Wallcovering Estimation
1. Determine the squarefootage to be covered
2. Divide the squarefootage by the factor from the chart
3. Account for 10% waste to be added to the total number
Wallcovering factor chart
factor = width in inches / 4

sf/yd
36" 9
39" 9.75
51" 12.75
54" 13.5
55" 13.75
59" 14.75
Drapery estimation (plain fabric)
1. Window width / 3 = stack back
2. Half stackback (each side of window)
3. Stackback + window width = rod width
4. Rod width * .25 = fullness
5. Fullness/Fabric Width = Number of Panels
6. Cut Length * Number of Panels = Total Inches
7. Total Inches / 36 = Yardage Needed
Drapery estimation (repeated fabric)
1. Window width / 3 = stack back
2. Half stackback (each side of window)
3. Stackback + window width = rod width
4. Rod width * .25 = fullness
5. Fullness/Fabric Width = Number of Panels
6. Finished length + 16" = Desired Cut Length
7. Desired Cut Length / Size of Repeat = Adj Cut Length
8. Adj Cut Length * # of Repeats in One Panel = Insurance
9. Insurance + Sub Total = Total Inches
10. Total Inches / 36 = Yardage Needd
Carpet Yardage
1. Length * Width = SF
2. Select direction for carpet run
3. Add 3 Inches to each run and/or doorways
4. Mark size and place of seams and pieces
5. Add length of all runs needed
6. Multiply x 12 (or the carpet width in feet)
7. Divide by 9 (sy)
Criteria for selecting FF&E
Function, Durability, Maintainability, Health and Safety, Cost
Function (FF&E)
Acoustic qualities, aesthetics, availability, choice of color, texture, et cetera.

Installation Method
Noise Reduction Coefficient
measurement of sound absorption
ASTM F793 (Durability)
Wallcovering durability standards
Abrasion Resistance (Durability)
Availability of a material to be worn away by another object
Blocking Resistance (Durability)
the capability of a material to resist adhesion between two surfaces of a wallcovering
Breaking Strength (Durability)
A load that when placed on a material is just great enough to break the material
Coating adhesion (Durability)
Ability of a thin coating to adhere to it substrate
Cold-cracking resistance (Durability)
Resistance of coated surfaces to cracking when exposed to low temperatures
Color Fastness (Durability)
Resistance to color change when exposed to light
Corrosion resistance (Durability)
Resistance to deterioration by a chemical.
Cricking Resistance (Durability)
Resistance to transfer a color from a wall covering when rubbed.
Fabrication quality (Durability)
How well an item is put together at the factory
heat-aging resistance (Durability)
Wallcovering's resistance to deterioration from high temperatures over a period of time.
Light fastness (durability)
Ability to resist loss of color when exposed to sunlight.
Scrubability (durability)
Ability to be cleaned repeatedly with a brush
Shrinkage (durability)
decrease in dimension when exposed to moisture
Stain resistance (durability)
resistance to chance in apperance after application and removal of another material
Tear resistance / Tear Strength (durability)
Resistance of a material to the propagation of an existing tear.
Maintainability
Cleanability, reparability, resilience, Self healing, sustainability
Safety and health
Finish safety, flammability, mold and mildew resistance, outgasing, security, slip resistance, VOC emission
Slip Resistance
measured in the coefficient of friction
.6 ADA minimum
.8 for ramps or
.7 for special situation
Uniform Construction Code
governs FF&E contracts
Wool
Excellent resilience "wrinkle-free", Excellent elasticity and wears well, resistance to soiling and cleans easily
****MOST FLAME RESISTANCE**** Will burn but will self extinguish, expensive
Cotton
Inexpensive, good tensile strength, good abrasion resistance, poor resilience, degrades under prolong sun exposure, burns readily, subject to mildew
Linen
Made from flax plant, bast fiber (stalk of a plant), Lacks resilience and flexibility, does not take dyes well
Silk
VERY strong and resilient and flexible. VERY expensive, degrades in sunlight, flame resistant
Rayon
Regenerated cellulose fiber, Poor resistance to sunlight and poor resilience, high absorbency, low resistance to water and moisture (flammable)
Acetate
Regenerated ceullose fiber with acetic acid, lost cost, flammable, does not wear well, poor sunlight resistance
Nylon
Most popular, super strong, super resilient, and super elastic, resistant to some chemicals, water and microorganisms, self extinguishing.
Acrylic
Used in place of wool, good strength in resilience, resistant to sunlight, can be flammable
Olefin
Inexpensive, highly resistant to chemicals, mildew and micro organisms. Highly resilient and non absorbent. Useful for carpet and carpet backing, low resistance to sunlight, heat, flame.
Polyester
Good resilience in elasticity, high resistance to solvents and chemicals. Good resistance to sunlight, undesirable burning properties but can be treated to be flame resistant, absorbs and holds oily material
Specialty Fabric
Avora FR - Polyester yarn that is permanently flame resistant, easy to clean and crease proof

Crypton - made by emersing fabric in chemical solution, followed by heat. Stain, water, flame and bacterial resistant

Gore - Fabric lamination that applies a breathable moisture barrier to the back of a fabric and a topical coating to the front.
Cushioning and seaming
* Cotton batting is VERY flammable. Neoprene and polyester batting are a better choice.
* Avoid tufting wear cigarettes can be dropped, use railroading instead.
* Cushion firmness is measured with the ILD (indentation load deflection)
