BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Keep differently specified insulation layers in separate product orders, each with its own coverage and rounding. Product packs = ceil((area − exclusions) × specified layers × allowance / selected pack area). Sum distinct orders.

Product packs = ceil((area − exclusions) × specified layers × allowance / selected pack area). Sum distinct orders.Calculated with normalised units
