Calculate flooring for your room

Our floor calculator helps you determine the exact area and number of flooring packages. The calculator includes 10% extra for waste and cutting.

The most popular floor types are hardwood, laminate and vinyl. Hardwood gives a natural look, laminate is a cheaper alternative, and vinyl is suitable for wet rooms.

Package sizes

Most flooring products are sold in packages of about 2.4 m². Always check the exact size with the retailer. Buy at least one extra package for future repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much extra flooring should I buy for waste?

Calculate at least 10% extra for standard rectangular rooms. For rooms with many corners, angles or diagonal laying, calculate 15% extra.

What is a standard floor board package size?

Most flooring products come in packages of about 2.4 m². Some manufacturers use 2.0 m² or 3.0 m² packages. Always check the exact size before ordering.
