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.
