They cover large areas of roofing quickly, cutting installation time while keeping a consistent, attractive finish. Each Supatile sheet covers nearly 1m² and carries a profile of 35 tiles (5 x 7), making it an efficient choice for small to medium-sized roofing projects.

How many Supatile sheets do you need?
To estimate the number of sheets required:
Roof area (m²) ÷ 0.91 = number of sheets
Example:
Roof size 5m x 3m = 15m²
15 ÷ 0.91 = 16.48
Required: 17 sheets (rounded up)
This is a guide only and does not include waste or detailing. Allow an additional 5 to 10% depending on roof complexity.
