Hardwood flooring formula
Room area = length × width. Required hardwood = room area plus waste. Cartons = required area ÷ carton coverage, rounded up.
Planning notes
Hardwood can need additional waste for board selection, natural variation and layout. This calculator stays focused on hardwood rather than general floor coverings.
- Natural hardwood can require extra sorting for colour and grain.
- Check carton coverage and installation pattern before ordering.
