Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How much flooring waste is normal?+

Use 7–10% for a rectangular room with a straight layout. Increase to 12–15% for diagonal layouts, closets, alcoves, or many short runs.

Should I subtract cabinets?+

Subtract permanent cabinets only when flooring will not run underneath. Do not subtract small fixtures because offcuts rarely match those spaces perfectly.
