Order area = length × width × (1 + waste%). Packs = order area ÷ coverage per pack, rounded up.
A 4 m × 3 m floor is 12 m². With 10% allowance and 2.2 m² per pack, order 6 packs.
Check the exact coverage printed on the flooring pack. Herringbone, diagonal layouts and small rooms can require more offcuts; irregular rooms should be broken into measured rectangles. Check product instructions for expansion gaps and underlay compatibility.
