TAMKO states it on its own data sheet: one sales square covers 100 sq ft.<\/p>\n<p>The trap is what you measure. A ground measurement or a plan gives you footprint, and a pitched roof is always larger. Multiply footprint by the slope factor for the pitch. That factor is the hypotenuse of a 12 in run and the rise, divided by that 12 in run, so a 6\/12 comes out at 1.118.<\/p>\n<table class=\"pm__table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Pitch<\/th>\n<th>Slope factor<\/th>\n<th>1,200 sq ft footprint<\/th>\n<th>Squares<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>4\/12<\/td>\n<td>1.054<\/td>\n<td>1,265 sq ft<\/td>\n<td>12.65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5\/12<\/td>\n<td>1.083<\/td>\n<td>1,300 sq ft<\/td>\n<td>13.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6\/12<\/td>\n<td>1.118<\/td>\n<td>1,342 sq ft<\/td>\n<td>13.42<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8\/12<\/td>\n<td>1.202<\/td>\n<td>1,442 sq ft<\/td>\n<td>14.42<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9\/12<\/td>\n<td>1.250<\/td>\n<td>1,500 sq ft<\/td>\n<td>15.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>12\/12<\/td>\n<td>1.414<\/td>\n<td>1,697 sq ft<\/td>\n<td>16.97<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Read the spread.

Same roof, 25 more bundles to hump up a ladder.<\/p>\n<h2>Watch the 98.4<\/h2>\n<p>Some laminates cover less than a true square. CertainTeed Landmark and TAMKO Heritage both publish 98.4 sq ft per square, not 100.<\/p>\n<p>Run that 1,252 sq ft roof on Landmark and you need 1,252 divided by 98.4, which is 12.72.

CertainTeed SwiftStart covers 116.25 lineal ft per bundle, so one bundle carries it. The 40 ft ridge on IKO Hip and Ridge 12, at 29.53 linear ft per bundle, takes 1.35 bundles, so order two.<\/p>\n<p>Underlayment goes by roll and by lap. IKO StormTite is 1,000 sq ft per roll, so 1,252 sq ft takes two. TAMKO publishes the honest version on Synthetic Guard: the roll contains 1,001 sq ft but covers 905.67 sq ft, because the laps eat 9.5 percent.<\/p>\n<h2>About waste<\/h2>\n<p>Here is what the spec sheets leave out. Across six shingle data sheets from three manufacturers, not one prints a waste percentage. IKO&#8217;s estimating guide works a sample job at a 10 percent waste allowance, and that is the only waste figure in any document cited here.<\/p>\n<p>Treat waste as a judgment line you own, driven by valleys, hips, dormers, and cut-up planes. Put it on the quote as its own number rather than burying it in a square count a customer can check.<\/p>\n<h2>Count roofing squares in this order<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Measure planes, then apply the pitch factor<\/h3>\n<p>Take each plane&#8217;s footprint, multiply by the slope factor, and add the planes together.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Pick the shingle before you count bundles<\/h3>\n<p>Pull the bundles per square off that product&#8217;s data sheet. Three is an assumption, not a spec.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Check coverage per square<\/h3>\n<p>If the sheet says 98.4, divide by 98.4.
