Floplast PVC Cladding - Coverage per Length

Calculating the Square Meterage of Cladding Required

For straightforward square and rectangular areas like walls and ceilings, simply measure the length and height (walls and panels) or width and length (Ceilings) and multiply the two dimensions together. For example a wall that is 6m long and 3m high would require 18 square metres of cladding board (6 x 3).

When cladding inside a gable, you should measure the length of the barge boards, multiply together and divide by two. For example a gable with barge boards 5m long would require 12.5 square metres of cladding board (5 x 5 = 25, then 25 divided by 2 = 12.5).

Allowing for Cuts and Waste

There are few things more frustrating than coming towards the end of a project and running out of materials. It is for this reason that when it comes to PVC Cladding we would always suggest that you allow an extra 10% for cuts and waste. This is because it is very unlikely that you will be able to use every piece of cladding - there is almost always going to be some waste from your offcuts- pieces that are too small to use. Our experience tells us that 10% is usually an adequate enough allowance to cover this waste. So if for example you have worked out that you will need 30 lengths of cladding to do the job we would suggest that you order 33 lengths in total.

Please note that whilst we have rounded the amounts up to whole lengths, we have made no allowance for cuts and waste. As detailed above we suggest you allow an additional 10% to cover the waste element.
