How many boxes of flooring do I need?
Measure every room you're covering, add the areas together, then add 8% for end-of-row cuts, plank staggering, and the occasional damaged board. Divide by the coverage printed on your product's box — laminate and vinyl plank boxes typically cover about 20 ft², but it varies from 14 to 30. Round up to whole boxes; leftover planks are your repair stash.
