How to Use the Wall Panel Calculator

This calculator helps determine exactly how many wall panels you need for your project. Follow these steps for accurate results:

1

Choose Your Panel Type

Select from our product database using 'Search Panels' or enter custom dimensions manually.

2

Measure Your Walls

Enter the height and width of each wall you want to panel. You can add multiple walls for larger projects.

3

Add Obstructions

Account for doors, windows, and other areas where panels won't be needed. This ensures accurate material calculations.

4

Get Your Results

The calculator provides the total number of panels needed, adhesive requirements, and estimated costs.

Tip: Always round up to the nearest whole number of panels and consider ordering 5-10% extra for cuts and future repairs.

How to Measure Your Walls For Panelling

Accurate measurements are essential for calculating the correct number of panels. Follow this guide for precise results:

Tools You'll Need

  • Tape measure (5m minimum recommended)
  • Pencil and paper for recording measurements
  • Ladder for high walls (if needed)
  • Spirit level for checking vertical alignment
1
Measure Wall Height Measure from floor to ceiling, or from skirting board to ceiling if keeping existing skirting.
2
Measure Wall Width Measure the full width of the wall from corner to corner, or between adjacent walls.
3
Measure Obstructions Record height and width of doors, windows, radiators, and built-in furniture that panels will go around.
4
Double-Check Measurements Measure twice to ensure accuracy. Older properties may have uneven walls, so check multiple points.

Important: For bathrooms and wet areas, measure carefully around fixtures and consider waterproof panel options for areas that may get splashed.
