Each owner, when it comes time to do repairs in an apartment, thinks about not only what coloring of the wallpaper to choose, but how many rolls to buy. Let's not talk about wallpaper liquid or decorative plaster. Information on their consumption per 1 m2 is indicated on the package with these dry mixtures. Let's talk about the wallpaper, which are sold rolls, and find out how to calculate wallpaper on the room.
What you need to know when buying wallpapers
Wallpaper you should buy only one lot number. If you repair the apartment it turns out that the wallpaper is not enough, then buy exactly the same will be problematic. Even seemingly the same wallpaper, but from different parties, will have some differences, because when printing different parties will be, although small, but noticeable variations in the hue. If you can not notice this in the store, then after the sticker on the wall such a difference will catch your eye.
Calculating wallpaper
To calculate the number of rolls required, you need to divide the sum of the length and width of the room( multiplied by 2) by the width of the roll selected for purchase. Rounding, naturally, in the big party.
If there are niches, alcoves, etc. in the room, then the number of rolls should be increased based on the geometry of the indicated places. It should also be taken into account that when overlapping the corners of the room, the wallpaper is overlapped. And this is an additional "footage".
table for calculating the number of rolls of wallpaper
Attention is drawn to the edge of the wallpaper, its width. After all, when preparing the bands, it will have to be cut off, and this is the "minus" to the width of the strip.
In any case, you should consider the size of the room. If for a small or medium-sized room is enough and one - two rolls "in reserve", then for a large, perhaps it is better to take three to four. It is also recommended to make a larger stock if you select wallpaper with a large pattern. After all, in this case, when the neighboring bands are aligned, the shifts can be significant.
Replacement rolls( rolls) will be needed in any case, so you should not save much, counting all to a millimeter. After all, most likely, somewhere in time will have to paste a new slice in return for the spoiled. Do not forget that some of the wallpaper will go to the design of doorways, places under the windowsill, etc.
