The Flooring Calculator estimates floor area and material quantity from room dimensions, flooring size, and waste allowance.

Order area=Floor area×(1+Waste100)\text{Order area}=\text{Floor area}\times\left(1+\frac{\text{Waste}}{100}\right)

Check the product's pack coverage and add extra allowance for diagonal layouts, complex cuts, and future repairs.

Limitations

The estimate does not model irregular rooms, transitions, stairs, pattern direction, underlay, or product-specific box sizes.
