  2. Multiply the length of each decoration element by its height;
  3. Divide the number obtained in paragraph 1 by the number of 2 points.

When dividing walls, using different types of finishes, such a calculation must be carried out for each species. If there is a brickwork with displacement, then for work it is better to use a special program. Counting can be done both in meters and in centimeters. Calculation of the amount of flooring is carried out by dividing the floor area by the area of ​​one plate. With straight laying, you should add 5% to the received number, and for non-standard packing (offset, diagonal) - 10%. Such a safety net will help you to get enough materials.
