How many corrugated clear roofing sheets are needed for a 100 square meter building?
When building or renovating a roof, corrugated clear roofing sheets are popular because of their good light transmittance and strong weather resistance. But for many owners and construction parties, how to calculate the amount of materials is still a common problem. This article will take a 100 square meter building as an example to analyze the calculation of the amount of roofing sheets in detail, and introduce its core product features in depth to help you make a more informed purchasing decision.

Calculation of material consumption
The standard size of corrugated transparent roof panels is usually:
Width: 0.8m to 1.2m (common 1.05m)
Length: customizable, common 2m to 6m
Sample calculation (taking 1.05m wide and 6m long panels as an example):
Area of single panel = 1.05m × 6m = 6.3㎡
100㎡ roof panels required ≈ 100 ÷ 6.3 ≈ 16 sheets
Actual construction needs to consider overlap (about 10%-15% loss), so it is recommended to purchase 18-20 sheets.
Purchase suggestions
Choose thickness according to purpose:
Greenhouse, carport: 1.0mm-1.5mm (lightweight, low cost), greatly reducing the load of steel structure and saving support costs.
Industrial plant, high wind pressure resistance requirements: 2.0mm and above.
The impact strength of polycarbonate sheet is 200 times that of ordinary glass and 30 times that of acrylic sheet, which can withstand extreme weather such as hail and strong wind.
Some products have passed the bulletproof test (such as 6mm thick sheet) and are suitable for places with high security requirements.

Pay attention to additional performance:
Anti-ultraviolet coating (extends service life).
Fire rating (applicable to specific building codes).
Diverse choices:

Note: The specific amount may vary slightly due to the roof structure (such as slope, skylight, etc.), it is recommended to confirm after on-site measurement.
