How to calculate wallpaper rolls?
To know how to calculate how many wallpapers you need, you need to define several parameters. First, the width and length of the rolls. Secondly, the perimeter of the room. Today in the market of finishing materials there are two types of wallpaper: with a width of 1 meter and 53 centimeters. The length of the first is 25 meters, the second - 10 meters. If you take into account the typical ceiling height, on average, it is 2 m 50 cm. That is, a standard roll with a 10-meter length will be enough for about 3 lanes.
Next, we define the perimeter of the room, for this we add all its sides. The resulting amount is divided by 0.53( the width of one roll).Thus, we determine how many bands we need. This figure is divided by 3( since there are 3 strips on the roll).The resulting number is rounded, this is the necessary quantity.
To be clear, give an example. Your room has a length and width of walls - 5 and 6 meters. After the addition of all sides, the perimeter is 22 meters. The height of ceilings in your room is medium and is equal to 2.5 meters. If you buy standard rolls with a length of 10 and a width of 0.53 meters, then 22: 0.53: 3 = 13.84.We round this number to 14. The result: you need 14 rolls.
It is also worth knowing that the above calculation is done taking into account the fitting of the figure. And if you do not plan to combine images( monochrome wallpaper), you can do so: 22: 0.53: 4 = 10.4.That is, you need 11 rolls.
How to calculate the number of wallpapers: determine the formula
In summary, we can determine the general formula that applies absolutely for all types of wallpaper. Room perimeter: roll width: 3 or 4( with or without fit). The resulting digit is rounded up. You may have a question - how to be if the standard width is taken, for example, 1.06 meters.
The answer is simple - we follow the same formula. Calculate the number of wallpaper per room can be as follows: 22: 1.06: 3 = 6.9.This figure is rounded to 7. Also you may have a question - how about the space above the door and under the window? After all, it does not spend the full length of the wallpaper strip. In this case, you should know, if the calculation is carried out with the adjustment of the figure, then there will be balances from the rolls. They can be spent on this space.
For fans of more accurate figures you can do the following. First, the number of rolls per room is determined by the formula, without taking into account the given space( under the window and above the door).And then they add to them the right amount for these places. On this question, how to calculate the wallpaper as accurately as possible, must be exhausted.
A few words about choosing the type of wallpaper
In addition to the quantity, it is also important to choose the cloths of the corresponding material. So, what is good for the kitchen, will not always be suitable for the children's room. There are paper, vinyl, non-woven, bamboo, fabric, velor and other types. If you are selecting a covering for a bathroom, a toilet, a kitchen or a corridor, then you should buy a washable cover.
Such wallpaper should be thick enough( so as not to break from the mechanical effects).Suitable non-woven or vinyl.
In case you need to trim the walls of the living room, bedroom or children's room, it is better to choose natural coverings( paper, bamboo).However, there are some species that are made exclusively for decorative effect. In terms of operation, they are completely unprofitable( fabric, velor).
