How many sheets are needed to cover a roof?

To calculate the number of sheets needed to cover a roof, the useful surface per sheet must be considered, itself depending on the overlapping rules applying according to the roof structure. Some local specificity in the installation guidelines may apply. Please consult local installation guide. For a precize calculation of the roofing material, each detail of the roof must be considered.

  • From standard roof pitches (17% to 27%) (10° to 15°), considering an end overlap of 20 cm and a side overlap of 1 corrugation, ONDULINE CLASSIC useful surface is 1,54 m². 
  • For highest pitched roofs (over 27%) (>15°) , considering an end overlap of 17 cm and a side overlap of 1 corrugation, ONDULINE CLASSIC useful surface is 1,56 m².
