Typical sizes of painters drop cloths vary by material and manufacturer but follow standard dimensions to cover common room sizes and furniture. For canvas drop cloths, most common typical sizes include small 4x5 feet for small areas and furniture, 6x8 feet for small rooms and closets, 9x12 feet which is most popular and versatile for average bedroom and living room floor coverage, 12x15 feet for large living rooms and master bedrooms, 15x20 feet for very large rooms and commercial spaces, and 6x20 feet runners for hallways. Plastic drop cloths come in larger lightweight sizes like 8x12 feet, 9x12 feet, 10x20 feet, 12x15 feet, and 20x25 feet for covering large areas and furniture. Rosin paper and builder's paper typically come in rolls 36 inches wide by 140 feet long. Paper with plastic backing comes in 9x12 and 12x15. For art use, canvas drop cloths are sold as small as 4x6. Professional painters often stock 9x12 canvas as go-to size because it covers most floors with overlap, and 6x8 for closets, while using 10x20 plastic for furniture. So typical sizes range from 4x5 small to 15x20 large, with 9x12 being standard.
