How to calculate wall panel

Wall panels sold by the square foot. Enter wall area to get square feet.

Formula: quantity = area × 1 × (1 + waste %) = 100 × 1 × 1.10 = 110 sq ft.

Worked example

Example: 10 ft × 10 ft = 100 sq ft. Quantity: 110 sq ft, about $330 at $3 per sq ft.

Tips

Measure the full area, then subtract large openings if you want an exact count. Order a little extra for cuts and breakage, and confirm quantities with your supplier before you buy.
