How to Use the Standard Wall Panelling Calculator
Our calculator simplifies the process of determining how many wall panels you'll need. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Select Panel Size: Choose from pre-configured sizes or select 'Custom Size' to enter your own dimensions.
- Input Wall Dimensions: Enter the width and height of the wall you wish to panel in millimetres.
- Account for Obstructions: Obstructions are areas like windows and doors where panelling isn't required. Click 'Add Obstruction' to enter their dimensions. The calculator will subtract these areas from thetotal wall area.
- Calculate: Once all measurements are entered, click 'Calculate'. The calculator works by dividing the totalwall area (minus any obstructions) by the area of one panel to determine how many panels are needed.
It’s important to consider the panel overlap and pattern matching, which might affect the total number of panels required. Always round up to the nearest whole number to ensure full coverage.
How to Measure Your Wall for Panelling
Detailed and accurate measurements are crucial for wall panelling. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Gather Tools: A tape measure is essential,and a stable ladder for higher walls.
- Start Points: For walls with skirting boards, measure from the top of the skirting to the ceiling. In bathrooms, measure from floor to ceiling if panelling around a shower or bath area.
- Wall Width and Height: Measure the width at both the top and bottom of the wall, and the height at both ends. Use the smaller measurements for areas with discrepancies to ensure a snug fit.
Pro tip: Some walls are uneven and can be taller on either end, they can also be wider on the tops and bottoms, discrepancies are common, so measure at multiple points for the most accurate results! - Obstructions: Measure the height and width of windows, doors, and any fixtures. Subtract their total area from the wall size to calculate the panelling required, or pop them into our calculator above.
- Multiple Walls: If panelling multiple walls, like in a compartmented bathroom, measure each wall separately as they may have different dimensions, even if they look the same!
- Record Accurately: Note down each measurement precisely. Recheck to avoid any errors.
- Calculate: Put all your measurements into our calculator above and find out how many panels you need!
These detailed steps will help you obtain accurate measurements for our wall panelling calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Calculate Wall Panelling?
Calculate wall panelling by measuring the height and width of your wall, subtracting the area of any obstructions like doors or windows, and dividing by the panel size. Use our Wall Paneling Calculator for precise calculations.
How to Calculate Square Wall Panelling?
For square wall panelling, measure the length and height of the wall in square units (like square meters), accounting for any obstructions. Then, divide this total square area by the area of one panel to estimate the number of panels needed.
How to Calculate 3D Wall Panels?
Calculating 3D wall panels involves measuring the wall's total area and dividing by the size of an individual panel. Consider panel patterns and overlaps for accurate estimation. Refer to specific product dimensions for precise calculations.
How Easy Is It to Panel a Wall?
