To prevent ending up with a final space to large for one board, resulting in a very narrow strip for your final board, you may have to adjust the width of your starter board by ripping it to a different width.

This calculator will give you the width of your starting board and the last board of your hardwood flooring.

The Calculation

1. enter the length of the area
2. enter the exposed face measurement of your floor board
3. enter the measurement your are leaving for expansion

Results

1. the space that is left, based on full boards having been installed
2. the size of one edge board ( result 1 divided in half)
