Rolls are decided by drops: how many full-height strips a roll yields once the pattern repeat has taken its cut.

How it works

Each drop is wall height plus one pattern repeat. A standard 10.05 m roll yields floor(10.05 / drop) drops; the walls need ceiling(total width / 53 cm) drops. Divide and round up - and buy all rolls from one batch.

Frequently asked questions

How many rolls for one wall?

A 4 m wide, 2.4 m high wall with no repeat: 8 drops needed, 4 drops per roll - 2 rolls. A 50 cm repeat pushes the drop to 2.9 m and cuts a roll to 3 drops.

What is a pattern repeat?

The vertical distance before the design repeats. Every drop must start at the same point in the pattern, so each drop wastes up to one repeat length.
