FAQs
Quick answers
- Are the calculators free to use?
- Yes. ConstructMetric calculators are free to use and do not require an account.
- Do the calculators support metric and imperial units?
- Most calculators support both metric and imperial units. Use the unit toggle inside each calculator to switch between systems.
- How accurate are the results?
- Results are estimates based on your inputs and standard formulas. Always verify assumptions (waste, density, coverage, roll widths) against your project specs and supplier data.
- Should I add waste to material quantities?
- In most cases, yes. Waste accounts for cuts, breakage, pattern alignment, and installation realities. The right percentage depends on the material and layout complexity.
