Before ordering your stone tiles or engineered oak flooring, you will need to work out how much you need. Our products are sold by the square metre or multiples thereof to the nearest tile or plank.
If the room is square or oblong, then it is very quick and easy to work out the size of the area. Simply measure the length and width in metres (m) from wall to wall, multiply one by the other and this will give you the answer.
Example: if your room is 4.60m long and 3.75m wide, this is 4.6 x 3.75 = 17.25 so you require 17.25 square metres. We recommend that you add on 10% for cutting, wasteage and selection of material so this means another 1.725 square metres which equals 18.975 square metres. For ease, round it up or down to the nearest decimal point (18.9 or 19 square metres). You are now ready to order your natural stone tiles or engineered oak!
If your room is not oblong, it is best to draw it on a piece of paper first, then try and divide it into square/oblong areas. Measure each of these areas and then multiply the square metres for each. Add them all together and then add your wasteage to get a total.
For smaller areas such as bathroom floors or walls, it is wise to try and draw the room to scale and to fit in to the drawing the tile sizes required as the amounts required can vary according to the tile size.
