Flooring calculator

Turn a room size into flooring packs, underlay rolls and skirting lengths.

Your measurements

How it's worked out

Packs = area × (1 + waste) ÷ coverage per pack. Use about 7% waste for straight lay and 12–15% for diagonal or herringbone. Skirting = room perimeter − 0.82 m per doorway, bought in 5.4 m lengths.

Estimates only. Check sizes, coverage and quantities with your supplier, engineer or certifier before ordering. Standards references are a guide, not compliance advice.
