Frequently asked questions
What formula does this calculator use?
Floor area = l × w; Packs needed = ceil(l × w × (1+waste ÷ 100) ÷ pack). Variables: l = room length in m, w = room width in m, waste = waste allowance in %, pack = coverage per pack in m².
What do I need to enter?
You need room length (m), room width (m), waste allowance (%), coverage per pack (m²). Results update as you type.
What is an example result?
With the default inputs (room length = 5 m, room width = 4 m, waste allowance = %10, coverage per pack = 2.2 m²), the results are: floor area 20.00 m²; packs needed 10 packs.
