hi, john. could you help me with the formula for working out how many rolls (standard) for papering a staircase? is it also possible to order your oracle of papering knowledge by airmail? if so, how much? hope works good, i'm decorating new houses. y'know, the only colour they seem to use on new houses over here is magnolia. bye. |

Hello Paul, For stairways I use a method that my father used and his father used. It may sound pretty simplistic but it works. With angles on a stairway there will be allot of waste. All I do is count how many strips it will take. Every 2 strips is a double roll or every strip is a single roll. Wallpaper here usually comes in double rolls. I usually walk around using a standard 21' width and count 1,2-2 1,2-4 1,2-6 1,2-8 . That would have been 8 rolls. As far as the book on my site . it is an E-book that you can down load in 2 different formats on your computer and can be printed or just read on your computer. http://www.paperhangit.com The Art Of Wallpapering |
