What is Bundle?
Roofing Glossary · Installation
Definition
The standard packaging unit for asphalt shingles. Most architectural and 3-tab shingles are packaged three bundles to the square (100 sqft), though some heavier products require four bundles per square. Bundles typically weigh 60-80 lbs. When estimating materials, contractors add a waste factor on top of the calculated number of squares to account for cuts and starter strips.
