Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
To measure your space accurately, you’ll need a tape measure or laser measure, a notepad, and a calculator.
For more considered projects, we recommend sketching a simple floor plan and noting key features such as alcoves, fireplaces, and fitted furniture to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Measure the full length and width of your room wall-to-wall, taking measurements at the widest points.
As walls are not always perfectly straight, it’s good practice to take multiple measurements across the room and use the largest figure for accuracy.
We recommend measuring in metres, as flooring is typically sold in square metres (m²), making calculations more precise and aligned with product specifications.
Calculating Your Flooring Area
Multiply the length by the width of your room to calculate the total area in square metres.
For example:
5m × 4m = 20m²
If you’re exploring options, you can browse our ranges of
engineered wood flooring, LVT flooring, or laminate flooring to understand pack sizes and coverage.
We recommend allowing an additional 5–10% to account for cuts, offcuts, and installation adjustments.
For patterned styles such as parquet flooring, or more complex layouts, a slightly higher allowance may be required to achieve a consistent finish.
Measuring Complex Spaces
Divide the room into smaller sections (rectangles or squares), measure each area individually, and combine the totals to calculate the full space.
This approach ensures every part of the room is accounted for, even in more complex layouts.
Measure each alcove, recess, or architectural detail separately and include these within your overall calculation.
We recommend sketching your layout clearly, noting each measurement for accuracy and ease of reference.
Practical Considerations
In addition to dimensions, it’s helpful to consider:
- Built-in furniture or kitchen islands
- Doorways and transitions between rooms
- Subfloor type (e.g. concrete or timber)
- Natural light and heat exposure
These factors can influence both installation and the suitability of different flooring types, including engineered wood and LVT flooring.
Accuracy & Support
Accurate measurements are essential to avoid delays, shortages, or unnecessary costs. We recommend measuring carefully, double-checking all dimensions, and allowing a small margin for precision.
You can measure your space yourself, but for complete confidence—particularly in larger or more complex rooms—a professional measure can provide added reassurance.
