HOW TO MEASURE

Measuring for your hardwood flooring or tile order is easier than you think. Simply multiply the length by the width of the work space and then multiply that number by the appropriate waste factor. MAKE SURE YOU ADD IN THE APPROPRIATE WASTE FACTOR. Waste factors depend on the material selected and the installation method and pattern that is being used. If you would like to double check your numbers please feel free to call your sales rep directly for assistance. The example below offers an outline for calculating the square footage and waste for a 20'x15' room.

Example:

Project Length: 20’

Project Width: 15’

Project Total Area: 300 square feet (20’x15’)

Necessary Waste Factor: 10%

Total Material Required: 330 square feet (300 x 1.1)
