| To calculate the number of sheets required to complete
your roof, measure the width of the roof and divide
this figure by the cover width.
i.e. using 6" Asbestos profile sheet the
roof is 3000mm wide, divide by the cover width which
is 1016mm = 2.95 sheets. Round this figure up
to the nearest full sheet - 3 sheets will be required.
Fixings Requirements
Divide the roof width by the fixing centres. Divide
the roof length by the support centres and add 1.
Multiply these two values together .
= approximate number of fixings required. |
