Measuring Area with Our Flooring Calculator

Square footage (sq ft) measures the surface area of a space. It is calculated by multiplying the length by the width and is commonly used for flooring coverings. Example Calculation:
  • A 10-foot by 12-foot room:
  • 10 ft X ft = 120 sq ft

Splitting Irregular Spaces into Sections

If your floor isn't a perfect rectangle, break it into smaller rectangular sections. Calculate the square footage of each section separately, then add them together for the total.

Accounting for Waste

Woodworking projects often produce waste due to cuts, mistakes, and odd-shaped pieces. To avoid running short, add 10% extra for overages to your total square footage. Formula: Total Lumber Needed = Square Footage X 110% Example with Waste: 120 sq ft = 132 sq ft of lumber needed Use our calculator to ensure you buy the right amount of material for your project.
