| 4 Easy Steps To An Accurate Estimate |
|
1. Measure the entire distance in feet around the room. (2 x length + 2 x width)
2. Multiply this by the height of the walls in feet.
3. This gives you the total square feet of wall area to be covered.
4. Divide this number by the number of square feet in a roll of the wall covering pattern you have chosen.
This gives you the number of rolls to order.
Note: By not deducting for windows, doors or other non covered spaces, you will be sure to order enough wall covering to complete the room the first time. This will avoid the possibility of reordering later from a different production run where colors may not match exactly. |
