Learn how to easily calculate the quantity of Portuguese tiles in this unmissable step-by-step guide with @engenhariafeminina! To start, we need to find out the total area of the roof. To do this, we multiply the width by the length. In this example, we have a Portuguese tile roof, 2 pitches, 20m by 10m, with a 35% slope. The area calculation is: 20m multiplied by 10m, we have a total area of 200m². An important point is the correction factor. It is indicated according to the slope of the roof and will be multiplied by the total area. The main factors are: 30% slope: 1.044 35% slope: 1.059 40% slope: 1.077 Doing the math, we have 200m² multiplied by 1.059, which is equal to 211.8m². Generally, the consumption of tiles is between 15 and 17 tiles per square meter, depending on the manufacturer. In this case, we have 211.8m² multiplied by 17, the result = 3,600.6, rounded up, we have 3,601 tiles. However, it is always important to consider a 5% margin for breakages, repairs and waste. Therefore, in this Portuguese tile roof, we will need 3,708 tiles. Another point to be calculated is the necessary amount of ridges. In this case, simply multiply the linear meter, that is, in a straight line in the direction in which they will be installed, by the manufacturer's indication, usually 3 tiles per meter.
