Work out laminate flooring packs instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Pack count is the area plus wastage divided by coverage per pack, rounded up. Allow 5% wastage in a simple rectangular room, 10% with diagonal laying or many alcoves, and buy one extra pack for future repairs since batches vary in shade.
Flooring packs
packs = ceil(area x (1 + wastage) / coverage per pack)
5% for a plain rectangle, 10% for irregular rooms, and 15% for diagonal or herringbone patterns.
Dye lots differ between production batches. A pack kept from the original order is the only way to match a later repair.
