How to measure a fluted panel?Accuracy is the most important
Fluted wall panels have timeless appeal and unique fluted shapes that provide great visual enjoyment to your home decor. Have you ever encountered such a problem? You want to add fashionable wall panel decoration elements to your space, but you don’t know how to measure or calculate. The following will help you solve this problem step by step.
Precautions:
1. The accuracy of measuring wall panels is the top priority. Only the accurate height and width can calculate the accurate number of wall panels. Believe me, accurate data is the basis for your subsequent calculations. Please don’t be careless. Make sure you take your time to ensure The data is accurate.
2. Measuring tools: A tape measure is essential, as is a stable ladder for taller walls.
3. Before measuring, please ensure that the wall surface you want to measure is complete and clean. Hanging paintings on the wall surface and furniture placed in front of the wall may cause inaccurate measurements.
4. Ensure the consistency of the measurement unit. If you measure the wall in cm, then measure the wall panel in cm. It is recommended that you use small units such as inch, cm or mm for calculation, because the width of the wall panel is really not that big. The wide, some time only 5-8 inches.
5. PRO TIP: Some walls are not flat ,may be taller at the ends and wider at the top and bottom, differences are common so please measure at multiple points for the most accurate results!
6. Record accurately: Write down each measurement accurately and recheck it to avoid any mistakes. It never hurts to double-check your work, especially when money is involved. If you get the wrong size and have to order more panels, it may take several weeks to arrive.
How to operate:
1. Measure the width and height of each wall.
Once you have the dimensions of the wall, you can find the total square footage of the wall by multiplying the height and width.
- If you want to install wall panels on multiple walls, please measure each wall individually. Even if the walls appear to be the same size to the naked eye, they may be different sizes.
- For the same wall, due to design and construction reasons, the width of the top and bottom of the wall and the height of the left and right ends must also be measured to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. Use smaller measurements for areas of discrepancy to ensure a snug fit.
- For walls with baseboards, measure from the top of the baseboard to the ceiling.
2. Measure the width and height of the wall panel
- As for the length of the wall panel, you can customize it according to your needs. For example, if your wall is 2.5 meters long, then we can work with you to cut the length of the wall panel to 2.5 meters. In this way, you only need to install it and no cutting is required. save time and energy.
- For the width of the wall panel, you can consult customer service for all ykzwallpanel products, and we will tell you the accurate data. Like grooved wall panels, each model has a different width. For example, the best-selling 16024 model, one wall panel covers The area is 0.464 square meters and one pack of wall panels covers 7.4 square meters. The width of the wood veneer or UV marble board is fixed, and the area is also fixed. For example, if you want a wall panel of 1.22 meters * 2.44 meters, then the area covered by a wall panel is 1.22 * 2.44 = 2.9768 square meters, or you If you want a 4*8 foot UV marble slab, then the area covered by one wall panel is 4*8=32 square feet. If you have any questions, you can also contact us for professional consultation and advice.
3. Consider Obstacles
Obstacles are areas where wall panels are not required, such as doors, windows, and distribution boxes. Measure the height and width of doors, windows and any fixtures. Calculate the number of wall panels needed by subtracting their total area from the wall dimensions.
4. Allow for waste area
Considering potential cutting or installation accidents, you need to make sure you leave enough space for cutting waste, we usually recommend 5%, but areas with more cuts may require more.
5. Determine the number of wall panels required.
Use the total area of the wall, minus the area of obstacles, divided by the area of each panel, plus the reserved waste area, and round up to determine how many panels are needed to complete the order.
For example
It’s time to get started. Let’s take a step-by-step example.
1. Wall area: length is 4.2 meters, width is 2.8 meters, 4.2*2.8=11.78 square meters
2. The area of the wall panel: the length is 2.9 meters, the width is 0.16 meters, 2.9*0.16=0.464 square meters
3. Obstacle area: window length 1.2 meters, width 1 meter, 1.2*1=1.2 square meters
4. Reserve waste: It is recommended to reserve 5% of the area to reduce waste.
5. Determine the number of wall panels: Calculation method: Number of wall panels = (wall area – obstacle area) / wall panel area * 1.05,
In this example, it is (11.78-1.2)/0.464*1.05=23.94 pieces, which is 24 pieces after rounding.
Pay special attention to accuracy when measuring wall panels. After measuring the area of the wall and wall panels and subtracting the area of obstacles, you can calculate the number of wall panels you need. Please be sure to carefully check the accuracy of your measurement data. I believe that after you After practicing it yourself, you will definitely be able to get a richly colored background wall, making it a beautiful selfie corner for you.
