Inputs and units
Use the units shown beside each field. Replace the sample values with your measurements and the figures on the selected product packaging.
| Parameter | Example input |
|---|---|
| Length | 5 m |
| Width | 4 m |
| Roll width | 4 m |
| Waste allowance | 5 % |
Formula and assumptions
Cut lengthsceil(Width / Roll width)
Linear lengthCut lengths × Length × (1 + Waste allowance / 100)
ceil = round up; floor = round down; max = the greater value. Trigonometric angles are converted from degrees to radians.
Allowance is applied before rounding to whole packages. Whole units are rounded up; displayed decimals are rounded only for readability.
Coverage depends on the product, substrate and installation method. Enter the supplier’s consumption figures; an area estimate cannot replace a cutting layout.
Worked example
Sample values are examples, not product specifications. Run the calculation again with your own measurements.
| Result | Calculation |
|---|---|
| Area | 20 m² |
| Cut lengths | 1 |
| Linear length | 5.25 m |
