Use this tool to estimate how many bamboo panels you'll need to cover your walls. Round up to the nearest foot, and enter the dimensions of a regularly shaped area only. If your room is irregular (for example, if it's L-shaped), use this calculator separately for regular sections, then add the ` together. If you're planning to panel more than one surface, say a counter and a wall, use this calculator separately for each area to be tiled.

Here's how many bamboo panels you'll need to cover the area calculated. Remember that this is just an estimate; you may need more, depending on your specific layout. We've figured in a 10 percent cushion for waste, but you'll need more if you have a lot of windows, doors and electric outlets (every cut piece involves some waste). To be sure you're ordering enough, draw a diagram of your layout.
