This tool helps you calculate the exact length of gutter coil you need for your project.
How to use the Gutter Coil Calculator
To use this gutter coil calculator, you’ll need to provide the following inputs:
- Gutter Length: Enter the total length of the gutter in feet.
- Gutter Width: Enter the width of the gutter in inches.
- Coil Thickness: Enter the coil’s thickness in inches.
- Gutter Type: Select the type of gutter you are using from the dropdown menu.
Click the “Calculate” button to compute the total amount of gutter coil needed for your project.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses the following formula to compute the total coil needed:
- Total Coil Needed = Gutter Length * Gutter Width * Coil Thickness
Note that different gutter types might have different additional material usage, but for simplicity, this calculator treats all gutter types the same in terms of material requirements.
Limitations
This calculator assumes that the gutter measurements and coil thickness are accurate. It does not account for additional factors such as wastage, odd angles, or additional gutter components like end caps or corners.
Use Cases for This Calculator
Calculate Gutter Coil Length
Enter the number of gutters and their lengths to find the total length of coil required for installation. This feature ensures you purchase the exact amount of gutter coil without any wastage or shortage.
