Frequently asked questions
How is board and batten spacing estimated?
The count depends on wall width, the board or batten face width and the chosen spacing. Measure the actual wall and decide how the end gaps should be handled.
Does the estimate include waste?
Not unless the calculator provides a waste allowance. Add extra material for cuts, defects, corners and layout adjustments.
Will this work for every wall layout?
It is a simplified estimate. Doors, windows, corners, uneven walls and trim details can change the quantity and spacing.
