Insulation Calculator

Estimate insulation packs from surface area and pack coverage.

Enter all measurements in one unit system. Results are planning estimates; check product guidance before ordering.

How this estimate works

The calculator applies: ceil(area x (1 + waste/100) / coverage). Keep measurements in one unit system and round up when suppliers sell whole units.

Limitations

Required R-value, thickness, thermal bridges, vapour control, and local code come first.
