Flooring

To calculate the amount of flooring needed, first determine the area of your room (length × width). Then add a waste allowance (typically 5-10%) for cuts and mistakes. Our calculator also estimates the number of boxes required based on standard packaging sizes.

The best flooring material depends on your needs: Hardwood offers durability and classic beauty, Laminate is cost-effective and easy to install, Vinyl is water-resistant and low maintenance, and Carpet provides comfort and warmth. Consider factors like budget, lifestyle, and room usage when choosing.

For most standard installations, a 10% waste allowance is recommended. This accounts for cuts, mistakes, and future repairs. For rooms with irregular shapes or diagonal installations, you may want to increase this to 15%.

The number of boxes needed depends on the coverage per box, which varies by material: Hardwood (~1.86 sqm/box), Laminate (~1.86 sqm/box), Vinyl (~2.00 sqm/box), and Carpet (~15 sqm/roll). Our calculator automatically estimates this based on your selected material.
