What this means
Rectangle, L-shape, and custom area modes all add a waste allowance before pack rounding.
Formula used
Area with waste = shape area x (1 + wastage%). Packs = ceil(area with waste / pack coverage).
Worked example
A 4.2m by 3.6m room with 10% waste needs 16.63 m², or 9 packs if each covers 1.86 m².
Common questions
Can I use this internationally?
Yes. Currency selectors are display-only unless a tool explicitly says otherwise; no currency conversion is performed.
How exact is the result?
It follows the published Technofatty formula for this tool, but real life can add fees, rules, timing quirks, and context.
Plain-English summary
Measure twice before buying once. Annoying, but cheaper.
This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.
