Follow the three rules below
Linoleum width
The online store «GrandMall» has linoleum of different widths: from 1.5 to 4 meters. You will always find a covering where there will be no joints on the floor after installation.
If your room is too wide, then it is better to take two solid strips. In this case, the joint will be one. It's easy to save money here. Take two sheets of roll with a minimum width so that the joint is in the middle.
Area and cost of linoleum
The footage of linoleum is measured in linear meters, and the material is sold in square meters. To purchase the required amount, we will make easy calculations.
1 - find out the number of bands.
To do this, divide the width of the room by the width of the linoleum sheet. For example, take the following data: the width of the room -3 meters, the width of the linoleum - 2 meters:
3 m ÷ 2 m = 1.5 sheets
Way out. It is better to round up and take 2 sheets. In any case, half of the canvas is not sold in stores, and it will not work to dock the horizontal pattern with the vertical one.
2 - find out how many meters of linoleum you need per room.
We multiply the length of the room by the received number of sheets. Let's say we have a room 5 meters long:
5 m x 2 sheets = 10 running meters
3 - find out the price.
We need to find out how much a piece of linoleum 1.5 meters wide and 5 meters long costs at a price per square of 15 GEL. To do this, we multiply the width by the length, and then by the cost per square meter:
(1.5 m x 5 m) x 10 GEL = 75 GEL
Now you know how many meters of linoleum you need and how much money it will take.
What else do you need to know
There are a few more rules to follow:
- Linoleum should be laid on the floor from one roll. This will reduce the likelihood of different shades in the material.
- To match the pattern, buy linoleum 10-15 cm longer. This will allow you to perfectly match the pattern when laying.
- Place the joints in the direction of the light. Focus on light entering through the window, and the joint will be less noticeable.
Summing up
- You can find out how much linoleum you need per room yourself. To do this, you need to measure the width and length of the room in several places.
- Take the maximum width and length of the room as a guide.
- For the measurement, ask a relative or friend for help and always write down the data obtained.
- When ordering the cover, refer to the calculations you made at home. Share this with a store consultant, and then he will help you choose linoleum of suitable colors and sizes.
