How many square feet does a roll of 30 pound felt paper covers?

Answer 1

Easy way to figure it:

If the roll is 3 feet by 100 feet, it would cover 300 square feet. But you have to overlap it about 6 inches at top and bottom, so once you subtract that, it would cover about 200 square feet., When figuring a job, add some for overlap at valleys, chimneys, etc. . .

Hope this helps.

A standard roll of 30# felt covers 216 square feet; one-half the area of a roll of 15# felt, which covers 432 square feet. Rows are overlapped 2 inches, not 6 inches.
