Flooring needed cartons
Waste Adds cartons
Amount of Cartons Needed cartons

The Calculation

  1. enter length A of the room. (feet+inches) Note: flooring runs perpendicular to the length A of the room
  2. enter the length B of the room. (feet+inches)
  3. enter the exposed face of the plank. (inches)
  4. enter the expansion gap (fraction of an inch)
  5. enter the square footage a carton of flooring covers (sq. ft. /carton)
  6. enter a waste factor. (percentage)

Results:

  1. Square Footage of Room: the calculation for flooring needed allows for 1/2" expansion gap around the room
  2. Amount of Planks to Cover Floor: The amount of flooring needed in lineal feet to cover the floor.
  3. # Of Full Rows Across Floor: # of rows with full width planks from end to end.
  4. the width of the first plank (based on Length A - twice the expansion gap * full rows )
  5. number of cartons needed
  6. the amount of cartons a waste % adds
