Common questions

Before you place the order.

Are these estimates exact?

The math is transparent, but product coverage and jobsite conditions can change the final purchase.

Why include an allowance?

Cuts, texture, spills, breakage, and touch-ups can require more material than the clean geometric amount.

Can I use metric units?

Yes. Unit switching preserves the same physical measurement while changing the displayed values.
