Materials Calculator
A good online materials calculator can be an invaluable tool for any hardwood flooring project. Flooring calculators help you determine the square footage of the area you are working on so you know exactly how much materials you will need. It's important to remember that exact square footage isn't always available at hardwood flooring retail outlets. Some retailers sell by the bundle, so make sure to purchase more square footage than you actually need. It's always better to have materials left over than to not have enough to finish the project.
Pros: Exact measurements give you the exact amount of materials you will need.
Cons: Does not work with exact floor dimensions. Doesn't account for installation mistakes.
Use If: You are starting a new flooring project and are unsure about how much material you will need.
