How to Calculate Square Footage
When ordering flooring, the first step is knowing how much square footage you need to cover.
Here is a simple formula to help you calculate a room’s square footage:
- Measure the area’s length and width
- Multiply them together to get your square footage
Here’s an example:
- Take a room that is 10’3’’ long and 20’8’’ wide
- To multiply length and width, first convert both to feet. Convert 10'3" and 20'8" to feet by dividing the number of inches by 12:
- 3"/12"=.25
- 8"/12"=.667
- 10'3"=10.25'
- 20'8"=20.667'
- Multiply: 10.25' x 20.667'
- Your square footage is 211.84 square feet
When measuring rooms of irregular shapes, try organizing the space into rectangles, and add those measurements together.
Once you have your square footage number, our site calculates how many boxes you’ll need to order. Browse to the product page of the floor you would like to order and you'll see a box where you can enter your square footage. Select whether or not you want to add the recommended 8% overage, add the boxes to your cart, and check out! Always feel free to reach out to our support team if you have any questions, or prefer to place your order over the phone.
