The following is an excerpt from the Paper Illusions Guide…
This product comes in rolls and each roll is packaged in a box. Each roll contains 85 square feet (about the size of a triple roll of regular wallpaper). When ordering, you would order the number of “boxes” by determining the number of rolls needed.
The thing to keep in mind when calculating how much you need of PaperIllusion™ is unlike regular wallpaper this paper is installed in an overlapping manner, so you’ll have some waste. For example, to do a surface area of 75 square feet, you’ll need about 85 square feet to have enough (provided you don’t get carried away when you overlap your pieces). If you have 85 square feet of space to cover, one roll will not do it no matter how hard you try, you’ll need more.
“Mini-rolls” are available at Wallpaper Illusions. These are partial rolls that have been cut by us and are provided as a convenience product. They are perfect for small projects or when you only need a little bit more to complete a larger project and don’t want to buy a whole box. These mini-rolls are approximately 13 square feet (8 feet long x 20.5 inches wide).
To measure for PaperIllusion™, you’ll need to determine the surface area you are going to cover. Measure the width in feet and multiply it by the height in feet. This will give you total square footage needed to cover. Divide that number by 75 (not 85) and that will indicate how many boxes to order.
If your calculation is barely over a whole number (like 2.1) then consider whether or not you have openings (like windows or doors) in the surface area you measured. A standard size door is about 21 square feet and a standard size window is about 15 square feet. These are rough measurements but a good gauge for calculating the number of rolls needed. Take the total square footage (before dividing by 75) and subtract for windows and doors. Take that net square footage and divide by 75 and round up to the whole number to determine the number of boxes needed.
TIP: Always order more than you think you need. It’s very frustrating to run out…
For an easy-to-use reference chart to calculate the number of rolls/boxes needed and a whole lot more information on PaperIllusion, I highly recommend ordering the Paper Illusions Guide. It’s a great resource!
