Borders Borders are packaged in easy to handle spools. Simply measure the distance around the room, divide by 15 and round up to the next whole number to find the number of spools needed. This method allows for pattern repeat as well as other possible waste factors.
EXAMPLE For a room measuring 12 feet by 14 feet: Add the length around the room (12 + 14 + 12 + 14 = 52 ft) Divide by 15 (52 / 15 = 3 7/15 spools) Round up to next whole number (4 spools needed)
Wallpaper Papers are packaged in double rolls ( 60 sq. ft.) for your convenience. Find the square footage of the area to be covered. Measure length times height and divide by 60 to find the number of double rolls needed. This method allows for pattern repeat as well as waste.
EXAMPLE For a room measuring 12 feet by 14 feet: Add the length around the room (52 ft) and multiply by the height (for example 8 ft) of the walls (52 x 8 = 416 sq ft). Divide by 60 ( 416 / 60 = 6.9 double rolls) Round up to the next double roll (7 double rolls needed) |
