Measure

Verify the room before package calculations.

  1. Save the floor measurements

    Keeps the footprint reusable across flooring tools.

    Open measurement →

  2. Calculate floor area

    Establishes the base floor area and perimeter so package calculations start from a verified geometry record.

  3. Check rectangle diagonals

    Useful as a geometry check before layout; it is not an installation tolerance standard.

Stage 2

Calculate

Estimate the primary floor system quantities.

  1. Estimate flooring packages

    Applies the selected coverage and waste allowance.

    Open tool →
