How many Tapco DaVinci per square metre?

Simply, calculate the square meterage of your roof by multiplying the length by the width in metres (L x W = M²).

For example: if you have a 5 metre x 3 metre roof with a 18-degree pitch, then the equation would be 5 x 3 = 15 (meters squared), A pack of 22 tiles is ONE square meter including wastage, so 15 packs would be needed.*

*DISCLAIMER: This is just an estimated guide based on exact coverages advised by the manufacturer, and allows for wastage on cuts. The roofing industry standard for this is to allow an additional 5% to 10%, so depending on the roof’s complexity and the skill/experience of the person installing the product extra packs may be required, therefore, the final decision on quantity is the responsibility of our customer or the person installing the product.
