đź§® Factor in Roof Pitch
Roofs are not flat, so you’ll need to adjust the flat measurement to account for slope. Multiply your square footage by the appropriate pitch factor:
Roof Pitch Pitch Factor
Flat or 1/12 1.00
3/12 1.04 (same as adding 4%)
6/12 1.12 (same as adding 12%)
9/12 1.25 (same as adding 25%)
12/12 1.41 (same as adding about 40%)
Example: If your flat measurement is 2,000 sq ft and your roof has a 6/12 pitch:
2,000 Ă— 1.12 = 2,240 sq ft actual surface
