    How to use the flooring calculator

    Calculate the number of full flooring packs to buy for a rectangular room.

    Worked example

    A 5 × 4 m room covers 20 m². With 10% cutting allowance, allow 22 m², then round up to full packs using the coverage printed on the packaging.

    Before you order

    The waste allowance is a planning assumption. Herringbone, diagonal layouts and awkward rooms may require more. Check pack coverage, batch matching, expansion gaps, subfloor preparation and manufacturer installation instructions.

    Important checks

    1. Measure the actual project dimensions rather than relying on estimates.
    2. Check packaging quantities, supplier pricing and delivery conditions.
    3. Use the calculator as a shopping estimate, not a structural specification.
