How to Measure Your Laminate Floor

Please add 5% wastage to your calculations.

The majority of floor manufacturers as well as fitters recommend a minimum of 5% wastage when ordering a wood floor, this will hopefully allow for those small mistakes and complicated cuts. Sometimes on occasions there are small pieces that cannot be used anywhere without spoiling the look of the floor.
