Estimating Flooring Materials
Whether you are laying hardwood, installing laminate, or rolling out carpet, calculating the required materials is a straightforward process:
- Square Footage: Measure the maximum length and maximum width of the room in feet. Multiply them to get the gross square footage.
- Waste Factor: Never buy exactly the gross square footage. You must account for cuts, mistakes, and awkward corners.
- Standard Rooms: Add 10% waste.
- Rooms with Angles/Curves: Add 15% waste.
- Custom Patterns (e.g., Herringbone): Add 20% waste.
