Area one roll can cover

Provides a basic estimate; always check roll specifications and allow for pattern matching.

Examples

  • Wall area 30 m² ÷ Roll coverage 5 m² ⇒ 6 rolls
  • Wall area 40 m² ÷ Roll coverage 4.5 m² ⇒ 8.9 rolls

FAQ

Should I include doors and windows?

Exclude areas you won't cover, but allow a little extra for trimming.
