Example: 12 ft × 10 ft = 120 sq ft
Example using the measurements shown:
12 ft × 10 ft = 120 sq ft
8 ft × 6 ft = 48 sq ft
Total = 168 sq ft.
For a rectangular room, measure the longest length and width in feet and multiply them to estimate square footage. Include closets or connected areas that are part of the flooring project.
For an L-shaped or irregular room, divide the space into smaller rectangles. Calculate each section and add the totals together.
Make note of closets, doorways, transitions, stairs and adjoining rooms that connect to the flooring project. These details help Imperial Wood Floors understand the overall scope.
Measure in feet for the simplest square-footage calculation. If you measure in inches, divide each measurement by 12 to convert it to feet before multiplying length by width.
Divide the room into smaller rectangular sections. Measure the length and width of each section, calculate its area, and add the areas together.
Include closets that will receive hardwood flooring. Make note of doorways and transitions so Imperial Wood Floors can understand how the flooring connects to surrounding spaces.
If adjoining rooms are part of your hardwood flooring project, measure each room separately and add the square footage. Note where the rooms connect.
Divide the L shape into two non-overlapping rectangles. Multiply length by width for each rectangle and add the two areas. In the example shown, 120 + 48 = 168 square feet.
That is okay. Your measurements are a starting estimate, not a final installation quantity. Share what you have and Imperial Wood Floors can review the project details during the estimate process.
