Roof Tile Spacing Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Roof Tile Spacing.
RTS = LT - LGO - LN
Variables:
- RTS is the Roof Tile Spacing (inches)
- LT is the length of the tile (in)
- LGO is the length of the gutter overhang (in)
- LN is the length of the nib (in)
How to Calculate Roof Tile Spacing?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Roof Tile Spacing.
- First, determine the length of the tile (in).
- Next, determine the length of the gutter overhang (in).
- Next, determine the length of the nib (in).
- Next, gather the formula from above = RTS = LT – LGO – LN.
- Finally, calculate the Roof Tile Spacing.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
length of the tile (in) = 3.5
length of the gutter overhang (in) = 1
length of the nib (in) = .30
RTS = LT – LGO – LN = ?
