Unlike wood, laminate flooring is incredibly hard wearing and offers a wider range of styles at cheaper prices. Laminates also require less maintenance. Like measuring for wood, will need to measure your room across its widest points, take into account bay windows and door entrances.
To work out how many packs you will need, look at how your chosen laminate is sold. The pack will show how many square metres it will cover. Then divide your room into square metre sections and then this number by the quantity of square metres per pack. This will tell you how many packs you need, don't forget to add 10% to cover wastage and oddments (it is unlikely that the dimensions of your room will be exactly laid out as a square will walls to an exact number of metres). If you have taken your measurements in a different unit then we have listed a helpful conversion table below.
