What your flooring area result means

How much waste should I add for flooring?

Many flooring projects use 5% to 15% extra material depending on room shape, cuts, pattern matching, and installer preference.

Does this converter round up cartons?

No. This converter shows the converted value. When ordering flooring cartons, you may need to round up to the next full carton.

Is this the same as a flooring calculator?
