Helpful Tips

  • Add 10% waste for straight lay, 15% for diagonal
  • Let hardwood acclimate to room temperature 48-72 hours before installation
  • Use underlayment for laminate and engineered wood
  • Measure each room separately for L-shaped rooms
  • Latex screed is typically poured at 3mm for smoothing, 5mm for levelling, or 10mm for deeper corrections
  • A 25kg bag of latex screed covers roughly 5 sq m at 3mm, 3 sq m at 5mm, or 1.5 sq m at 10mm

Formula Used

Material = Room Area × (1 + Waste Factor); Screed Volume = Area × Thickness

About This Calculator

Calculate the amount of flooring material needed for any room. Supports hardwood, laminate, vinyl, engineered wood, and latex screed calculations. For latex screed, choose your pour thickness (3mm, 5mm, or 10mm) to calculate how many bags or litres you need.
