How many square feet in a bundle of asphalt roof shingles?

Answer 1

Multiply the length by the width of one side of a gabled roof and then multiply by the slope (pythagorean theorm; e.g. 9 squared + 12 squared = 15 squared) and double it (two sides to a roof). This suare footage will give you the amount to divide by a bundle of shingles which covers 32 sq. ft.

Answer 2

most of the time, if it is a three tab, 20yr shingle it takes 3 bundles, some thirty year shingles take 4 bundles, and most if not all 40yr and above take 4-5, because they are thicker, and there are less shingles per bundle.. hope this helps..

Answer 3

It depends on where you buy them. Normally shingles are grouped horizontally in groups of three or four. Either glue or small tacks holds together the pre-grouped shingles.

also, 3 bundles of 30 year shingles = one square=100 sq ft coverage.

------------------------------------

A standard 3-tab shingle contains 1/3 of a square.... that is, it takes three bundles of shingles to cover 100 square feet. With architectural shingles (those made more to look like wood shakes), it takes 4 bundles to cover 100 square feet. The architectural shingles are laminated and are heavier. Due to their additional weight, there are less shingles in each bundle keeping a bundle of shingles to a weight of about 80 lbs.

Answer 4

3 bundels of shingle is a square and 1 square is 100 square ft.

Measure the roof to find how may square feet there are and go from there. You will need a few bundles more than the actual square footage for the starter row and the cap at the peak.

Answer 5

In most shingles three bundles covers 100 sq. ft. some of your heavier more wind resistant roofing with a longer lifespan takes 4 bundles per. "square", the proper term for 100 sq. ft. So if your using what is called a "3 tab",one layer shingle, 33. 33sq. ft.

Answer 6

One bundles of 3-in-1 shingles should cover One 4X8 Sheet of plywood or 32 square feet.

Answer 7

25. Four bundles to a square. A square is 100sq feet, If your using some of the heavier roofing, most shingles are 3 bundles per. square.

Answer 8

A bundle of regular 3-tab shingles will cover 33 1/3 square feet. A bundle of some dimensional shingles will only cover 25 square feet.

Answer 9

32 sq feet
