Flooring quick answers

Start with a common room or tile size, then use the calculators for exact dimensions and product coverage.

Recommended workflow

Measure → allow for cuts → round to whole boxes

Measure the actual installation area, choose a waste allowance appropriate to the layout and material, and use the coverage printed on the product carton. Purchase quantities should be rounded up to complete cartons or boxes. Complex layouts, diagonal patterns, damaged material and future repairs can require additional overage.
