Free Roofing Squares Converter Widget
The embedded Roofing Squares Converter takes a flat footprint (or a known number of roofing squares) plus a roof pitch, applies the real pitch-multiplier math to get actual sloped area, and estimates the shingle bundles a job needs. It's a fit for roofing contractors, shingle and building-material suppliers, and home-improvement estimate guides.
One iframe and a single credit line, no sign-up step — no injected ad, no analytics call, no cookie set on your visitor.
Live preview
This snippet is generated straight from this page. If you'd rather step through the width/preview options interactively first, the embed builder does the same thing across all four converters.
Credit line included
Below the iframe, the snippet adds one small line, “Roofing Squares Converter by ConstructionConverter”, pointing to the full converter. Leaving it in is the one thing that helps keep this free.
Where the Roofing Squares Converter widget fits
- A roofing contractor's "get an estimate" or project-planning page
- A shingle or roofing-material supplier's ordering page
- A "how much does a new roof cost" reference article
How to add it to your site
- Plain HTML: paste the snippet where you want the converter to appear.
- WordPress: add a "Custom HTML" block and paste the snippet in — avoid the "Paragraph" block, it strips iframes.
- Squarespace / Wix / Webflow: add an "Embed" or "Custom Code" / "HTML" element and paste the snippet.
- The second line (
embed.js) is optional — it auto-sizes the frame height. You only need it once per page even with several converters.
Sizing & responsiveness
Set the width to 100% to fill its column, or a fixed pixel value for a sidebar. Height takes care of itself when embed.js is present — the frame grows and shrinks as the converter updates. Skip that script and the frame just holds a fixed 850px; the tool still works, it just gets a scrollbar on narrow screens if the content runs long.
Questions from site owners
Is this actually free to embed?
Yes — no account, no API key, and no usage cap. Apart from the converter, the embed code adds a single credit line that links back to it, and leaving that line in is the only thing asked.
Does it slow my page down or add tracking?
No. It runs in a single iframe, so it can't block the rest of your page from loading, and it ships no ad or analytics scripts of its own onto your site. The optional resizer script is a few KB and loads asynchronously.
Does it actually account for roof pitch?
Yes — it computes a real pitch multiplier from the rise-per-12-inches value entered, rather than treating flat footprint and actual roof area as the same number.
Does it estimate shingle bundles too?
Yes — using a standard 3-bundles-per-square figure plus a waste allowance, shown alongside the square-footage conversion.
Can I set a fixed width instead of responsive?
Yes — choose responsive or a fixed pixel width when you copy the snippet, with height handled automatically.
Trying to run a conversion yourself rather than embed one? The full Roofing Squares Converter page has the same tool plus the underlying formula and a worked example. There's also the full list of embeddable converters if this isn't the one you need.
