LIFESTYLECalculate square footage and how many boxes of hardwood, laminate, vinyl plank, or engineered flooring you need. Adds waste factor automatically based on layout (straight 5-10%, diagonal 15%, herringbone 20%).
Waste factor accounts for cuts at room edges, mistakes, and future patching. Diagonal and herringbone layouts waste more because every strip needs angled end-cuts. Always buy from the same dye lot and keep one extra box.
