How to Measure for Wall Tiles

Step 1: Go to Your Tile Design
Head to the product page for the tile you want. You can:

  1. Scan the QR code on the back of your sample
  2. Or browse all our wall tiles and select your design
  3. Type in the tile design in the search box at the top of the page.

Step 2: Measure Your Surface

  1. Use a tape measure to record the height and width of each wall area you want to cover.
  2. Measure each area separately
  3. Write down the measurements in millimetres.

    Step 3: Use the On-Page Calculator
    On the tile’s product page, enter your height and width measurements for each surface. The calculator will work out how many tiles you’ll need.

    Step 4: Allow for Wastage
    The calculator also lets you set a wastage margin. We recommend a minimum of 10% extra to cover:

  1. Trimming edges
  2. Pattern alignment
  3. Accidental mistakes

How to Measure for Adhesive Vinyl

Adhesive vinyl is ideal for transforming cupboards, drawers, benchtops, vanities, and even tables. Accurate measuring makes sure you order enough for a neat, professional-looking finish.

General Rules

  1. Always measure the full surface you want to cover.
  2. Add 2–4cm extra on each side so you can wrap edges and trim neatly.
  3. As a guide, one cupboard door or one set of drawer front uses about 1 metre of vinyl.
  4. Choose the roll size that is wider and longer than your largest surface so you can cover it in a single piece.

Pro tip: Always round up your measurements and order a little extra — it’s better to have leftover vinyl than to run short mid-pr

How to Measure for Window Film

Whether you’re adding privacy, style, or UV protection, measuring your windows correctly ensures the film fits neatly and does the job perfectly.

Step 1: Check the Design Direction

If your film has a pattern, check the product images to see which way it runs. This will help you decide whether the roll should be applied vertically or horizontally.


Step 2: Measure Your Window

  1. Measure the width and height of the glass area you want to cover.
  2. Always measure the visible glass only, not the frame.

Add a small margin (about 1–2cm) if you want extra to trim neatly at the edges.


Step 3: Choose the Right Roll Size

  1. Select the roll that is closest in size to your window.
  2. If your window is smaller than the roll, you can trim away the excess.
  3. If your window is larger than the roll:
    - Cover only part of the window for a decorative effect, or
    - Build it up in panels by either butt-joining the edges or leaving small intentional gaps in between.


Step 4: Special Notes

Tinted film and splinter protection film should cover the entire glass area. Use butt-joined panels if your window is larger than the roll.

How to Measure for Vinyl Wallpaper

Our vinyl wallpaper rolls are4 m long x 67.5 cm wide and are appliedhorizontally across the wall. The roll width (67.5 cm) goesup the wall, and the roll length (4 m) goesfrom left to right.

Step 1: Measure Your Wall

  1. Measure the height of the wall from floor to ceiling.
  2. Measure the width of the wall from left to right.


Step 2: Work Out How Many Strips You Need

  1. Each roll width = 67.5 cm.
  2. Divide your wall height by 0.675 m (roll width) → number of vertical strips needed.
  3. Always round up to a whole number.

👉 Example: Wall height = 2.4 m
2.4 ÷ 0.675 ≈ 3.56 → 4 strips required

Step 3: Work Out How Many Strips You Get Per Roll

  1. Each roll is 4 m long, which runs horizontally across the wall.
  2. Measure your wall width to see how many strips you can cut from a single roll:
    -If the wall width ≤ 4 m → 1 strip per roll
    -If the wall width > 4 m → cut multiple pieces from the roll or butt-join horizontally


Step 4: Calculate Total Rolls Needed

  1. Total rolls = number of vertical strips ÷ strips per roll
  2. Example: Wall height 2.4 m, wall width 3 m
    -Strips required = 4
    -Strips per roll = 1 (wall width < 4 m)
    -Total rolls needed = 4 rolls

If the wallpaper has a pattern repeat (70–90 cm), add 10–20 % extra to ensure alignment

Pro tip: Always measure wall height first, then width. This ensures you order enough rolls to cover the entire wall vertically.
