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) |
