Common questions

Are quantities shown in US units?

The US market uses square feet for areas and linear feet for lengths. Enter your estimate rates in the corresponding display units.

Can I estimate multi-layer assemblies?

Specified layers remain separate from the measured host coverage. Review assembly types and included layers before calculating purchasing quantities and your estimate.
