How we calculate panels

Number of packs = room area / m² per pack. We add a 10% margin for cuts.

Example: room 15 m², pack 2.16 m²

15 / 2.16 = 6.94

7 packs + 10% margin = 8 packs.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need for my room?

Divide the room area by the square metres in one pack, then round up. Add a 10% margin for cuts and the final number is your order.

Why add a 10% margin?

Cuts at walls, doorways and around pipes create waste. A 10% margin covers offcuts and a few spare boards for future repairs.

Does the laying direction affect quantity?

Diagonal or herringbone layouts produce more offcuts, so they may need a 15% margin instead of the usual 10%.

How many square metres are in one pack?

It varies by product, commonly around 2–2.5 m². Always check the figure printed on the pack before ordering.

Should I keep spare panels?

Yes. Keep at least one board so you can replace a damaged plank later, as batch colours can differ over time.

Do I need underlay as well?

Most laminate and vinyl floors need an underlay. Calculate it for the same room area separately from the panels.
