Calculation tips

Knowing how many squares are in a roll of wallpaper, what its length and width are, you can calculate the amount of material required for purchase.

Measuring the perimeter of the room

Note! Four stripes - this is without combining the pattern. It's actually good if you get three!

Table to make calculations easier

Standard sizes

Knowing the size of the wallpaper, it will be possible to calculate the exact quantity for covering a particular room. At the same time, there are standard indicators, the width and length of which are the most common.

The fabrics are packaged in rolls that look like large tubes. The greater the thickness of the coating, the wider the diameter of the product. The generally accepted standards include the most popular sizes that are sold on any construction market.

Standard coating dimensions

Standard width canvases make up the main range. The width of such a roll is 0.53 m and the height is 10.05 m. There are also wide wallpapers for walls, their width is higher than usual and is 1.06 m.

Common wallpaper sizes

The large size range of wall coverings is explained by the variety of materials, textures, types, manufacturers, as well as countries of origin. An approximate list of standard values ​​for common types is as follows:

Interesting! In high demand, meter-long wallpaper for painting is found in rolls of 25 or even 50 m, and super-dense non-woven wallpaper, used as accent elements, is available in rolls of 5 m.

Note! The standard width of the canvas from British, Italian and some German manufacturers is 74 cm, so it’s worth double-checking the markings.

Classification of wallpaper and its sizes

The choice of a specific type of wallpaper depends on the location of its application and the financial capabilities of the buyer. Let's look at the main options:

• paper - single-layer or two-layer canvases having a smooth or corrugated front side with or without an image. Their relative advantage is their low cost. In fact, they deteriorate much faster because they are not sufficiently resistant to mechanical stress, moisture and light. It is difficult to glue such wallpaper evenly; they have to be changed frequently. Therefore, the savings when purchasing them are unjustified. The width of such products is most often 53 cm. There are also paper wallpapers that serve as a basis for painting. Their width can be 106 cm;
• vinyl - represented by foamed or heavy vinyl, silk-screen printing, flat vinyl, artificial leather. Available in sizes 53 and 106 cm. The bottom layer can be paper or non-woven. The top one – vinyl protects the walls from moisture and fungus;
• textile - duplex, the top layer of which is made of fabric - corduroy, felt, velor, and paper or fabric is used as the base;
• metal - made of thin sheet metal, which is glued to a paper base and then embossed. They are vapor-tight, so they are not suitable for surfaces that cannot absorb moisture;
• cork - consist of a paper base and a thin outer layer of natural cork. Such wallpaper is a breathable, environmentally friendly material. They are not electrified and do not magnetize dust.

Width

The most common wallpapers with the following width parameters:

1. 53 cm - they are usually called half-meter. Products of this size are available from any manufacturer and are considered the most traditional, popular and popular.
2. 106 cm – wide “meter” wallpaper. They greatly facilitate the gluing process and allow you to create a coating with a minimum number of seams. They usually have a non-woven base.
3. 70 cm is a popular size of European origin. As a rule, this width is found in imported products.

Length

With the length of the wallpaper the situation is even simpler. Here we can highlight one main standard and a couple of additional ones. Most often, the length of the roll is 10.05 m. However, in wallpaper for painting, the footage will be 15 m for 53 cm, and 25 m for 106 cm.

Square meters - area

To calculate how many squares there are in a roll, you need to multiply its width by the number of linear meters. As a result, we get the following results:

• with a roll width of 53 cm and a web length of 10.05 m, the area is approximately 5.3 m2;
• with the same width and length of 15 m, the footage will be equal to 7.95 m2;
• with a width of 106 and a length of 25 m - 25 m2.

Indicators in square meters

To purchase the required number of canvases, you need to know the area of ​​the room and the area of ​​the canvas. Knowing these facts will allow you to make calculations. The area of ​​the room is determined using special formulas. You can also calculate in a simpler way - find the area of ​​each wall by multiplying the height by the width and summing up all the results obtained. It is recommended not to subtract the area of ​​windows and doors from calculations, as spare materials may come in handy during gluing.

Information regarding the area of ​​one roll is specified in the relevant GOST. Let's note the existing options:

• 5.3 m2 for rolls with generally accepted parameters;
• 7.95 m2 for those that have half a meter wide wallpaper and a length of 15 m;
• 25 m2 for canvases with the highest indicators (1.06 m width and 25 m height).

Ceiling height plays an important role in the process of choosing the appropriate number of rolls. A ceiling whose height exceeds 2.5 m requires a large number of canvases, and the amount of residue after repair work will be quite large. The table below will allow you to make detailed calculations.

To obtain the value in m2, the length is multiplied by the width. For example, standard paper roll material has parameters of 50 (53) cm and 10 m. All indicators should be converted into meters, it turns out: 0.5 * 10 = 5 m2. That is, one roll is enough to cover 5 square meters.

To obtain accurate data, it is necessary to take into account the overall perimeter of the room and the height of the ceilings. Based on all available values, the required number of rolls of wallpaper is calculated.

Regardless of which options you use standard or meter wallpaper, you need to know how many meters there are in a roll. To do this, you need to perform some calculations; they will help determine the required volume for the walls of the room.

Since the sheet has a rectangular shape, the area of ​​the surface to be covered is calculated by multiplying the length and width:

1. If the dimensions are 10.05 m by 0.53 m, then the formula is 10.05 * 0.53 = 5.3 m2 - this is an indicator of the area.
2. With dimensions of 15 m and 0.53 m, it turns out - 15 * 0.53 = 7.95 m2 (area).
3. 25 m and 1 m gives an indicator of 25 m2 of total area.

Preliminary actions

Before you start calculating the length of the wallpaper, you need to know its width. It is very important to know that each country has its own standard sizes. When buying imported wallpaper, it would be a good idea to ask the manufacturers about the length.

As for ordinary wallpaper produced in Russia or the CIS, they have their own standard, which is most often written on the packaging with the roll. Most often, most wallpapers have a standard length.

Everyone knows that gluing wallpaper one meter wide is pure pleasure. They are wide, fit perfectly along the entire perimeter of the walls, and also have almost invisible joints. But it is worth considering that it will be very difficult to stick them on alone, since they are too wide for one person. In order for the work to be of high quality and the result to be successful, you need to hire someone as an assistant.

Gluing meter-long wallpaper (video)

Modern wallpaper comes in a myriad of colors, shades, patterns and textures. They are durable, can be washed and painted repeatedly, and can decorate your room for many years without needing to be refinished. Polymer wallpaper is safe for humans and can be easily applied even by one person. As a rule, the width of a roll of wallpaper is 53 or 106 centimeters; for imported wallpaper it is 70-75 centimeters. The roll length is standard and is a little more than 10 meters, in rare cases 25 meters. It will not be difficult to calculate how much wallpaper and glue will be needed to cover a room. All wallpapers are marked with special icons indicating the conditions of their use and gluing. Wide "professional" wallpaper is used for covering large rooms, and is usually not as widely available as regular wallpaper.

Table for calculating wallpaper around the perimeter of the room

(standard - 10.05x 0.52=5.2 m2)

Method No. 1

The calculation based on the area value is as follows:

If there is only a small window and a single-leaf door in the room, then their sizes are usually not taken into account in the calculations, leaving the expected surplus “as a reserve”. In the case of a non-standard layout (panoramic window, several or enlarged doorways), the difference can reach up to a whole roll, which means it makes sense to calculate the working surface area as accurately as possible.

The width of the wallpaper is 50 cm (0.50 m), the footage is 15 m.

Room height – 2.7 m, parameters – 4 × 2.8 m, window and door of standard sizes.

What are the sizes of wallpaper rolls?

In general, the dimensions of wallpaper are indicated on the label of each roll - this is a legal requirement.

Practice shows that the most optimal are two wallpaper widths:

• 53 centimeters;
• 106 centimeters.

The length of the roll is 10 meters plus some allowance of 5-10 centimeters, perhaps for sealing some small pieces of space such as holes for wiring or lamps.

Sometimes the width of the wallpaper may be different - 75 centimeters, but this is typical for foreign manufacturers

These sizes are optimal for gluing wallpaper alone; it has been established that a person can hold a 1-meter piece of wallpaper in his hands without strain, and a 53-centimeter piece is perfectly glued and smoothed so as to expel air bubbles. Wide meter-long wallpaper is usually made with a non-woven lining, which gives rigidity to such a sheet and allows it to be glued to the wall without air bubbles. On the other hand, such a wide sheet is somewhat awkward to hold, depending on how much strength a person has and the length of his arms and back. 1-meter wallpaper allows you to cover a room faster with fewer seams than 53-centimeter wallpaper.

The 10-meter length was chosen so that the roll was not too thick and heavy, and so that it would make 3 pieces for gluing walls to a height of just over 3 meters. There are professional rolls of wallpaper several tens of meters long, but you will no longer have to unwind them manually, but using a special mechanism.

Why do you need large size wallpaper: purpose

Large rooms such as exhibition or concert halls, or the inside of a barracks at a pioneer or military camp can also be finished with plaster and covered with wallpaper. The length of a roll of such wallpaper is 25 meters or more. To unroll and stick such wallpaper, several people are needed at the same time, so such wallpaper is unlikely to be suitable for an ordinary room - their thickness and weight are significantly greater than that of ordinary indoor wallpaper, and a rough and durable surface is inappropriate in a living room, where it will be clearly visible. visible The selection of such wallpapers is small, and you most likely will not be able to find them in the store. In addition, photo wallpapers can be more than 2 meters thick, since a complex image on them cannot be composed of several fragments, so that the joint is not visible.

Standard parameters

Wallpaper is packaged in rolls resembling thick-walled tubes. The standard parameters are the most popular dimensions for 1 roll. Such wallpaper is available in every hardware store.

Length

The usual and most popular is a ten-meter roll. Most manufacturers make rolls this length. But there are other options. For example, a length of 15 linear meters is used for narrow (50 cm) vinyl wallpaper. A length of 25 linear meters is used for meter-long non-woven wallpaper.

Such long rolls are used for covering large rooms and halls.

They are rarely used in residential areas due to their length or weight, because such a roll is five times heavier than a standard one.

Width

Based on the width of the wallpaper, there are three most common sizes:

• 50 cm;
• 70 cm;
• 106 cm.

Often the width varies depending on the country of origin. For example, a width of 70 cm came to Russia from European countries ( Germany, France and Holland ). Since foreign building materials are considered to be of high quality, wallpaper from these three countries began to quickly gain popularity. Such wallpapers are often used for horizontal gluing and creating a unique interior. Their price is much higher than domestic ones, but this does not bother many.

In Russia, the standard sizes are 1 m and 0.5 m. The width of 50 cm is the most popular. The convenience of this width is that a person alone can cover the entire room, since the roll is often very light. They are also easy to smooth out.

A wide wallpaper format is gaining popularity - 106 cm. Such wallpapers are often more expensive than narrow counterparts, but their main advantage is that the decorative layer is applied not to paper, but to a non-woven base. This base gives the canvas rigidity and adheres without bubbles.

This width allows you to cover the room almost seamlessly. But such wallpaper is difficult to glue alone because of its weight.

Weight

When calculating the weight of the material, it is important to know that wallpaper comes in several types of density:

• The lungs have a density of 40 grams per square meter. A standard narrow roll will weigh about 500g;
• Non-woven wallpaper can support its weight and has a density twice as high as its lightweight counterparts - a roll weighs a kilogram;
• Multilayer vinyl wallpaper has such a density that it is very difficult to tear it - 130 grams per square meter. The roll weight exceeds 1.5 kg.

What is the weight of a roll of wallpaper 1 meter wide

In principle, paper with non-woven fabric weighs little, and the cost of delivery is affected not by the weight, but by the size of the rolls.

If this is important, then wallpaper comes in three grades of different densities:

• The simplest and cheapest wallpaper on simple, easily torn paper is 40 grams per square meter, so that a 10-meter roll weighs less than half a kilo;
• Wallpaper on durable paper or vinyl that can easily withstand its own weight - 80 grams per square meter, so that a 10-meter roll weighs about a kilogram;
• Multi-layer vinyl and non-woven wallpaper, such that it cannot be torn even by force - 120 grams per square meter, so that a 10-meter roll weighs about one and a half kilograms;

In general, the weight of wallpaper depends on the humidity and density of the substrate. In any case, the material of the wallpaper allows it to withstand its own weight with a piece length of 3-4 meters, and even smeared with glue

How many meters in one roll of wallpaper

Unlike the width of the wallpaper, the length is always the same in the standard version. Of course, there are two additional length options, but such panels are used only in certain cases, which will be discussed below. Thus, the length is:

• 10.05 m is the standard height; finding trellises of this size will not be difficult.
• 15 m is an additional option, which is usually used for vinyl-based panels. Very often, such trellises are produced with a pattern, or are made in a special way for further painting.
• 25 m is another non-traditional option, which can usually be found in non-woven canvases made specifically for painting.

Trellis dimensions

Strip length

The key parameters to take into account when purchasing are:

The weight of the products can also be important, especially if you plan the purchase ahead of time and want to calculate the exact weight for transportation: do you need to hire a car, or can you handle the task yourself?

The answer to the question of how many meters there are in one roll of wallpaper depends on the specific model:

The length standard for materials from domestic and foreign manufacturers is 10.05 m. GOSTs and other regulatory documents allow a deviation from this length of no more than 3% up or down.

Note! When making your own calculations, the instructions recommend starting from the figure of 10 m, since this way we guarantee that there will definitely be enough material

If you don’t need to join, then you can safely take 20-25m pieces

Width and area

As we noted above, to determine how many square meters there are in a roll of wallpaper, you need to know its width:

Extended width cover

Note! In fact, the dimensions of the canvas are 1.06 m, so in some cases this small addition can seriously help out!

In addition to domestic ones, European varieties are also presented on the market (Italy, Germany, Belgium, etc.). They are characterized by material widths of 70, 75, 90 and 140 cm.

The answer to the question of how many m2 is in a roll of wallpaper can be easily found by calculation. To make your calculations easier, we provide a table below that will help you quickly find the desired value.

Note! The data in the table is given subject to rounding. Wallpaper area, m2:

Naturally, information about how many square meters in a roll of wallpaper should be considered solely as indicative. You can operate with it only if you do not plan to join the drawings, i.e. By definition, you will have no waste.

Roll weight

Finally, it is worth paying attention to such a parameter as the mass of the trellis. It directly depends on both the dimensions and the density of the material.

Based on density, finishing coatings are divided into:

Dense two-layer products (pictured) weigh much more than single-layer ones

Accordingly, you can find out how much a roll of wallpaper weighs by simply multiplying the area of ​​the material (it is indicated above) by its density.

Knowing the mass of a unit of goods and determining the required quantity, we can easily decide whether to carry it all in our hands or take a taxi.

Note! Also, knowledge of the mass of finishing will be important when designing load-bearing structures of buildings, but this task is beyond our competence. And the safety margin is usually built to be substantial, so an extra two or three kilograms per room definitely won’t make a difference!

Definition of markings on a roll

Before starting the process of selecting the necessary trellises, each person should familiarize themselves with the decoding of the symbols on the packages. This will allow you to find out the properties of the wallpaper you are purchasing and not become hostage to unpleasant consequences. A description of the symbols is presented in the image below.

Wallpaper is an integral part of the interior of a room, which is why many people approach the issue of choosing the right option for their home with such trepidation. Manufacturers are also not standing still and are expanding their sales range every year in order to attract the attention of more buyers. It is worth noting that distributors do not always meet customers halfway and share reliable information with them. You can also understand them: the more they sell, the more money they will earn. Therefore, you can only rely on your own knowledge. Using the information presented in this article, each buyer will be aware of the issue of choosing a suitable roll of wallpaper and will be able to calmly make the necessary calculations, calculating the cost of repairs.

What to consider when choosing?

Before choosing, calculate the area of ​​the room and decide how many sheets you will need

When making calculations, do not pay attention to windows and doors, this will provide the necessary supply of wallpaper. When viewing rolls of different lengths, immediately calculate how many strips you will get from one roll

Make sure you have enough material. Experienced experts advise buying two rolls more than what was calculated. Such a reserve will give you the opportunity to carry out work much more boldly. Moreover, be sure to take into account that some types of wallpaper must be glued overlapping. When purchasing wallpaper, be sure to pay attention to the markings on the rolls. This way you will choose the best option for the microclimate of the room. You will also learn the features of caring for canvases.

Advantages of calculating wallpaper using an online calculator

The total number of wallpapers can be calculated using the table below, but these will be approximate data.

If you need to know exactly how much wallpaper you need to hang on the walls of your bedroom, kitchen, or rooms, the calculators listed below will help you find out the quantity. We have put together the most convenient selection that will be able to determine how many rolls you will need to buy. Calculators take into account many factors, such as pattern repetition, doors and windows in the wall, wallpaper overlap, wall differences, and more.

Types and characteristics of wallpaper

Since its invention, wallpaper has never lost its relevance, but thanks to technological progress, which is advancing by leaps and bounds, today there is a large selection of wallpaper varieties on sale, differing both visually and in characteristics.

Paper wallpaper

The most common and accessible category is reasonable cost, combined with attractiveness and good consumer properties. These natural wallpapers are permeable and environmentally friendly, since no harmful dyes are used in production, and the proportion of chemicals in the composition is minimal. However, the service life of ordinary paper wallpaper is the shortest - after about five years they will simply lose their appearance, even if the coating remains intact. They produce several types of paper wallpaper:

One of the most important criteria for paper wallpaper is density - the weight of the canvas depends on it, how much it will hide the unevenness of the base, and how difficult it will be to work with it. The density of light wallpaper is 110 g/m², medium – 110-140 g/m², heavy – from 140 g/m². Medium wallpaper is considered the optimal option in all respects - it is easier to work with, it is quite elastic and has good hiding power. This is a term used for paint, but can be used in this case, since average wallpaper, like good paint, will perfectly mask unevenness and defects in the wall.

Non-woven wallpaper

Nonwoven fabric is a non-woven fabric resembling paper, formed from cellulose fibers, sometimes it is possible to add polyester fibers to the mass. The main advantage of non-woven fabric, like that of paper, is permeability; the canvas allows air to pass through perfectly, but only if the wallpaper is completely non-woven, both the base and the decorative layer. Like paper, non-woven wallpaper can be smooth, textured, with an embossed or three-dimensional pattern. In addition, they produce decorative and basic ones - for subsequent painting. It is easier to work with non-woven wallpaper, since it does not swell with water, when glue gets on the front side, the pattern does not smear, and when smoothing, it is quite difficult to damage the canvas. Another important property is that even a smooth canvas, due to its dense base, will hide unevenness, of course, within acceptable limits.

Vinyl wallpapers

In fact, only the decorative layer is vinyl, while the base of such wallpaper is either paper or non-woven. However, there is no need to talk about the permeability of vinyl-coated fabric, since it is, although thin, up to one millimeter, a solid PVC film. If we are talking about a textured coating with a three-dimensional pattern, then the thickness is much higher. The main advantage of vinyl wallpaper is durability - they can be washed with a wet cloth, even with a brush, they are difficult to scratch by pets and the younger generation. They are preferred to be glued in damp rooms, in kitchens and corridors - where wear resistance and the ability to do general cleaning are needed.

As for working with vinyl, there are no particular difficulties, but if the walls are full of differences, you will have to work hard, since the dry sheet is applied to the base coated with glue.

Acrylic wallpaper

A new product, which is a paper base on which a layer of polymer is applied, which is typical - dotted, due to which permeability is maintained and strength and moisture resistance are significantly increased. Due to the production method, acrylic wallpapers are always embossed and well mask small imperfections in the walls; they are lighter than vinyl and do not require ultra-resistant thick glue. Unlike vinyl, acrylic wallpaper can be used in residential areas, but should not be used in the bathroom, kitchen, hallway or summer house. They are not designed for high humidity, high traffic and condensation that occurs in unheated rooms. However, they are stronger and more durable than paper ones, and they are often visually superior.

Textile wallpaper

Again, on a paper or non-woven basis, but decorative, the top layer is fabric - linen, cotton, jute, polyester, silk and others. Depending on the characteristics of the fabric, the canvas is smooth or embossed, with a plain pattern or colored patterns that shimmer in the light. These wallpapers are also breathable, look very attractive, but are also much more expensive than all previous varieties. At the same time, the coating is demanding in terms of operating conditions - no high humidity, bright light or wet cleaning.

Glass wallpaper

A special type of finish, produced only in the main category, is a white canvas designed for painting. This is a non-woven fabric formed from the finest glass fiber. Depending on the scope of application, it can be smooth (for ceilings) or embossed (for walls). Cobweb, also called glass wallpaper without a pattern, is sometimes used as a base before gluing other wallpaper and even applying plaster.

The material has good permeability, but it may decrease if you use paint that does not have this property, so when choosing, you need to pay attention to this factor. Considering that the canvas can withstand repeated repainting, this is an excellent option for those who like to regularly transform the room.

Liquid wallpaper

In fact, this is one of the types of decorative plaster - the dry mixture is mixed with liquid, swells, and the paste-like mass is applied to the walls with a spatula or a special trowel. But since the material is made from cellulose and textile fibers, with various additives, the coating is classified as wallpaper. After application, a seamless, repairable canvas is formed on the wall - if damaged, any section can be replaced without creating boundaries between zones. At the same time, the main advantage is preserved - the walls remain permeable, which is why liquid wallpaper is allowed in both bedrooms and children's rooms. But they are still afraid of humidity, so you shouldn’t experiment in the bathroom and kitchen. But in the hallway - why not try it, you just need to leave the bag for repairs. As for hiding power, this variety will hide unevenness and defects, but the base must be properly prepared. To prevent stains of different colors from appearing on a dry wall, not only a regular colorless primer for walls is used under the mass, but also a special, tinted one. Or, as a budget option, pre-paint the walls with water-based emulsion to match the color of the wallpaper.
