How to Use This Calculator

Enter the Panel Length, Panel Width in inches, and Number of Panels to veneer.
Select Edge Banding coverage (none, long edges only, or all four edges) and substrate thickness.
Select the Grain Match method — random, slip, book, or radial — which affects waste factor.
Indicate whether to Veneer Both Faces (strongly recommended to prevent warping).
Review Gross Veneer Area with waste, Veneer Leaves needed, Adhesive (Contact Cement) gallons, and Total Material Cost.
