Formula

For r = 0, cut length is c = h+t; for r > 0, use c = r ceil((h+t)/r). Rolls are N = ceil[ceil(P/w)/floor(L/c)]. h is wall height, t is trim, r is pattern repeat, P is wall perimeter, w is roll width, and L is roll length, all in m. ceil rounds up and floor rounds down.

Calculate full-height strips with repeat-pattern matching.

Scope and limitations

Planning estimate from your measurements and assumptions. Confirm dimensions, product coverage and local installation requirements before buying.

Inputs are checked for missing values and allowed ranges. A result outside the finite numeric range is not displayed. Rounding affects display, while the calculation uses the model’s numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before relying on a result. Changing a label does not convert a currency or physical unit.
