Measure the square footage of the room(s) where your new flooring will be installed.
Add 10% to your total square footage to account for cutting, installation errors and
variation in floor design.
Divide the total required square footage by the number of square feet covered per
carton of the floor you are installing. (Note: square foot coverage may vary by decor.)
Optional: We recommend that you buy one to two extra cartons of laminate or
hardwood, so if there is ever any damage to the floor in the future, you will be
able to easily replace the damaged boards with an exact match.
All laminate and floating engineered wood floors require underlayment. If pad is not attached, use the required square footage determined for your flooring
and divide by the number of square feet covered by each package of underlayment to get the number of packages you will need for your project.
NOTE: When installing laminate or engineered hardwood over concrete you must use a moisture barrier. If pad is already attached, you will need to purchase a moisture
barrier. If pad is not attached, you can use a combination underlayment with moisture protection included. We recommend Pergo

leading moisture protection and sound insulation (100 sq ft per package).
Determine the perimeter of your room: add the length and width measurements of all sides of room together. Measure the width of each archway and doorway, and add together. Subtract the total of the doorway widths from the
room perimeter to determine the total required length of wall trim and quarter round moulding.
Floating installation whether laminate or hardwood require transition mouldings in doorways. For laminate flooring, Lowes oers 4-in-1 moulding kits (includes t-moulding / hard surface reducer / end moulding / carpet transition). Lowes oers
individual transition sticks for hardwood flooring (t-moulding / reducer).
4-in-1 Mouldings: Add the doorway widths together and divide by 6.56 feet, then round up. This will tell you how
many 4-in-1 moulding kits you will need. One kit measures 6.56 feet.
Individual Transition Sticks: Add the doorway widths together and divide by length of transition. This will give you the
number of individual transition moulding sticks you will need.
