How to calculate the square meters of a wall for wallpapering

How to calculate square meters? Probably, there is no more complicated and at the same time simple question for repair. Infinite calculations, calculations lead people out of themselves. How many families collapsed after starting repairs? It is not known, but it was not completely without divorce.

There is a very simple way how to calculate wallpaper per room, or rather their required number. It is necessary to imagine the walls in the form of a sweep, and even better to draw them. Measure each wall: height and length. It is better to do this more than once and in several places. As you know, in most apartments it is impossible to find at least one right angle. Having measured the wall, it is necessary to take as its values the largest figures obtained. If the wall is a rectangle or almost a rectangle, then the way how to calculate the square meters that make up its area is simple: you need to multiply the length and height of the wall. Adding the area of all the walls in the room, we get the necessary number of wallpapers. But the calculations are not over yet.

Before calculating the square meters that need to be covered with wallpaper, it is necessary to decide whether the wallpaper will be glued butt or overlap, in calculating these values, too, will need to be taken into account. Rolls of wallpaper have a certain length and Width, and glued, as a rule, vertically, although options are possible. In this case, it is not recommended to glue the wallpaper so that the middle of the panel fell on the corner, it is better to paste 2 overlaps. In general, the task is not trivial, in the lessons of geometry to such did not prepare. In addition, you need to take into account that the door and windows do not need to be covered with wallpaper, but the space above and below them is yes. In general, the question of how to calculate the square meters of the wall is not very relevant, but the dimensions of the walls can not be avoided anyway.

The standard width of the wallpaper roll is 53 centimeters. The length is 10 meters. Take the For example, a room with walls 5.5 at 8.3 meters, the ceiling width - 2.6 meters. Plus the space above the door is 60 centimeters, and above and below the window is 1 meter. The width of the door takes away from the smaller walls 1 meter, and the window - 2 meters. That is, the width of the walls remains the same: 2 walls - 8.3 meters, 1 wall - 4.5 meters and the last wall - 3.5 meters. And do not forget about the pieces near the door and the window.

The height of the ceiling is 2.6 meters, which means that almost 4 cloths will be obtained from each roll, not enough 16 centimeters, that is, 4 centimeters for each piece of wallpaper. A small detail - the wallpaper is not glued to the floor and ceiling, remains
A small gap, so you can fully say that with each roll, it will be quite 4 pieces from floor to ceiling. On the 8.3 meter long wall, you need 8.3 * 0.53 = 4.4 pieces, that is, 4 and a half, half will just be at the corners, so you will need to glue the first piece,
Angle. On both walls, thus, 9 stripes of wallpaper. Remained 2 of the most difficult walls. Without taking into account additional pieces on the wall 4.5 meters - 4.5 * 0.53 = 2.4 cloth, 3.5 meters on the wall - 3.5 * 0.53 = 1.9. For the whole room - 2,4 + 1,9 + 9 = 13,56, which will be more than 3, but less than 4 rolls. Do not forget about the space above the window and under it, and also above the door. In general, 4 rolls just enough, and much should not be left.

Calculate the cost of repair so as to do everything qualitatively, but not to breach the budget - the greatest art. But the cases when the wallpaper is missing a bit, too, are not uncommon, so all calculations need to be done very carefully.
