How to Measure a Roof for Nipa Thatch Shingles

Measuring your roof accurately is essential to ensure you buy the right amount of Nipa Thatch shingles. Follow these simple steps to measure your roof.

Tools You’ll Need

Tape measure
Ladder
Notepad and pen
Calculator
Safety gear (gloves, hard hat, non-slip shoes)

Steps to Measure Your Roof

1. Safety First

Wear your safety gear and set up your ladder securely. Have someone hold the ladder for stability.

2. Measure Roof Sections

Rectangular or Square Sections
- Measure the length and width of each section.
- Multiply length by width to get the area.
- Example: 20 feet long and 15 feet wide = 300 square feet (20 x 15 = 300).
Triangular Sections
- Measure the base and height of each section.
- Multiply base by height, then divide by 2.
- Example: 20 feet base and 10 feet height = 100 square feet (20 x 10 / 2 = 100).

3. Total Roof Area

Add the areas of all sections together to get the total roof area.

4. Adjust for Roof Slope

Multiply the total area by a slope factor:

3:12 slope: 1.03
6:12 slope: 1.12
9:12 slope: 1.25

Example: 2,000 square feet with a 6:12 slope = 2,240 square feet (2,000 x 1.12).

5. Add Extra for Waste

Add 10-15% extra for waste. Multiply the adjusted area by 1.10 or 1.15.

Example: 2,240 square feet with 10% waste = 2,464 square feet (2,240 x 1.10).

6. Calculate Nipa Thatch Panels Needed

Each Nipa Thatch panel covers 2 square feet. Divide the total area by 2.

Example: 2,464 square feet = 1,232 panels (2,464 ÷ 2 = 1,232).

7. Add Extra Layers for Eave Detail

To make the thatch roof look thicker and more impressive, add 2 extra layers of thatch at the bottom edge of the roof, known as the eave detail.

Measure the circumference or perimeter of the structure.
Multiply this by 2 for the additional layers.
Divide by 3 (the size of each panel).

Example: If the perimeter is 100 feet, the calculation would be 100 x 2 = 200 feet. Then, 200 ÷ 3 = 66.67 panels.

Summary

Measure each roof section.
Calculate the area of each section.
Add the areas together.
Adjust for roof slope.
Add 10-15% for waste.
Divide by 2 to find the number of Nipa Thatch panels needed.
Add extra panels for the eave detail by measuring the perimeter, multiplying by 2, and dividing by 3.

By following these simple steps, you’ll know how many Nipa Thatch panels to buy for your roof. Always prioritize safety and double-check your measurements.
