How to use it
- Calculate factor of slope: 30% Ôëê 1.044 (coeficiente multiplicador)
- Calculate area real: 80m² × 1.044 = 83.5m² of roof
- Teja curva: 83.5m² × 15 ud/m² = 1253 tiles (approx)
- Apply waste 5%: 1253 × 1.05 = 1316 tiles
- Calculate cumbreras: length of cumbrera ├À 0.30m per pieza
Common mistakes
- ⚠️ Not Apply coeficiente of slope (area real > area in planta)
- ⚠️ Use slope insuficiente to The rate of tile (puede filtrar)
- ⚠️ Not Calculate piezas especiales of cumbrera, limas and caballetes
Worked example
Calculate tiles to a roof of 80m┬▓ in planta with 30% of slope using tile curva.
Cubierta of {area_real} m┬▓ reales ({area_planta} m┬▓ in planta) requires {tejas_ud} tiles {tipo_teja} ({tejas_m2} ud/m┬▓), {cumbreras_ud} piezas of cumbrera and {caballetes_ud} caballetes.
