Documentation

How It Works

We calculate full vertical strips (drops) needed to cover the perimeter, ensuring pattern matching alignment.

Total Drops = Perimeter / Roll Width

Drop Length = Wall Height + Repeat + Trim

Drops/Roll = Floor(Roll Length / Drop Length)

Pattern Repeat Tips

  • Random Match: 0" repeat. Least waste.
  • Straight Match: Pattern matches horizontally.
  • Drop Match: Pattern drops diagonally (more waste).
  • Note: We assume standard waste for matching.
