We consider square meters in the room of the correct and irregular shape
Repair planning is alwaysdifficulties. They are expressed not only in monetary embezzlement, but also in planning. It is necessary to accurately calculate how much and what material will be required for puttying, wallpapering or flooring. And then you can not do without the school knowledge of mathematics, to learn how to calculate the square meters of the room.
At first glance, everything is simple: multiplied length by width and got the desired number. But in practice, you may find that the calculations were wrong, and you did not have enough material, or you bought extra and spent more money.
In this article you will receive detailed instructions on how to calculate the square meters of a room of the correct form, polyhedron or room with niches or projections.
Calculate the square meters of a rectangular room
It's very easy to do this. You only need a tape measure, a sheet of paper, a pencil and a calculator. You can measure any surface (walls, floor or ceiling). Simply measure the length and width of the plot, and then multiply them by one another.
But even in this seemingly simple process of counting square meters there are some small nuances:
Take a few measurements. The rooms are almost never perfectly square or rectangular.
First measure the length or width of the room with oneside, then center, and then on the other. Output the arithmetic mean of these numbers, and you will get the optimal size. To do this, summarize all three indicators and divide them by the number of measurements, in our case - by three.
After the measurement, count the total number of square meters. For floor or ceiling calculations, multiply the width by the length, for walls - the length by the height.
How to calculate square meters in a non-standard room
If the room has niches, ledges or columns, the calculations will be done a little differently. In fact, the technology remains the same, but you need to consider the availability of additional decor elements.
First, we measure the total area of the room without protrusions or niches.
Then we measure by the same principle the area of additional elements (niches, columns or ledges).
If you need to find out how many square metersFloor coverings are needed in your room with two niches, you add their area to the overall size of the room. With the protrusions it is necessary to do the opposite - subtract them from the total figure.
Counting the number of wallpaper, you need to do this way. If you plan to glue additional elements, add their area to the total, if not - take it away.
It happens that the room has a non-standard form andMeasure square meters, as in a rectangle, does not work. Then the whole room is broken up into separate geometric figures to simplify the calculations of square meters.
Most likely, you will have to divide the room into circles, squares and triangles and calculate the area of each of them according to the appropriate formula.
However, even after making the necessary measurements, notforget to make a small stock. In the process of repair often there are all kinds of force majeure circumstances, like improperly cut off wallpaper. But in the case of their absence, you should always consider that you have to put or cut material, so be sure to throw a meter or two. In any case, correct calculations are a guarantee of quality repairs, and they need to be carried out with special care, adding an error of about five percent.
