How Many Bundles of Shingles Are in a Square?

A roofing square is 100 ft² of roof, and a square takes from 3 bundles^[1] to approx. 5 bundles^[2] depending on the shingle. Each maker prints its own count, so read the row for your shingle in the table. Some makers also print a coverage per square just under that, and their bundles per square cover the printed figure.

The shingles are listed by maker, then by name. The area one bundle covers is the coverage per square the maker prints divided by the bundles per square the maker prints. Where the sheet prints no coverage, it is the trade square of one hundred square feet divided by the bundles per square. Every bundle count on this site divides the roof area by this figure. Shingles whose maker prints the coverage of one bundle and no bundles per square are in their own table below.

What changes at other sizes

The count follows the shingle and the size of the roof. The table below counts bundles for three roof areas in square feet, each divided by the area one bundle covers and rounded up once on the total, before any waste allowance. Waste goes on the roof area first, and starter strip and ridge cap are counted separately by length.

The shingles are listed by maker, then by name. The columns are roof area in square feet, not the maker's squares. Each count is that area divided by the area one bundle covers, rounded up once to whole bundles. Where the maker prints a coverage per square under one hundred square feet, each hundred square feet of roof is more than one of that maker's squares, so the count is higher than the bundles per square alone would give. Waste goes on top of the roof area before that rounding.

This is each maker's own figure for one of its squares, shown as printed, and the bundles per square the maker prints cover that area. Where it is less than one hundred square feet, one hundred square feet of roof is more than one of that maker's squares, so it takes more than the bundles per square and the count rounds up to the next whole bundle. Shingles not listed here print no coverage per square.

These makers print how much one bundle covers and do not print bundles per square, so this site shows none for them. The bundle count divides the roof area by the printed coverage of one bundle and rounds up once.

Questions

Is the number of bundles in a square the same for every shingle?

No. Each maker prints its own bundles per square, and the table lists them product by product, so read the figure for the shingle you chose.

Why can a hundred square feet of roof take more than the bundles per square?

Some makers print a coverage per square a little under a hundred square feet, and the bundles per square they print cover that printed figure. A hundred square feet of roof is then slightly more than one of that maker's squares, so the count rounds up to one more bundle. The tables show both printed figures and the area one bundle covers.

Does the bundle count include waste?

No. The counts are for the roof area alone. The roofing calculator adds a waste allowance to the total area and rounds up once, so waste stays its own line.

Are starter and ridge cap counted in the bundles per square?

No. Starter strip and ridge cap are sold in their own bundles and cover a length, not an area. The roofing calculator counts them separately, along the eaves and along the ridge and hips.

Does the calculator give a cost?

No. It gives quantities. Multiply each quantity by the price from your own supplier, since prices differ by shingle, region and season.
