How to Measure for Flooring

Gather Your Tools: Tape measure, pencil, and paper (or your phone’s notes app).


Measure Each Space:

  • Measure the length (longest wall) and width (shortest wall) in feet.
  • For irregular rooms, divide the area into smaller rectangles, measure each one, and add the totals.


Double-Check Your Work:
Measure twice to ensure accuracy, and always round up slightly to avoid shortages.


Tips:

  • Measure to the nearest inch and convert to feet.
  • For stairs, measure the tread and riser, then multiply by the number of steps.
  • Always plan for a little extra material — it’s better to have a bit more than not enough.

 A: Multiply the length of the room by the width. Example: 10 ft × 12 ft = 120 sq. ft.


Q: Why include a waste factor?
 A: The waste factor ensures you have enough material for trimming, pattern alignment, and unexpected cuts.


Q: Can I use this calculator for any flooring type?
 A: Yes — it works for vinyl, laminate, hardwood, and tile. Just enter the price per square foot for the product you’re considering. Carpet is slightly different, call our team to assist you.
