BEHIND THE NUMBERS

Clear math. Better decisions.

Strips = ceiling((bed width − overlap) ÷ (roll width − overlap)). Each strip is cut to full bed length. Whole rolls use the number of complete strips that fit per roll.

A worked example

A 20 × 10 ft bed, 3 × 50 ft rolls, and 6 inch side overlaps needs 4 strips; 2 strips fit per roll, so buy 2 rolls.

Before you order

  • Estimate rolls for a rectangular fabric layout with side overlaps.
  • Assumes full-length strips with no end splices. Roll length must reach the bed length. Try swapping bed length and width to compare layouts.

Good questions.

Where do the prices come from?

You enter actual supplier prices. A blank price is unknown; enter zero only when that item is free or deliberately excluded. Taxes and installation are excluded unless a field explicitly includes them.

Can I use metric measurements?

Yes. The unit selector converts dimensions and unit prices. Results use whole packages where applicable. Starting dimensions are examples; confirm product specifications before ordering.
