How many packs
should you order?

Start with the checked area and the coverage printed by your supplier. We will round the result up to whole packs.

The figures shown are examples. Check the coverage and allowance with your supplier. You can use a decimal point or comma, and your figures stay in this browser.

Your pack order

Enter your figures, then calculate.

How we work it out

Required coverage = net area × (1 + allowance ÷ 100). Divide that by the coverage per pack, then round up to a whole pack. For an area of 47 m², a 7% allowance and packs covering 8.5 m², you would order six packs covering 51 m².

Pack rounding is not the same as your allowance. Before ordering, check the product, pattern, contents of each pack and any separate border requirements. This calculator works out coverage, not whether the construction is suitable for the site.
