How can I calculate how many wall panels I need?
Determining the number of acoustic wall panels you need is straightforward. First, measure the height and width of the surface you want to cover and calculate the total square meters (m²). Each wall panel has dimensions of 280 x 60 cm and covers 1.68 m².
Calculation:
- Multiply the height and width of the wall to calculate the total surface area in square meters.
- Divide this number by 1.68 m² to determine how many panels you need. When in doubt, always round up to ensure you have enough panels.
Example:
Let’s say you have a wall that is 5 meters wide and 2.5 meters high, and you want to calculate how many wall panels you need.
- Calculate the area of the wall: width x height = 5 m x 2.5 m = 12.5 m²
- Determine the number of panels: each wall panel covers 1.68 m². Divide the total area of the wall by the area of one panel: 12.5 m² ÷ 1.68 m² = 7.44. In this case, you could use the maximum usable surface per panel. However, it might be better to use this formula: 5 m / 0.60 m = 8.33. This results in more leftover waste, but often the best visual option for your wall, as only full panels are used and no cut parts are visible.
- Round up the number: since you can't purchase a partial panel, you round up from 8.33 to 9 panels.
Conclusion: You will need 9 wall panels to fully cover the wall.
