What's "flooring"?
The boards or planks you install over your subfloor to cover it — laminate, vinyl plank, or hardwood. They click, glue, or nail together and are sold in boxes, each covering a set number of square feet. Looking for ceramic or porcelain tile instead? Use the Tile Calculator.

Flooring is sold in boxes — check the carton for how many square feet one box covers (laminate ~20, vinyl plank ~24, hardwood ~20).
Estimate only. These figures help you plan how much to buy — they are not engineering or structural advice. Actual needs vary with site conditions, waste, and installation method, so order a little extra and confirm final quantities with your supplier or contractor before you buy or start the job.
