This tool helps you calculate the size of your roof based on an address you provide.
How to Use the Roof Size Calculator
To use the roof size calculator, follow these steps:
- Enter the address of the property. This helps us to provide a specific result for your location.
- Enter the length and width of the roof in feet.
- Enter the slope of the roof in degrees. This is important to get a more accurate measurement.
- Click on the “Calculate” button.
- The result will be displayed in square feet.
How It Calculates the Results
The roof size calculator uses the input values to compute the roof area in square feet. Here’s how it works:
- The length and width of the roof are multiplied to get the base area.
- The slope of the roof is used to adjust the area calculation. The slope is converted to radians, and the cosine of the slope angle is used as a multiplier to account for the roof’s inclination.
- The final result is the adjusted roof area in square feet.
Limitations
While this calculator provides a good estimate of roof size, it has some limitations:
- The address input is not used to fetch any additional data; it’s only for user reference.
- It assumes a simple rectangular roof shape. Complex roof geometries are not accounted for.
- The slope adjustment uses a basic trigonometric function which may not be entirely accurate for all roof types.
