What's the right amount of flooring to order — and what happens if you get it wrong? Most people assume you just measure the room and buy that amount. That's where the trouble starts. Here's a quick breakdown: 🔹 Always order more than your measurements say A standard rule is to add 10% on top of your square footage. For diagonal installs or rooms with a lot of cuts and angles, go closer to 15%. Offcuts, mistakes, and waste add up faster than you'd expect. 🔹 Matching later is harder than you think Flooring comes in production runs. The box you buy today may not be available six months from now — and even if it is, the colour and texture can vary slightly between batches. Running short means gambling on a match. 🔹 Keep the leftovers Once your floor is installed, hold onto whatever planks remain. If a board ever gets damaged — a deep scratch, water damage, a repair gone wrong — you'll have an exact match ready to go. Without it, you're starting from scratch. 🔹 Room shape matters more than square footage alone Long, narrow hallways. Closets. Stairs. Odd angles. Each of these eats into your material differently than a clean, square room. Measuring the total area doesn't tell the full story. Getting the quantity right isn't complicated — but it does require knowing what to account for before you order. At RM Flooring, we calculate everything for you before a single box is purchased. No shortfalls. No scrambling. What room are you planning to floor next? 👇
