How to use the undefined
Enter the room length and width. If several rooms use the same flooring, set the room count to add their areas. Enter the coverage printed on each flooring package and a waste allowance for cuts and pattern matching. Choose whether your price is per square foot or per package.
Formula and methodology
Total area = length × width × number of rooms. Area with waste = total × (1 + waste%/100). Packages = area with waste ÷ coverage per package, rounded up. Cost = area × price (per sq ft) or packages × price (per package).
Worked example
Room: 12 ft × 12 ft = 144 sq ft, one room, 10% waste, 20 sq ft per package. With waste = 158.4 sq ft ÷ 20 = 7.92, so 8 packages. Enter the values above to confirm.
Helpful measurement tips
- Buy from one production lot to avoid shade variation between planks.
- Diagonal and herringbone layouts waste more — raise the allowance.
- Let flooring acclimate in the room before installing to reduce gaps and buckling.
