A typical media wall uses a few 1200×2400 mm MDF sheets plus 2.4 m C16 timber lengths — more if the front is slatted. Enter your wall size below for an instant estimate of sheets and timber, then design it in 3D free for the exact, nested cutting list.
This is a rough estimate from your dimensions. The exact, itemised cutting list comes from designing the wall in 3D — it’s free.
The estimate uses the same core figures the Wallwrightunits bill of materials is built on: backing boards nested onto 1200 × 2400 mm sheets, 38 × 63 mm C16 timber in 2.4 m lengths at 400 mm centres, and acoustic slat panels priced per sheet. It adds a cutting-waste allowance because real sheets never cut with zero offcut. All prices are shown incl. VAT.
It’s deliberately a fast approximation from a few dimensions — not a quote. The moment you design the actual wall in 3D, the exact panels, the nested sheet layout, the timber cut plan and the itemised, UK-priced bill of materials are generated for you, free.
It depends on the wall size and how many recesses you have. A typical media wall uses a few 1200×2400 mm MDF sheets for the backing and box, plus more if the front is slatted. This calculator estimates the number of MDF sheets and C16 timber lengths from your dimensions; the exact, waste-optimised cutting list comes from designing the wall in 3D.
Media wall frames are built from 38×63 mm C16 timber, usually in 2.4 m lengths at 400 mm centres. The amount depends on the wall width and height plus any recess framing. The estimate here gives an approximate number of 2.4 m studs; Wallwrightunits generates the exact framing and cut list automatically when you design the wall.
The calculator estimates against standard 1200×2400 mm sheets (2.88 m² each), the size the cutting engine nests parts onto. Real cutting adds some waste around the edges and cut-outs, so the sheet count includes an allowance — the exact nested cutting diagram is produced when you design the wall in 3D.
No — it is a quick estimate of sheets and timber from your dimensions, to help you plan a materials run. The exact cutting list — every panel, the nested sheet layout and the timber cut plan — is generated for free when you design the actual media wall in the 3D configurator.
Yes. The calculator is free to use, and designing your media wall in 3D to get the exact cutting list and costed bill of materials is also free during launch. No sign-up is needed to get an estimate.
Design your media wall in 3D and get the exact, nested cutting list and the costed bill of materials — free, in minutes, no CAD needed.
