How to calculate laminate flooring quantity?
To calculate laminate flooring, you need the room area and the coverage area per pack. Divide the room area by the pack area and add a waste margin.
When laying diagonally, waste increases — allow for 15-20% extra material.
How much waste to account for?
For straight laying, 5-10% extra is usually sufficient. For diagonal or 45-degree laying, allow 15-20%.
Complex room shapes with protrusions, niches, or columns increase waste further.
