GAUGE & ROOF PITCH

The lap or gauge as the Americans refer to it, is primarily determined by roof pitch and wind. The gauge is imprinted on the top surface of each slate for ease of application.

There are 4 options - 6, 6.5, 7 & 7.5 inches (the US use imperial measurements) that relate to roof pitch and thus the number of slates required to cover a square metre.
