Flooring calculator
Round your flooring order up to complete boxes.
Formula
Boxes = ceil[area × (1+extra/100) / coverage per box]
Net floor area: 300 ft² · Coverage per box: 20 ft² · Area with allowance ≈ (300 ft² × 0.09290304 m²/ft²)×(1+(10)÷100) · Whole boxes ≈ ceil(((30.6580032)÷(20 ft² × 0.09290304 m²/ft²))×(1-8.881784197001252e-16)) · Purchased coverage ≈ (17)×(20 ft² × 0.09290304 m²/ft²)
How to use
- Add the net floor areas.
- Enter the product coverage per box.
- Set cutting allowance and read boxes.
Examples
- 30 m² plus 10%, in 2 m² boxes, needs 17 boxes covering 34 m².
