Net Paintable/Tilable Wall Area
📐 Mathematical Formula & Standard
Gross Wall Area = Perimeter ft × Height ft
Deductions = (Doors × 21 sq ft) + (Windows × 15 sq ft)
Net Wall Area = Gross Wall Area - Deductions
Deductions = (Doors × 21 sq ft) + (Windows × 15 sq ft)
Net Wall Area = Gross Wall Area - Deductions
