How to measure the area of ​​a room

To measure the area,

  • Roulette construction;
  • A notepad or a plain sheet of paper;
  • Handle (and preferably a pencil);
  • Calculator.

Procedure

  1. The simplest way to calculate the area of ​​roomsrectangular shape. It is enough to measure the length and width of the room, using a conventional tape measure and multiply them among themselves (before this you need to translate the numbers to meters). It is important to record all the measurements in the notebook, marking the rooms to which they refer. Otherwise, after the completion of the process will have to remember which room, what area.
  2. The situation is more complicated with the calculation of the area of ​​thoserooms that have protrusions, niches or irregular shapes. Here it is necessary to proceed as follows: it is necessary to break the space into rectangles of the correct form and calculate the area of ​​each one already known to us (point 1). Then, having combined all the data, we get the area of ​​the room.
  3. If there are columns in the room and otherdecorative elements, it is required to subtract the area occupied by them from the total area of ​​the room. To do this, measure them with a tape measure (not in a circle, but in a straight line, drawing a square around the column), and multiplying the length and width, get the area of ​​the column.
  4. Similarly, the wall area is calculated for the calculation of the purchase of finishing materials. The length of the wall is multiplied by its height and the area of ​​the windows and doors is subtracted.
  5. The area of ​​the room during the finishing work canto change. This is facilitated by some materials, for example, drywall. Applying it during the repair, it should be borne in mind that the total area of ​​the room at the end of the work will decrease.
  6. All results of measurements, before and after repair, should be kept in a specially designed table. This will help to avoid making measurements every time you need to know the area of ​​the room.

This method of calculation allows you to measure any area of ​​a house or land. More information can be found in the article - How to calculate square meters.
