Metrotile Bond Tile Roof Calculator

Planning a roof using Metrotile Bond? Use our free Metrotile Bond Tile Roof Calculator to estimate the number of tiles, fixings and roofing accessories required for your project.

Enter your roof dimensions and select the relevant roof details. The calculator uses your measurements alongside Metrotile Bond coverage data to create an estimated material list, helping you calculate what you need before placing your order.

How Many Metrotile Bond Tiles Do I Need?

Metrotile Bond is a lightweight steel roofing tile with a traditional profile designed to replicate the appearance of conventional roof tiles. Its large-format steel construction provides excellent strength while keeping the overall weight of the roofing system low.

The number of Metrotile Bond tiles required will depend on the total area of your roof, together with an appropriate allowance for cutting and waste.

Our calculator handles this automatically. Simply enter your roof dimensions and chosen waste allowance to receive an estimated quantity of Metrotile Bond tiles for your project.

What Does the Metrotile Bond Calculator Include?

The calculator can estimate the main components required for a complete Metrotile Bond roof, including:

• Metrotile Bond roof tiles
• Metrotile 50mm fixings
• Ridge and hip components
• Verge components
• Roofing membrane
• Other compatible accessories required for your selected roof configuration

Where products are supplied in complete packs, boxes or fixed lengths, the calculator rounds the calculated quantity up to the nearest purchasable unit.

Allowing for Cuts and Waste

We recommend including an allowance for cuts and waste when calculating your Metrotile Bond requirements.

The amount required will depend on the design and complexity of the roof. Simple rectangular roof slopes generally produce less waste, while roofs incorporating hips, valleys, dormers and other details can require additional material.

The calculator allows you to select an appropriate waste percentage, which is incorporated into the estimated tile requirement.

Metrotile Bond Fixings

Metrotile Bond tiles are mechanically secured using compatible Metrotile 50mm fixings.

The calculator estimates the fixing requirement based on the number of tiles required, together with any applicable additional fixing requirements for roof accessories.

Metrotile 50mm nails are supplied in 5kg boxes, with each box providing approximate coverage for 280 Metrotile tiles. The calculator converts the fixing requirement into complete boxes and rounds the result up where necessary.

Ridge, Hip and Verge Requirements

Depending on your roof design, additional components are required to finish ridges, hips and verges and provide a complete weatherproof roofing system.

Enter the relevant linear measurements into the calculator and it will determine the estimated number of compatible Metrotile components required based on their effective coverage.

This allows the calculator to account for both the main tiled roof area and the finishing components around the roof.

Roofing Membrane

A suitable roofing membrane is installed beneath the Metrotile roofing system as part of the complete roof build-up.

Where membrane is included, the calculator uses your roof area to estimate the number of rolls required for the project, helping you include the underlay within the same material calculation.

Why Use Our Metrotile Bond Tile Calculator?

Manually estimating a complete Metrotile roof can involve several separate calculations for roof area, tile coverage, waste, fixings, membrane and linear accessories.

Our Metrotile Bond Tile Roof Calculator brings these calculations together to provide an estimated material list based on your individual roof dimensions.

Once your calculation is complete, you can review the quantities and select the Metrotile Bond tiles, fixings and accessories required for your project.

Please Note

Our Metrotile Bond Tile Roof Calculator is provided as an estimating tool. Calculations are based on the measurements entered, selected options and product coverage information. Actual requirements can vary depending on roof design, installation method, cutting requirements and site conditions.

Always check calculated quantities and installation requirements before ordering. For complex roof designs or where you are unsure about any aspect of the installation, we recommend checking the requirements with an experienced roofing professional.
