This tool will help you calculate the total square footage of siding needed for your project.
How to Use the Siding Calculator:
1. Enter the width and height of the wall you wish to cover with siding in feet.
2. Enter the number of windows and doors present on the wall.
3. Enter the average area of one window and one door in square feet.
4. Click the “Calculate” button to get the total siding area required in square feet.
How it Calculates:
The calculator multiplies the width by the height of the wall to get the total wall area. Then, it subtracts the total area covered by windows and doors, calculated by multiplying the number of windows and doors by their respective average areas.
Limitations:
– All measurements should be in feet and square feet.
– Ensure accurate measurement for precise calculation.
