Calculation of the amount of laminate flooring
Calculation of the amount of laminate flooring
An online laminate calculator will help you calculate the required amount of laminate for flooring. The dimensions of the room, the dimensions of the laminate planks, the number of planks in the package and the margin for trimming and possible defects are taken into account.
The laminate calculator uses precise formulas to calculate the amount of material taking into account the type of room, installation method and working conditions. Suitable for calculating various classes of laminate: 31, 32, 33, 34 classes. Calculation formula: Total number of planks = (Room area / Area of one plank) × (1 + Stock / 100).
Let's look at practical examples of calculating the amount of laminate for various rooms and classes of laminate:

Using a laminate calculator provides many advantages when planning renovations: accurate calculation of the amount of material, saving money, planning purchases, minimizing waste.
The calculator uses proven formulas taking into account all the parameters of the room and the type of laminate to obtain an accurate result.
Correct calculation allows you to avoid waste of material and unnecessary costs for purchasing unnecessary laminate.
Knowing in advance the required amount of laminate, you can plan the budget and purchase of materials for repairs.
The calculation allows you to properly prepare the material and facilitate the process of laying the laminate.
To get an accurate result, follow our recommendations when calculating the laminate.
To calculate the laminate, measure the length and width of the room, select the size of the laminate planks and indicate the number of planks in the package. The calculator will automatically calculate the required number of packages, taking into account the trimming margin.
For a standard room 4x3 meters with laminate 128x19.2 cm, you need approximately 7-8 packages (8 planks per package), taking into account a 10% margin. The exact quantity depends on the size of the room and the size of the slats.
The laminate class depends on the load: 31 class - for bedrooms, 32 class - for residential premises, 33 class - for offices and kitchens, 34 class - for commercial premises with high traffic.
A margin of 10-15% is recommended for regular installation and 15-20% for diagonal installation or complex shapes. The reserve takes into account trimming, defects and possible errors during installation.
For the kitchen, measure the floor area. Use a moisture-resistant laminate that is rated 33 or higher. Add a margin of 15% for trimming and possible defects.
The laminate class determines its wear resistance: class 31 - minimal load, class 32 - medium load, class 33 - high load, class 34 - very high load.
For the hallway, measure the floor area. Consider complex shapes and angles. It is recommended to use laminate class 33-34 for high traffic. Add a margin of 15%.
The number of planks in a package depends on the size of the planks and the manufacturer. Usually there are 6-9 planks in a package, which covers an area of 1.5-2.5 m². The exact information is indicated on the packaging.
When laying diagonally, consumption increases by 15-20% compared to straight laying. Increase your supply of material and use the calculator to account for the additional cost.
Yes, an underlay for laminate flooring is required. It provides sound insulation, evens out minor unevenness in the floor and extends the life of the laminate.
For a bedroom, measure the floor area. Use laminate class 31-32. Add a 10% margin for normal styling. Consider the direction of installation to visually expand the space.
The cost of laminate depends on the class, manufacturer and design. Class 32 laminate costs from 300 to 1500 rubles/m², class 33 laminate costs from 500 to 2500 rubles/m². Calculate the area and multiply by the price per m².
For the living room, measure the floor area. Choose laminate class 32-33 depending on traffic. Add a 10% margin for normal styling.
Moisture-resistant laminate has a special treatment to protect it from moisture. It is suitable for kitchens, hallways and other rooms with high humidity. The calculation of the quantity is the same.
For a nursery, measure the floor area. Use eco-friendly laminate rated 32 or higher. Add a 10% margin for normal styling.
When calculating laminate flooring, windows and doors are not taken into account, since the laminate is laid over the entire floor area. But be aware of the need for trimming around doorways.
For a hallway, measure the length and width. Consider complex shapes and angles. It is recommended to use laminate class 33-34 for high traffic. Add a margin of 15%.
Laminate flooring imitates wood flooring, but has all the advantages of laminate: ease of installation, wear resistance, and affordable price. The calculation of the quantity is the same.
For an office, measure the floor area. Use class 33-34 laminate for high traffic. Add a 15% margin for commercial premises.
The number of laminate planks per 1 m² depends on the size of the planks. For example, planks 128x19.2 cm cover approximately 0.25 m², which means about 4 planks are needed per 1 m².
For a balcony, measure the floor area. Use a moisture-resistant laminate that is rated 33 or higher. Consider temperature changes. Add a margin of 15% for complex shapes.
Yes, be sure to buy laminate with a 10-15% margin for trimming, defects and possible errors. The stock will help to avoid a situation where several strips are missing.
For a studio, measure the floor area. Choose laminate class 32-33 depending on traffic. Add a 10% margin for normal styling.
Laminate vinyl (LVT) is a moisture-resistant PVC floor covering. It has high wear resistance and is suitable for wet areas. The calculation of the quantity is the same.
Laminate flooring is not usually used for toilets due to moisture. If you still need to, use a moisture-resistant laminate of class 33 or higher. Add a margin of 15%.
The thickness of the laminate affects its strength and sound insulation. The recommended thickness is 7-12 mm for residential premises. The calculation of the quantity does not depend on the thickness.
For a bedroom with a balcony, calculate the floor area of the bedroom and the balcony separately. Use different classes of laminate: for the bedroom - class 32, for the balcony - class 33.
Quartz vinyl laminate (SPC) is a durable, moisture-resistant coating with the addition of quartz. It has high wear resistance and is suitable for commercial premises. The calculation of the quantity is the same.
For an apartment, calculate the area of each room separately. Use different classes of laminate for different rooms. Add up the results for the total number of packages.
For laminate, a 2-3 mm thick polyethylene foam backing or cork backing is recommended. The substrate does not affect the calculation of the amount of laminate.
