Lowe’s Laminate Floor Calculator
Expert Guide to Lowe’s Laminate Floor Calculator
Lowe’s laminate floor calculator is an essential tool for planning your flooring project. It helps you determine the amount of flooring material needed, ensuring you buy the right amount and avoid waste.
- Enter the room’s length and width in feet.
- Enter the width of your chosen laminate flooring in inches.
- Click ‘Calculate’.
The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the square footage needed:
Room Area (ft²) = Room Length (ft) × Room Width (ft)
Flooring Needed (ft²) = Room Area (ft²) / (Flooring Width (in) × 12 (in/ft))
| Flooring Width (in) | Flooring Needed (ft²) per 100 ft² Room |
|---|---|
| 6 | 16.67 |
| 8 | 12.5 |
| 12 | 8.33 |
- Always round up to the nearest whole number when calculating the amount of flooring needed.
- Consider adding an extra 5-10% for waste and cuts.
How do I measure my room?
Measure the length and width of your room in feet. For irregularly shaped rooms, divide it into rectangles and calculate each separately.
