Wallpaper Contractors & Designers

Wallpaper Roll Count Per Wall, Pattern Repeat Included

Scan a room, get a floor plan, open the Walls tab, and assign a wallpaper material. Set roll width, roll length, and pattern repeat match type once in your materials catalog. SiteScope calculates roll count per wall with repeat waste factored in. No tape measure, no spreadsheet.

Challenges We Solve for Wallpaper Contractors

Pattern-Match Waste

Ordering wrong quantities means pattern-mismatch mid-wall or costly leftover rolls. Precise per-wall measurement eliminates guesswork.

Pattern Repeat Miscalculated

Calculating repeat waste by hand, strip by strip and match type by match type, is where most estimating errors happen. SiteScope factors straight, half-drop, and quarter-drop repeats into every wall automatically.

Designer–Installer Handoff Friction

Designers specify wallpaper, installers buy it, and they're working from different numbers. A shared takeoff CSV closes that gap.

Features Built for Wallpaper Work

Per-Wall LiDAR Scan*

Scan a room and get every wall's exact dimensions, length, height, net area, automatically. Learn more →

Region-Aware Cutouts

Mark wainscoting, feature walls, or any partial-wall zone as a separate region, each gets its own takeoff line with openings already deducted.

Walls Tab Elevation View

Stand each wall up in a flat elevation, see the exact shape, regions, and openings you're papering before you assign a single roll.

CSV Takeoff with Roll Count

Export a line-item summary, sqft per wall, roll count, cost, charge, and margin, ready to paste into your proposal or send to the installer.

* 3D room scanning requires iPhone 12 Pro or later, or iPad Pro (2020 or later) with LiDAR sensor

iPhone or iPad Pro with LiDAR

Measurements Start with a 3D Scan

Walk through any room with your iPhone or iPad Pro's LiDAR sensor and a floor plan generates automatically, capturing every wall's exact length and height in minutes. Those dimensions drive every roll count calculation.

Roll-Based Calculation

Enter Roll Specs Once, SiteScope Handles the Math

Set roll width, roll length, and pattern repeat in the material catalog. Pick a match type (straight, half-drop, quarter-drop) and SiteScope factors the repeat waste into every wall automatically.

Roll width + length drive the coverage calculation

From Scan to Roll Count in One Visit

Here's how wallpaper contractors and designers use SiteScope to bid the same day they walk the site:

1 Scan each room, floor plan is auto-generated with every wall dimension
2 Open the Walls tab, select a wall, view its elevation, see exact shape and openings
3 Assign wallpaper material. Roll count and pattern repeat waste calculated per wall
4 Export roll count + sqft to CSV, send to supplier or drop into your proposal

Material Takeoffs

Roll Count, Not Guesswork.

Set your roll specs once: roll width, roll length, and pattern repeat. SiteScope calculates exactly how many rolls each wall needs.

Pattern repeat built in: choose straight, half-drop, or quarter-drop match type and the repeat waste is factored into every wall's roll count automatically.
Wall-by-wall elevation view: stand each wall up flat in the Walls tab to see its exact dimensions before you assign a material.
Region support for wainscoting & feature walls: assign different wallpaper to lower and upper halves of the same wall. Each region gets its own roll count and line item.
Export wall dimensions, roll count, cost, and margin to CSV and drop it straight into your order form or client proposal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?

Measure each wall's width and height, total the area, then divide by the usable coverage per roll. Pattern repeat forces longer cuts so it raises the count, and most installers add a 10 to 15 percent buffer for cut errors and dye-lot reserve. SiteScope does this per wall automatically once you assign a wallpaper material.

How does pattern repeat affect how much wallpaper to buy?

Each strip has to start at the same point in the pattern so seams line up, which means strips are cut longer than the wall height. A straight match wastes the least; half-drop and quarter-drop matches need more because the pattern shifts across strips. SiteScope factors the match type into every wall's roll count.

Does SiteScope deduct doors and windows from the takeoff?

Yes. Openings are mapped to exact positions on each wall and deducted from the net area. It also flags pattern repeats that fall entirely behind an opening as potential savings.

What is a wallpaper cut sheet?

A printable PDF for the installer with the kill point, a per-strip cut table, per-wall elevation thumbnails, roll inventory with a dye-lot warning, and a QC checklist. One PDF per room. See the cut sheets page for a full example.

Do I need an iPhone to use SiteScope for wallpaper?

A LiDAR scan needs an iPhone 12 Pro or later or an iPad Pro, but you do not have to scan. You can trace from a photo or blueprint, or build a floor plan from scratch, and still get per-wall roll counts.
