MyYardCalcHow to use this flooring calculator
Use the coverage printed on the exact flooring product. Subtract permanently excluded areas and include other measured rooms as additional area.
Patterns and room geometry determine cut waste. Underlay, transitions, skirting and subfloor preparation are separate items.
Boxes = ceil(net floor area × allowance factor ÷ labeled coverage per box).
