How to use this tool

  1. Enter net area to insulate, coverage per pack, waste allowance.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Packs = ceiling(net area × allowance / pack coverage).

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using net area to insulate = 90 m², coverage per pack = 8 m², waste allowance = 10 %, the result is 13 packs. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

Understanding your result

Use coverage at the chosen thickness. This does not select thermal performance, vapor control or fire-rated assembly details.

What to keep in mind

Use coverage at the chosen thickness. This does not select thermal performance, vapor control or fire-rated assembly details. A material-quantity estimate, not a structural design or building-code check. Confirm site measurements, supplier coverage and waste before ordering.

Common questions
