 ° to negative angles (on the bases of domes, etc.).

How to choose and buy Shinglas: the price of collections

The KRONA company has been the official dealer of the TechnoNIKOL plant for over 10 years. and can offer its customers a complete set of Shinglas soft roofs with the highest trade discounts. Today in our office in Moscow you can buy Shinglas at inexpensive prices in several collections. They include more than 30 varieties shingles different forms and colors from 200 to 500 rubles per m2 of tiles.

TechnoNIKOL, the Shinglas manufacturer, has launched more expensive premium collections of laminated multilayer shingles over the past few years for more discerning customers looking for business and premium roofing. They all have an official written factory warranty and a long service life.

The current price list of shinglas, as well as the price of all collections in all colors, is given on the page . However, the best solution would be to send the dimensions of the roof to us for a free calculation, for this send us "Application for calculation".

This is necessary for calculating the general configuration of Shinglas shingles, since in addition to the top coating, the soft roof installation technology provides for many accessories and additional elements. it underlay carpet, valley and ridge elements, metal cornice and end strips, bitumen glue, waterproofing and vapor barrier, insulation, soffit for filing the cornice, gutters, nails. And all these components significantly affect the total cost of Shinglas shingles. .

The table below shows the approximate price per m2 of different Shinglas product lines in relation to the service life.

Shinglas soft roof - forms of flexible shingles Technonikol

Shinglas soft roof has five types of shingle cutting - sonata, chord, trio, tango, jazz. All of them - the classic six-sided sonata, rectangular chord, and stylish jazz are in high demand among Russian buyers. And it is not surprising, because the Shinglas brand in the current realities of our market is the most affordable roofing material among similar products. Not only the owner of a large cottage, but also the owner of a summer cottage can afford to order Shinglas Technonikol soft tiles. country house, and the owner of a commercial building with a large roof area.

Shinglas flexible tile - classic, ultra, laminated two-layer

Attention! It is important. Shinglas shingles are divided into several series, which can be conditionally divided into economy, standard and premium.

Select a series and collection of Shinglas soft roofing
Shinglas Finnish roof tiles	Shinglas classic	Shinglas Ultra	Shinglas laminated
Super economy class series. Characterized by a thin bituminous layer, designed for temporary roofs or outbuildings, TechnoNIKOL guarantee up to 5 years.	The classic series, close to economical, is an inexpensive single-layer bituminous tile TechnoNIKOL. With a shingle thickness of no more than 3 mm and cheap granulate, a manufacturer's warranty up to 15 years.	Standard collections of single-layer soft tiles with roofing tile thickness of 3.2 - 3.5 mm and better quality basalt coating. The TechnoNIKOL manufacturer's warranty for the Ultra series is 25 years.	They are smoother, as if covered with a laminated film outer layer... The Jazz and Country series are business class collections with a thickened shingle size from 5 to 6 mm, a two-layer structure and a service life of 35 to 50 years. It is they who in the products of this manufacturer meet the European standards "price - quality" as much as possible.

METAL ACCESSORIES

Eaves strip KP-1 / KP-2 (red, green, brown) is installed on all eaves; end strips PT-1 / PT-2 along the entire length of the roof ends; PP-1 / PP-2 abutment strips are installed in places where the roof joins the walls.
When calculating the required amount metal accessories, it should be borne in mind that their standard length is 2m, installation is carried out with an overlap equal to 2cm.

BITUMINOUS TILES

Determine the area - the sum of the areas of all its segments.
Each package of shingles contains 3 sq. m. of ready-made roofing carpet (taking into account the overlap during installation). Package weight - 24kg. When calculating the required amount of tiles, in order to avoid problems caused by insufficient amount of material, it is necessary to take into account the coefficient corresponding to the complexity of the roof. On the most difficult roofs, it does not exceed 1.05 (5%).

RIDGE / EAVY TILES

Ridge / cornice tiles have a rectangular shape. The size of one ridge / eaves tile is 1000x250 mm. Cornice and ridge tiles are versatile and designed in such a way that they can be used in both cases. When the tile is used as a cornice (starting) tile, it is used in its entirety and mounted in a joint. In the case of using a tile as a ridge, each sheet is divided into three parts along the notches, the size of each part is 330x250 mm. The tiles are mounted on the ridge with an overlap. One package of ridge / eaves tiles is enough for 12 installation running meters ridge, or 20 running meters of cornice.

END CARPET

End carpet is designed for reliable waterproofing internal fractures of the roof (valleys), most exposed to snow and rain loads, as well as sealing of abutments to vertical walls and pipes.
(If the ridge of the roof is a convex corner, then the valley is a concave one, and this corner must be covered with an valley carpet before the main installation.)
There is no special calculation for the valley carpet as such, since it is taken directly along the length (10 m in a roll 1 m wide).

ROOF NAILS

When arranging the roof, galvanized nails with an enlarged head 30x10x2.5 mm are used. When installing the roof, all elements of the roofing system have a kind of double fixation - due to the adhesive layer and due to fixation with nails. At slope angles of up to 45 °, each shingle shingle is fastened with 4 nails, if the slope is steeper than 45 °, then the consumption increases to 6 nails per shingle.
Ridge / eaves shingles are fixed with 4 nails.
End carpet and underlay carpet are fixed around the perimeter in 20-25 cm increments.
Metal components are fixed with nails in a checkerboard pattern with a pitch of 15-20 cm. The weight of nails in a package is 5 kg.
The consumption of nails in the complex can be estimated as:

BITUMEN MASTIC

It should be noted that bitumen mastic is used for gluing valleys, sealing eaves, end parts and abutments to walls and pipes. Accordingly, the more complex the roof, the more mastic is needed. Packing of bitumen mastic - 10 kg.
Consumption rates:
The end parts are used - 100 g per 1 m. P.
For an end carpet - 400 g per 1 m.
For sealing of junctions - 750 g per 1 m. P.
We advise you to draw the attention of your customers that an increased consumption of glue than the given norms does not lead to an improvement in adhesion, therefore it is recommended to adhere to the consumption norms of bitumen mastic and not exceed it.

ROOF VENTILATION

To ensure ventilation of the roof space, it is necessary to equip a ventilation ridge. And in those places of the roof where there is no ridge, it is necessary to install ventilation elements (aerators): "Standard" (with a roof slope of more than 60 °) or "Special" (~ 1 piece per 20 m2 of roof, taken into account according to the roof design). At least one ventilation element must be installed on each roof slope (but not less than 1 for every 60 sq. M. Roof).

Attention! Prices are retail prices including VAT and for regions within a radius of up to 1000 km. from the plant in Saratov. In other cases, it is necessary to take into account the transport component. There is a system of discounts.

Calculation of the amount of roofing material (made manually or using a special program), as well as the calculation of the installation of the roof, allow each potential buyer to decide on the choice of coverage and make a preliminary estimate for repair or construction. Financial side the question in many cases is key. Based on the calculation made with the help of a special construction calculator, the most accurate, verified decision on the purchase of a particular collection of flexible tiles is made.

In the first step, you choose the type of house, the structure and structure of the walls. The second stage introduces the Ruflex soft roofing collections:

• sota;
• esten;
• runa;
• briss;
• ornami.

By choosing required material, move on to choosing the color of the shingles. Make sure we offer the widest selection of roofing material colors to suit any exterior. Finally, after choosing a color scheme, a shape appears in front of you. Just enter the footage of the roof, as well as information about the ridge, end face, cornices, abutments and valleys into the appropriate windows. The roof calculation will take place in a second, as a result you will receive an information sheet with soft roof prices for your house.

For convenience, you can print the resulting result.

Flexible tile roof calculation on your own

There is a relatively easy option for independently determining the volume of building materials for the roof, including even such innovative ones as flexible shingles. The calculation of the roof is carried out using a simple method:

1. A geometric projection is drawn onto a horizontal plane. It is best to do this on graph paper or sheets in a cage - it will be much easier to calculate the total area of \u200b\u200bthe slopes. The resulting indicator is multiplied by the slope factor. The most common slopes are 35 (the coefficient is 1.221), as well as 45 (Κ \u003d 1, 414) degrees.
2. The total area of \u200b\u200bthe slopes is divided by the area covered by the material from one package of ordinary RUFLEX tiles (3 square meters), after which it is easy to find the total number of packages of this building material. The variant with the division of the surface into separate geometric shapes is considered more accurate, after which the calculation of the soft roof on the roof is made for each of them. Greater accuracy is achieved by taking into account the parameters of abutments, edges and other, smaller structural elements. It is necessary to purchase bituminous shingles with a margin (K \u003d 1.03 - 1.07), since the cut tiles are very difficult to integrate into the formed coating.
3. Roof and ridge tiles are counted in linear meters. One pack (according to) contains 17 running meters of ridge shingles and 21 - cornice shingles.
4. The number of additional parts is calculated much easier than other elements that make up soft roof The calculation of the cost of eaves, pediment, adjoining strips is based on the results of the calculation. In it, the length of the cornices or pediments, abutments is divided by the length of each type of plank.
5. Experts advise considering the skill of the installer when laying flexible shingles.
