How to measure a roof?
These quick measurements will help us find the optimum solution for your roof safety or solar panels project.
There are many types of metal roof profiles
Standing seam profile can be mechanical (single or double lock), snap-lock, T-panel etc. That is why it is important to send us the close-up picture of your roof to define the type of seam between the panels.
How to measure your roof pitch?
Roof pitch is a measure of vertical rise to horizontal run expressed in inches per foot.
In our example roof with a 8” rise for every 12” run has an 8” per foot, or 8/12 pitch.
Rise of 8 feet and run of 12 feet. 8 divided by 12 is 0.667.
0.667 x 12 (inches per foot) = 8
Pitch 8/12.
