Step 1:

Find Square Footage:

Room exists in different shapes and sizes. so it is better to find the overall square footage of the room and this must be done before the measurement of the flooring.

Step 2: Identify the Permanent Structure

It’s important to take into account the permanent features of the space, such as closets, stairways, and kitchen islands, when determining the flooring proportions. Each permanent structure in the space where you wish to lay flooring should have its width and length measured. The breadth times the length will give you the object’s (or structure’s) square footage. Subtract from the total square footage of the room the floor space of the area that doesn’t require flooring.

Step 3: Add all spaces

You must do the first two stages for each room you intend to add flooring to before you submit your square footage for flooring. The square footage of your area as a whole may be calculated by adding the total square footage of all the rooms.

Step 4: Include waste

In each area where you’re placing the flooring, you’ll need to cut it along the walls and other fixed objects. Add about 15% as a buffer after you get your final measurement. Even if you need to make cuts, revisions, or account for mistakes, having additional flooring will guarantee that it can be fitted correctly and comfortably inside the area.
