Measure the width of your wall with a tape measure. Note the number as inches, not feet.

Step 2: Measure the height of your wall

Measure the height of your wall with a tape measure. Note the number as inches, not feet.

Step 3: Lets measure what you wont be covering

Now let’s measure what you will not be covering, such as a door or a window. Again, you will measure the width and height in inches and enter those numbers into the  “subtract a door or window” drop down on the calculator.
