Your Project
To ensure you get the perfect fit for your floor, it’s essential to measure your rooms accurately. Follow our simple guide to measure different room sizes for flooring.
Rectangular Rooms
Rectangular rooms can be calculated by multiplying the length by the width.
If your room is 5 metres long by 4 metres wide, the area will be 20 metres squared.
Therefore, you'll need a minimum of 20m2 of flooring.
Odd Shaped Rooms
For odd shaped rooms, you can easily calculate the area by splitting the room into rectangular sections, multiplying the length by the width of each section, and then adding all the areas together.
For the example above, the minimum amount of flooring needed would be 13.75m2.
Tips For Accurate Measurements
- Double-Check: Always measure twice to ensure accuracy.
- Round Up: Round up to the nearest centimetre to ensure you have enough material.
- Account for Waste: Add 10% to your total square footage to account for cutting and waste.
Accessories
To complete your flooring installation, you’ll need to factor in the right accessories. Here’s how to calculate what you’ll need:
How to Measure Your Perimeter
The perimeter is the total distance around the edge of your room.
Measure each wall in your room.
Add all the wall lengths together to get the total perimeter.
Example:
If your room has four walls measuring 5m, 4m, 5m and 4m:
5 + 4 + 5 + 4 = 18m perimeter
Scotia / Beading
Scotia is used to cover the expansion gap around the edges of your room.
Take your total perimeter measurement.
Divide this by 1.2m (the length of each scotia piece).
Example:
18 ÷ 1.2 = 15 lengths of scotia needed
We recommend rounding up to ensure full coverage and allow for cuts.
Door Bars / Thresholds
Door bars are used in doorways to create a neat transition between rooms or different flooring types.
Add 1 door bar per doorway.
Door bars come in standard 1.2m lengths, which is suitable for most doorways.
End Profiles
End profiles are used where your flooring meets an edge, such as patio doors, fireplaces, or steps.
Add 1 end profile per exposed edge.
These also come in standard 1.2m lengths.
Top Tip:
Always add a little extra to your accessory calculations to allow for cutting and wastage - this helps avoid delays during installation.
Why Add 10% Wastage?
Adding 10% extra is the industry standard in the UK and ensures you have enough material to handle cuts, tricky corners, doorways, and irregular room shapes. It’s a smart way to keep your project running smoothly!
Use Our Smart Calculator
Toggle on our smart calculator to double-check your order. It will calculate the exact m² you need and confirm if your selected packs already include enough wastage.
If not, the calculator will automatically add the extra required quantity, so you’re ready to add everything to your basket!Summary

Installation Instructions
Start by placing two RR panels and three LL panels in the form of a V shape.
Connect the first RR panel into the first LL panel by angling it.
Connect the second LL panel on the left side of the V shape by angling it.
Alternate RR and LL panels until all five panels have been connected.
Mark a straight line from the lower left corner of the third LL panel through the top right corner of the first LL panel to form a triangle. Cut along the line with a saw.
Place triangles working your way outward from the centre of the wall.
Measure and cut the remaining two triangles and slot them between the walls and the other triangles.
Continue with the next row of RR panels. Connect the long side by angling it. Measure and cut the panel closest to the wall as necessary.
Slide the panels along its long side and connect the short side by snapping it using a tapping block.
Use LL panels for the next row. Measure and cut the panel closest to the wall as necessary. Continue alternating RR and LL panels for the remainder of the room.
