What to check
This calculation uses: Length, Width, Thickness, Volume per pack, Waste allowance. It returns: Area, Volume, Packs.
Measure the clear insulated area and cavity depth. Separate roofs, walls and floors when thickness or product format changes.
Compression can reduce thermal performance. Use the product at its designed thickness and check whether pack coverage refers to installed area.
Include edge strips, service zones and awkward junctions in the layout. Moisture control and ventilation belong to the complete assembly.
Use the units beside each field. The values in the worked example are starting inputs; replace them with your measurements and the specifications of your material.
