How To Measure Wallpaper And Carpet

Measuring Wallpaper and Carpets.

For wallpaper , we need the square meter of the wall to be covered. First measure the distance around the room or distance of the wall you want to cover. Then measure the height of the wall ceiling.

For example if the distance you want to cover is 12 meter (for 3 mt x 3mt room), and the height ceiling 2.6 meter, then wall square meter is 12x2.6= 31.20 M2.

Next we wanna know how many roll of wallpaper needed. It is simply divided the wall square meter, with the wallpaper square meter.

Standard wallpaper size is 0.50 meter x 10 meter. it can cover 5 M2 wall. We may also need to deduct 10% from the wallpaper, for pattern matching, so due to pattern cut allowance, the wallpaper can cover only 4.5 M2 wall now.

From the example given 31.20 M2 wall, we use how many roll? (standard size wallpaper 0.50mtx10mt)

31.20 m2 : 4.50 m2 = 7 Roll (always round it up)

For Carpet, we need the square meter of the floor to be covered. If we have the floor plan, just look at the diagram, to get the square meter of the floor. (see the below example). and Add 10% to the total. This makes allowances for seams and other extra carpet needed to complete the job.

To calculate how many rolls you require measure around the walls of the room and divide this total by either 21″ or 535mm, this figure will tell you how many drops of paper you need, then if you can get three lengths from each roll divide the number of drops by three to find out how many rolls you require.
