Estimates — add extra for waste and confirm with your supplier.

How it works

We work out how many full-height strips you need across the walls, how many strips each roll yields (allowing for pattern repeat), then round up to whole rolls plus waste.

Large pattern repeats waste more — they reduce usable strips per roll.

FAQs

Why does pattern repeat matter?

Matching the pattern wastes some length on each strip.

How much waste?

10–15% typical; more for big repeats or many windows.

Should I round up?

Always — and buy from the same batch for color match.

Is it exact?

No — an estimate; measure carefully on-site.
