How to Calculate the Square Footage for a Flat or Dome HeatBlocker Do you want to calculate your square footage for a Type 1 custom HeatBlocker Skylight Shade?  Follow the directions below to calculate the square footage. You must know your square footage if you want to determine the price of each individual custom HeatBlocker. Square Footage = (A x B) / 144. Measure your skylight in inches.  Multilply measurement A (in inches) by measurement B (in inches). Divide the result by 144 (this will give you the square footage of the material required for your HeatBlocker skylight shade). Now that you have the square footage go to Product Prices to determine the price of your custom HeatBlocker.

Pyramid Skylight   Measure in inches the horizontal width of frame (A) from outside edges. Then measure from apex (top) of pyramid down to the top outside edge of skylight metal frame (B). Also, measure the vertical dimension of overhanging metal lip (C).   The price is determined by: (1) multiplying width (A) by height (B), then multiply this result by 2 for total sq.in. (2) dividing total sq.in. by 144 for conversion to sq.ft. (3) multiplying total sq.ft. by appropriate price/sq.ft. listed on the pricing page.  Orders must be placed using inches for length, width and lip. Square Footage  = (A x B x 2) / 144 Pyramid Price is 1.25 times the normal SF price due to number of seams.

Vaulted Trapazoid Measure in inches dimensions A,B,C,D,E & F as shown below.    The price is determined by: (1) calculating total sq.in. from the equation listed below (2) dividing total sq.in. by 144 for conversion to sq.ft. (3) multiplying total sq.ft. by appropriate price/sq.ft. from the pricing chart for price. Orders must be placed using inches for dimensions. Square Footage  = (A + E) x C + B x D / 144 Price is 1.5 times the normal SF price due to number of seams.

Barrel Vaulted Flat End   Measure in inches from top of barrel down to upper outside surface of skylight metal frame (D). Then measure horizontal width of barrel (B) from outside edges, and measure the overall length (A).   The price is determined by: (1) calculating total sq.in. from the equation(s) listed below (2) dividing total sq.in. by 144 for conversion to sq.ft. (3) multiplying total sq.ft. by appropriate price/sq.ft. from the pricing chart for price. Orders must be placed using inches for dimensions. Square Footage  = A x C + 0.4(BxB) / 144 includes end sections Square Footage  = A x C / 144      does not include end sections   When ends are requested price is 1.25 times the normal SF price due to number of seams.
