How is it calculated?

The planner subtracts openings from wall area, estimates paint from coats/coverage, flooring with waste, and skirting from perimeter. Verify product packs before ordering.

Example

Example: See core quantities for a 5 × 4 m room in one result instead of four separate calculations.

WHAT CHANGES THE RESULT

Check these before using the estimate

Renovation estimates are most sensitive to measurements, product coverage and waste allowance. Before ordering, verify the result against the actual m²/L, m²/pack or unit coverage printed on the product.

  • Using net dimensions rather than mixing gross and net area
  • Waste from cuts, breakage and pattern alignment
  • Actual coverage stated on the product pack or datasheet
  • Surface condition, installation method and site tolerances
