The calculation of the area of \u200b\u200bthe walls allows you to accurately determine the amount of the necessary material for the decoration. And errors in measurements and calculations can lead to extra costs. For example, you may not have enough plaster, and you will have to buy another bag. Or, conversely, there will be an extra roll of expensive wallpaper. <\/p>\n

With the right tools and knowledge, you can measure the area of \u200b\u200bthe walls yourself. In this article we will tell you how to calculate the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, and give useful tips that will help to simplify the process.<\/p>\n

    Tools for measuring and conducting calculations<\/h2>\n

    For accurate measurements, you will need a tape measure. A regular roulette of 5 meters long is suitable for most types of rooms. <\/p>\n

    For large rooms, you can use a laser range finder. This is a more expensive and accurate tool. But at the same time, he still has a small error: \u00b1 1.5-3 mm. In addition, the farmer has a small drawback: it will not work to measure the distance through transparent objects.<\/p>\n

    To record sizes, you can use a phone or take a notebook and pen. You will also need a calculator. It is necessary to calculate the area of \u200b\u200bwalls with openings or measure rooms of complex shape. <\/p>\n

    How to measure the area of \u200b\u200bthe walls in a square or rectangular room<\/h2>\n

    To calculate simple walls, use the formula of the area of \u200b\u200bthe rectangle: <\/p>\n

    S = x \u00d7 y, <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Where X is the length of the wall, and y is the height.<\/p>\n

    For example, for a wall with a length of 5 m and a height of 3 m, the calculation will be as follows:<\/p>\n

    S = 5 \u00d7 3 = 15 m2<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Always use the same units of measurement. If you need an area in square meters, measure the length and height in meters.<\/p>\n

    How to measure walls with openings and windows<\/h2>\n

    If there is a window or door in the wall, it is necessary to subtract their area from the total area of \u200b\u200bthe wall. Let’s look at the calculation by example.<\/p>\n

    For example, you have a room with a length of 6 m and a width of 4 m, and the height of the ceilings is 2.5 m. There is a doorway – 0.9 \u00d7 2.1 m and the window opening – 1.5 \u00d7 1.2 m.<\/p>\n

    First we calculate the area of \u200b\u200ball walls: <\/p>\n

    S = 2 \u00d7 (6 \u00d7 2.5) + 2 \u00d7 (4 \u00d7 2.5) = 30 + 20 = 50 m2<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Now we calculate the area of \u200b\u200bthe openings: <\/p>\n

    Door area = 0.9 \u00d7 2.1 = 1.89 m2<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Window area = 1.5 \u00d7 1.2 = 1.8 m2<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Total area of \u200b\u200bopenings = 1.89 + 1.8 = 3.69 m2<\/strong><\/p>\n

    And then we subtract the area of \u200b\u200bthe openings from the area of \u200b\u200bthe walls:<\/p>\n

    Pure wall area = 50 – 3.69 = 46.31 m2<\/strong><\/p>\n

    It turns out that the area of \u200b\u200ball walls, taking into account the openings of 46.31 m2<\/p>\n
