3 rolls7 full-height strips • 256 cm per cut • 3 strips per roll. Assumes a plain or straight match and an aligned starting motif.

Worked example

A 325 cm wall needs seven 53 cm strips. At 240 cm high with 10 cm of trim and a 64 cm straight repeat, budget 256 cm per strip. A 1,000 cm roll gives three strips, so allow three rolls before checking motif placement.
