05. April 2018 | The KRONOTEX Online Calculator makes it very easy for you to determine the amount of laminate flooring that you will need for a given room. Show
On all of the pages of this website that present laminate décors, now you can find a way to calculate how much of it you’ll need for your project. First measure the room – in other words, the lengths of the walls, from corner to corner. Then enter the
room’s dimensions as well as the desired laying angle (parallel to the longest wall, at a 90° angle to it or oblique) into the calculator and click to see how many boxes of laminate flooring will be required. The surface area is also calculated so you immediately learn how many square metres will have to be covered with underlay materials such as plastic membrane and acoustic insulation. The package yield, in other words the number of square metres that can be covered with a package of a given laminate flooring, depends on its thickness and panel dimensions. A box of thinner, narrower panels goes further than one of a décor that comes in thicker, wider plank-format panels. The amount of trimming scrap depends on the laying angle and is also calculated. 15% is the rate assumed for the two oblique patterns (45° and 135°), but only 10% for installation parallel
to the walls. A room’s circumference is important for calculating how much skirting board is needed. The calculator therefore also works out the total length of all of the walls so you’ll know how many metres of it are required to attractively finish your new laminate floor where it meets the edges of the room. Take your time browsing the product pages of our
various collections. We’re certain that you’ll find at least one KRONOTEX laminate flooring décor that thrills you. And then you can immediately try out the online quantity calculator on it!

calculation for the Alta decor (D4700) of the DYNAMIC PLUS collection Five Latest ArticlesMore articles We know how difficult home improvements can be, especially estimating how much material you will need given the size of the room. You want to be accurate in your estimations to avoid wasting your money. Whatever your project, you will likely need to measure the space and estimate the total cost! That’s why we built our flooring calculator. 🔨 Use it to ensure that your next home improvement project gets off to an efficient start. Quickly calculate the cost of the project and work out how much vinyl, laminate or hardwood flooring you’ll need to purchase. In this article we will show you how easy the calculator is to use and how to use it. We will also explain the Mathematical formulae it uses to work out the total area and expected cost.
Flooring calculator formulaBefore you start using the calculator, you should measure the width and length of the room you want to lay a new floor in. Based on these values, the calculator first calculates the area of the room in square footage. It estimates this using the formulae: $$Room\,Area = Length × Width$$ Once you know the room area (in square footage) you’re good to go purchase the material! However, if you want an expected cost, you’ll need to do a second calculation: Calculating Total Cost of the Flooring MaterialsIf you know the price per unit of area (e.g. the price per square footage) of your chosen material, the calculator can work out an estimate for the total cost of the landscaping project: $$Cost = Room\,Area × Price\,per\,Unit\,of\,Area$$ You should consider that this cost does not factor in other expenses like installation, equipment and breakage. Obviously, if the expected cost is too high for the selected material, then you should consider using cheaper flooring material. But, what if you don’t know the unit price? Well, this can also easily be calculated based on the available material you purchase: $$Price\,per\,Unit\,of\,Area = {Total\,Cost\,of\,Flooring\,Material \over Total\,Area\,of\,Material}$$ What if I want to calculate multiple areas?We understand that, in reality, you’re going to be flooring areas that aren’t perfectly rectangular. It’s likely that your room (or multiple rooms!) are made up of multiple rectangles, like in our example here. But don’t worry! To figure out the total area of the room is still very simple. All you need to do is split the total area into rectangles, calculate the area of each and then finally add these up to work out the total area: $$Total\,Flooring\,Area = Length\,1 × Width\,1 + Length\,2 × Width\,2+⋯$$ You’ll notice that our online flooring calculator has an option for “add area”. Use this option to calculate the total floor area if you have multiple areas or rooms by simply entering the correct values for each length and width. Something not clear? 😓 If this doesn’t make sense, fear not! Below, we will show you two fully worked examples starting with different initial criteria to calculate the total area, and cost of a laminated and a vinyl flooring. Otherwise, enter your measurements and units into our flooring calculator to get your home improvement project off to an effective and efficient start! Example Calculations
Let’s imagine I want to lay down laminated floorboards in a rectangular room. The room measures 20 feet in width and 8 feet in length. I can purchase the laminated flooring at a cost of $4 for each square footage purchased. I want to figure out the total area of flooring and the expected total cost of the home improvement project. I would therefore enter these values and measurements into the laminate flooring calculator which would first work out the area of the room: $$Room\,Area = Length × Width = 20\,ft × 8\,ft = 160\,ft^2$$ and the expected total cost of the laminated flooring: $$Cost = Room\,Area × Price\,per\,Unit\,of\,Area = 160\,ft^2 × 4\,$/ft^2 = $640$$
Let’s now say I have an L-shaped room, with dimensions as shown in the picture. I want to know how much vinyl flooring I will need and how much the project will cost. I don’t know the unit price of the vinyl flooring, but I can purchase 15 square feet for $75. I would first need to calculate the price per square footage of the vinyl flooring material: $$Price\,per\,Unit\,of\,Area = {Total\,Cost\,of\,Flooring\,Material \over Total\,Area\,of\,Material} = {$75 \over 15\,ft^2} = 5\,$/ft^2$$ Based on the measurements of the room, the vinyl flooring calculator is able to work out the total area of the L-shaped room in square footage: $$Total\,Flooring\,Area = Length\,1 × Width\,1 + Length\,2 × Width\,2 = 6\,ft × 4\,ft + 4\,ft × 4\,ft = 24\,ft^2 + 16\,ft^2 = 40\,ft^2$$ Finally, the calculator would also work out the total cost of the flooring project: $$Cost = Room\,Area × Price\,per\,Unit\,of\,Area = 40\,ft^2 × 5\,$/ft^2 = $200$$ At this point, we imagine you are wondering: What if my measurements aren’t in feet?Well, the answer couldn’t be simpler. Our calculator can do all the conversions for you. 🙂 You can calculate length and width in inches, feet, yards, centimeters and meters. Simply pick the desired units in the drop down option and the flooring calculator will do the following conversions for you: $$1\,foot = 12\,inches = 0.33\,yards = 30.48\,centimeters = 0.3048\,meters$$ $$1\,ft^2 = 144\,in^2 = 0.111\,yd^2 = 929\,cm^2= 0.0929\,m^2$$ In addition, price per unit of area can also be given in dollars per square mile and dollars per acre. The calculator will do the following conversions for you: $$1\,mile^2 = 27,880,000\,ft^2$$ $$1\,acre^2 = 43,560\,ft^2$$ It’s that simple! 😉 How do I calculate how many laminate flooring cases I need?To do so, use a tape measure to determine the room's length and width. Then multiply the length by the width to get your square footage. For instance, if the room is 12 feet wide and 12 feet long, you will need enough flooring for 144 square feet (12×12=144).
How many boxes of flooring do I need for a 12x12 room?Quick Reference Chart – How Many Boxes of Flooring Do I Need?. How many sq ft does a box of laminate cover?Laminate flooring is sold by the carton. Each carton generally contains 20 square feet, but this can vary by style. Check with your Project: Partner for exact quantities. While laminate products usually don't have consistency issues, you still have to allow for waste when calculating the amount of product to purchase.
