How To Measure Your Home
1. Measure the length and width of the room in feet. Multiply these two numbers together to get the square feet of the
room. For instance, if your room is 20 ft. by 25 ft., the square footage would be 500 square feet. You must
then add 10% to that number for waste, as you will need it to properly stagger the joints. In the case of our
20x25 room, you would need to add 50 ft. to the total, meaning you would need to order 550 sq ft for that room.
Add all your rooms together to get the total amount you will need to order.
2. Divide the total square feet you will need by the number of square feet in each box. 12mm Old Homestead Floors
contains 20 sq ft per box. 8.3mm Old Homestead Floors contains 25.2 sq ft per box.
After you do that, you will normally end up with a fractional number of boxes. For instance, if you needed 550 sq ft
and were ordering the 12mm Old Homestead Floors, you would
come out to 27.5 boxes. It is a good idea to round up
to the next box. That means 28 boxes would be ordered.
3. Use the actual square footage (not including the 10% waste) to determine how much pad you will need. Each roll
is 500 square feet. You must buy in complete rolls. In the case of our 500 sf room, you would need 1 roll.
4. If you will be ordering quarter round or baseboard, you will need to measure the perimeter of the room in linear
feet, to determine the number of sticks you will need. Take the total number of feet needed and divide by 8 as
each stick of quarter round and baseboard is 8 feet long. In the case of our 20X25 feet room, you would need 90
linear feet. Then, add a minimum of 10% for miscuts, bringing your number to 99 linear feet needed. Divide that
number by 8 (the length in feet of the sticks), and you come to 12.375 sticks. Round up, again, and order 13 in
this case.
5. Transition pieces. Measure any of the following areas to determine how many sticks of each you will need. Each
transition piece comes in 6 ft. sections, with track.
End Cap (also called Carpet Reducer)
is needed at each external door, sliding glass door, or against carpet.
Reducer (also called Hard Surface Reducer) is needed at linoleum/vinyl, or anytime there is a difference
of more than 1/8 in. between the laminate and an adjacent floor.
T Molding is needed from laminate to laminate (when changing the direction of the pattern or
allowing for additional expansion room), or to transition to tile. Anytime a hard surface is within 1/8 in. of
being the same height as the laminate, you will use a T molding.
Stairnose is needed at the nose of each stair where the tread meets the riser. It is also needed in sunken rooms.

| Laminate Flooring 101... |
My great-grandfather always used to say, Seeing
is believing. He and my grandfather spent most of their lives (over 75 years
of combined experience) either installing or maintaining wood floors throughout
the US. When asked, “What are the best floors on the market,”
they would both say, “If you know what to look for, you will be able
to determine the quality of the laminate flooring.”
Growing up with this concept I can now pass this experience on to you…
the consumer.
