Calculation Formula

Row Spacing = Tile Length × (1 - (1 / Number of Tiles Per Row))

Where:
Tile Length = Length of each tile (mm)
Number of Tiles Per Row = Number of tiles that fit in one row

Learn how to use the Roof Tile Spacing Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the length and width of your roof tiles in millimeters (mm).
  2. Specify the number of tiles that fit in one row.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the optimal row spacing.
  4. The result will be displayed in millimeters (mm).

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the row spacing:

Row Spacing = Tile Length × (1 - (1 / Number of Tiles Per Row))

This formula ensures that the tiles are evenly spaced across the roof while accounting for the number of tiles per row.

Example

If you have tiles that are 400mm long and you want to place 10 tiles per row, the row spacing would be:

Row Spacing = 400mm × (1 - (1 / 10)) = 400mm × 0.9 = 360mm

This means you should space the rows 360mm apart to achieve the desired coverage.
