How many meters in one roll of wallpaper? The dimensions of length and width

Wallpaper - One of the most popular materials for the walls in the living areas. When used properly they can create at the same time stylish and cozy space. At first glance, wallpapered walls - simple. And indeed, it does not require special education and training. However, no specific knowledge is still not enough. Otherwise, during installation may appear unexpected surprises. And above all, you need to decide which wallpaper and how many optimal fit for your particular room. To answer these questions it is necessary to deal with varieties of material, calculate - how much area can be covered using a single roll. Needed parameters such as width, of the finished fabric length and dimensions of the room. Knowing exactly how many meters in a roll of wallpaper, it will be possible to determine the required amount of material.

Classification wallpaper and their sizes

The choice of a particular type of wallpaper depends on the place of application and on the financial capabilities of the buyer. Consider the basic options:

• Paper - single layer or two-layer fabric having a smooth or a corrugated face side with the picture or not. Their relative advantage - low cost. In fact, they are much more easily damaged because not enough resistant to mechanical stress, the influence of moisture, and light. These wallpapers are difficult to glue smoothly, they have to be changed frequently. Therefore, the savings when they purchase unjustified. The width of these products usually is 53 cm. There are also paper wallpaper, which serve as a basis for painting. Their width may be 106 cm;
• Vinyl - presented foam or heavy vinyl, silk-screen printing, the flat-vinyl imitation leather. Produced in sizes 53 and 106 cm. The lower layer may be paper or vlies. Top - Vinyl protects walls from moisture and the emergence of the fungus;
• Textile - duplex, the topsheet is made of a fabric - velvet, felt, velours, and is taken as a base paper or cloth;
• metal - are made of thin sheet metal which is glued to a paper substrate, and then is embossed. Have vapor permeability, so it is not suitable for surfaces that are not capable to absorb moisture;
• Cork - consists of a paper base and a very thin face layer of natural cork. Such wallpapers are breathable environmentally friendly material. They are not electrified and not primagnichivayut dust.

Width

Most often there are wallpaper with the following parameters width:

1. 53 cm - they are called polumetrovymi. Products of this size is in the range of any manufacturer, it is considered the most traditional, popular and running.
2. 106 cm - wide "meter" wallpaper. They greatly facilitate the process of gluing and allow you to create a coating with a minimum of seams. Usually they have a non-woven backing.
3. 70 cm - the size of the popular European origin. Typically, this occurs in the width of the imported products.

Length

With a length of wallpaper is the case even easier. Here you can select one basic standard and a couple more. In most cases, the roll length is 10,05 m Nevertheless wallpaper for painting footage by 53 cm is 15 m, and 106 cm. - 25 m.

Square meters - Square

To calculate how many squares on a roll, is to multiply the width by the number of linear meters. As a result, we obtain the following results:

• when the roll width 53 cm and length of the web - 10,05 m area of ​​approximately 5.3 m2;
• with the same width and length of 15 m - footage will equal 7.95 m2;
• with a width of 106 m and a length of 25 - 25 m2.

Designation on a roll

As a rule, when choosing wallpaper focus on their obvious characteristics - color, print, texture, material of manufacture. Appearance finishing plays a leading role, as it influences the design of the room. In addition, there is an impressive list of equally important parameters that must also be considered. In order to designate certain characteristics, manufacturers use a special marking. Understand these icons a snap. With their help indicate:

• Wallpaper resistance to ultraviolet radiation, moisture, detergents;
• a method of applying adhesive - on a wall or on the web;
• the location of the wallpaper on the wall, the way connections and paintings fit the pattern;
• ability of the material to dismantle;
• Additional information on the merits of the wall covering.

lightfastness

UV resistance - the main parameter to be taken into account occupant of the room, located on the sunny side. For its designation using an icon in the form of the sun. Prolonged exposure to bright rays will inevitably lead to the fading of colors, appearance of yellowness. Therefore, the wallpaper for that room must have the maximum degree of light fastness. For rooms where the sun is not a frequent visitor, suitable finish with less pronounced light shielding properties. There are several levels, each of which corresponds to the degree of resistance to fading wallpaper:

• moderate - half of the sun - finish, recommended for dark rooms, quickly fade, lose their original colors;
• Relative - wallpaper partially resistant to UV radiation, intended for use in the rooms on the north side;
• lightfast - finish suitable for use on the sunny side;
• very high level of lightfastness - paint for a long time remain bright with prolonged exposure to light;
• high maximum degree of shading - color remain intact throughout the period of use, despite the prolonged influence of the sun.

Do you want to paint on the wallpaper is not burned shortly after repair? Choose the type of material that will fit the characteristics of the premises.

Humidity resistance

Resistance to moisture - not least the quality of finishing webs wall. To indicate the degree of water resistance uses icons depicting waves. The more, the higher level of protection. If in addition to the wave picture includes a brush - wallpaper can not only wash, but clean. It is important to understand how the material will behave during contact with the glue, water. If protection is not possible, be prepared for excessive soaking during installation. Handle such wallpaper is necessary to very carefully. There is always a danger of damaging the surface layer of material to spoil its appearance. Such a finish - superbyudzhetny option. But its inability to tolerate exposure to moisture can result in the above-plan expenditure for recovery of individual sections cover or a complete replacement.

To apply these wallpapers can only be in a dry place. The kitchen and bath room are completely irrelevant. This requires thorough protection, which will make it possible to conduct wet processing, using detergents and cleaning products.

Wallpaper to serve you faithfully for many years, you need to:

• select them according to the degree of humidity of the repaired premises;
• make care for coating in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

way to glueing

Different kinds of wallpapers require a special, individual approach to the process of gluing. There are various techniques of installation of paintings, which also have their own markings. Before applying the adhesive, make sure that you choose the correct technique to fix the coating. There are several ways of gluing material on the walls:

• wallpaper remains dry and the glue is distributed evenly on the pasted surface. Composition should be applied on the wall portion corresponding to the dimensions strip. Immediately to handle large area is meaningless - as long as you stick one sheet, the remaining portions will have time to dry.

Will have promazyvat wall again, wasted wasting material;

• adhesive is applied to only the wallpaper. If you are dealing with unprimed walls, and the adhesion is not high enough, it is necessary to miss the mark, not only strip, but also the surface of the wall;
• Finish by using self-adhesive wallpaper. In order to fix the coating on the wall, it is enough to wet with a damp sponge or cloth;
• installation with a special adhesive.

fit picture

There is no difficulty to paste plain wallpaper or with no clearly defined pattern. Fabrics are joined at random, thus avoiding unnecessary expenditure of material. It is quite another thing - dock strip with a pattern so that the individual elements merged into a single composition. Variegated height of the walls in the apartments does not allow mass-produce such a wallpaper that do not need to be customized. Therefore, in order to pattern coincided, it is necessary to cut off a certain portion of each new strip. Manufacturers care about consumers and mark that shows the step of drawing and the height to which it is necessary to displace each canvas. There are various ways of joining materials:

• without docking - paintings arranged in a row without registration patterns - important for smooth and plain textured wallpaper;
• flush - a pattern element is aligned at the same height with the adjacent;
• with a stepped offset - pattern is shifted by half the height of the adjacent - on the label says a number indicating the height of the rapport.

There is so-called invisible docking method in which wallpaper sheets should overlap by 40-60 mm, and then cut off the excess with a knife.

Resistance to cleaning and washing

Wallpapers differently tolerate exposure to detergents and cleaning accessories. The following types of material on the degree of resistance to washing and cleansing:

• intended only for dry-cleaning - not tolerate moisture, to remove contaminants is recommended to use a soft brush;
• wear - cleaning can be carried out using a damp sponge or a brush;
• water-resistant - may be used in high humidity areas. In this wallpaper will not hurt the short-term contact with a damp cloth or sponge, but intensive cleaning them is contraindicated;
• washable - material tolerates exposure to water, combined with less active detergents;
• supermoyuschiesya - is supposed to use any means for washing and cleaning, including aggressive. The most relevant for use in the kitchen. With these wallpapers you can remove grease efficiently and safely, and most importantly, without affecting the integrity of the finish;
• resistant to abrasion - allowed an intensive cleansing with detergent and a brush.

direction sticking

In this case, the labeling indicates the method of placing paintings on the wall. One arrow points to the fact that the wallpaper should be placed strictly in a single direction. Counter arrows say that each successive strip should be rotated through 180 °. Another occurring markings - three arrows, who are looking in the same direction. Strips with this method of sticking strictly arranged in a predetermined direction.

dismantling

Markings on the wallpaper help not only to choose the right coverage and paste it, but then easy to remove. dismantling technology depends on the quality and production of material webs.

Marks options, informing about ways to remove the wallpaper from the walls:

1. Complete removal - lists entirely removed without effort and the use of additional means.
2. Partial removal - are removed by a scraper and water wetting.
3. Removal after wetting - before trying to tear off a strip, it is necessary to thoroughly wet.

How to calculate the required number of rolls

So, all the nuances of a variety of wallpaper list, it was the turn calculations. To find out how many rolls need for repair, it is necessary to calculate the perimeter of the room, its height, and calculate based on the length and width of the panels. Do not forget the height of the room, the size of the repeat, the displacement step, allowances on the bottom and top. For the calculations, you can resort to the following tools:

• Interactive Calculator - Online program, which entered the data online. It is recommended to give preference to more complex counters are used to calculate the maximum number of premises and material characteristics. When choosing a program, pay attention to the units it uses - they should be the same for all parameters - m, cm or mm. Just so you can count on the correct handling of such data;
• Special reference tables - they are the results of calculations in accordance with the parameters of the rolls and dimensions of the room. The tables do not take into account rapport wallpaper, so characteristic of the height needs to be adjusted to account for this parameter increases of curvature of the walls and allowances;
  If you do not trust the-shelf tools, calculations can be made manually. Please use the following algorithm:
• learn perimeter of the room, pre-measuring the width of each of the walls;
• Specifies the height of blades + reserve for allowances, rapport and a shift pattern;
• compute the number of cuts from a roll - its length is divided by the height of the strip;
• We know how many cuts will need - perimeter of the room multiplied by the width of the wallpaper;
• We consider the necessary amount of rolls - the number of bands divided by the number of cuts from a roll. These rounded upwards.

How do I find the room area

Calculate the required number of rolls may be another way - by room area. Determine the total area:

• walls (the calculations do not forget about rapport offset and allowances);
• window and door openings.

The difference between the first and second indicators and is an area for pasting. Divide this value by
roll area and obtain the required value.

conclusion

When buying wallpaper is always a risk miscalculate. Our tips will help you purchase the required amount of the material and not to make unnecessary spending.
