Flooring Buying Guide

Measuring Your Room

Measure the longest length and widest width of the room, including any alcoves or recesses. For irregular shapes, break into rectangles and calculate each separately. Add all areas together.

Acclimatisation

Most wood and laminate flooring needs to acclimatise to your home's temperature and humidity for 48–72 hours before installation. Keep it in the room where it will be laid, flat on the floor.

Underlay

Most laminate and LVT needs underlay for comfort, warmth, and noise reduction. Some products have pre-attached underlay. Add 5–10% to underlay quantities using the same waste rule.
