Calculate number of M2 and cutting loss of floors
Are you ready to calculate how many square meters you need to fill the space with the floor of your dreams? Then it is necessary to take a few elements into account. For example, calculating the required square meters of flooring depends on how and where you want the floor to be laid. Are you going to lay the floor in multiple rooms? Then it is desirable to calculate the required number of square meters per room. Do you have a living room of 9m by 4m and a hallway of 1.5m by 4m? Then you calculate the area per room and add them together. In this case, you have a living room of 36m2 and a hallway of 6m2, totaling 42m2. However, you're not done yet. Depending on the type of floor, you still need to add the cutting loss percentage to this (see the overview below per type of floor).
Laminate cutting loss
When it comes to laminate flooring, it's important to consider the pattern you intend to lay when calculating potential cutting waste. We have categorized this into the following patterns with their corresponding waste percentages.
Straight Laminate – 7 to 10% cutting waste
Herringbone Laminate – 15 to 18% cutting waste
Cutting loss Click PVC
The distribution of cutting loss percentages for Click PVC works a little differently than, for example, laminate. For Click PVC, we have chosen to distribute the cutting loss percentage by the type of Click PVC floor.
Straight Click PVC – 7 to 10% cutting loss
Herringbone Click PVC – 15 to 18% cutting loss
Tile Click PVC – 10% cutting loss
Cutting loss Slice PVC
Are you considering purchasing a glued down PVC floor for your home or office? If so, it's essential to account for cutting waste. How much exactly? You can read about it below for each type of glued down PVC floor.
Straight Plank PVC – 7 to 10% cutting waste
Herringbone PVC and Whalebone PVC – 10% cutting waste
Tile PVC – 10% cutting waste
Cutting Waste Oak Parquet
Are you considering purchasing an Oak Parquet floor for your home or office? Then it is also necessary to take cutting loss into account. How much exactly? You can read about that below, per type of Oak Parquet.
Multiplank floor – 10% cutting loss
Herringbone wooden floor – 18 to 20%
