Finishes
Each finish is measured the way it is sold, then the waste is added and the units are rounded up once for the whole project.
Measured: Length × width
Sold in: Boxes
Tile or plank; the box says how many m² it covers.
Measured: Perimeter × tile height, less the openings below the line
Sold in: Boxes
A bathroom is often tiled to about 2,1 m with paint above.
Measured: Perimeter × the height above the tile line, less the openings above it
Sold in: Gallons
Multiplied by the coats; the can says the m² per gallon and coat.
Measured: Length × width
Sold in: Sheets
A 1,22 × 2,44 m sheet covers 2,98 m²; framing and joint compound are not counted.
Measured: Length × width
Sold in: Gallons
Multiplied by the coats.
Measured: Perimeter less the door openings
Sold in: Pieces
Doors that start at the floor are taken off.
When a wall is tiled up to a height, the tile covers the walls up to that line and the paint the walls above it. A window that crosses the line is split: the part below comes off the tile, the part above off the paint.
In the example bathroom of 2 × 1,6 m and 2,4 m high, tiled to 2,1 m, that gives 13,35 m² of tile and 2,1 m² of paint.
