Ideal panelling height for the least cutting:
For minimal cutting your panel height will be 1200mm + the width of your top and bottom strip, so each vertical is a full uncut strip - no measuring, no cutting, no waste.

Tip: Panel gaps of 500–650mm between the verticals tend to give the most balanced look. If your wall is between two sizes above, round up to the next pack — a few spare strips for cutting mistakes saves a second order.
