Hint: Use our cladding calculator, which appears on each product page. The calculator knows the size of the cladding you are looking at, and will remember the heights and widths you enter.

How Many Do I Need?

Working out how many panels, tiles or flooring planks you need is usually straightforward.

Simply measure your wall or floor, then divide it by the coverage of each panel.

Some tips before you start

Allow 10% extra for cuts and wastage
Remember areas like doors, windows, basins etc won't need cladding
Take note of your ceiling height and check that the cladding you like is long enough

PVC CLADDING

Most common PVC wall panel widths

20cm (200mm)
25cm (250mm)
40cm (400mm)
50cm (500mm)
1m (1000cm) Shower Panels

Most common PVC wall panel lengths

2.4m (2400 cm)
2.6m (2600 cm)
2.7m (2700 cm)
3.0m (3000 cm)

PVC wall panels needed per 1m of wall width

20cm (200mm) x 5 panels
25cm (250mm) x 4 panels
40cm (400mm) x 2.5 panels
50cm (500mm) x 2 panels
1m (1000cm) x 1 panel

SPC WALL TILES

Calculating tiles is slighly different

SPC wall tiles are 80x40cm (800mm x 400mm)
For SPC tiles you need to calculate the whole wall area including the height
As an easy example, your room height is 2.4m and the wall you're cladding is also 2.4m
For this, you'd need 18 tiles
We've used this calculation because in this scenario no cutting would be needed and you would fit 3 tiles across and 6 tiles high
SPC wall tiles come in packs of 5 so you would need 4 packs for this room (20 tiles)

SPC FLOORING

Our main flooring sizes

305 x 610mm tiles (9 panels at 1.67 m² coverage)
305 x 610mm tiles (8 panels at 1.49 m² coverage)
914 x 150mm panels (12 panels at 1.67 m² coverage)
180 x 1220mm (8 panels at 1.76 m² coverage)

Example room calculation

Let's say your room is 3m x 4m, this is 12 m²
To calculate the number of packs you need, divide the room m² by the pack m²
For example 12m² ÷ 1.67m² = 7.19 pack → so you would need 8 packs
305 x 610mm tiles (9 pack 1.67 m²) you would need 8 packs
305 x 610mm tiles (8 pack 1.49 m²) you would need 9 packs
914 x 150mm panels (12 pack 1.67 m²) you would need 8 packs
180 x 1220mm (8 pack 1.76 m² ) you would need 7 packs
