Dachfläche

Dachfläche ist größer als Grundfläche wegen der Neigung. Multiplikator: 30° = ×1,15. 45° = ×1,41. Haus 100 m² bei 35° Neigung: ~115 m² Dachfläche. In Deutschland Standard: Tondachziegel oder Betondachsteine. Frankfurter Pfanne (Betondachstein) ist der Klassiker.

Verbrauch

Tondachziegel (Flachdachziegel): 14-16/m². Frankfurter Pfanne: 10/m². Biberschwanz: 35-40/m². Schiefer: 25-35/m². Material: 20-60 €/m². Mit Arbeit: 60-150 €/m² Neueindeckung.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

Architectural (dimensional) shingles cost only 15-25% more than 3-tab but last 30-50 years vs 20-25 years. They also offer better wind resistance (130 mph vs 60-70 mph) and significantly improve curb appeal. The upgrade pays for itself in avoided re-roofing costs.
