How to use it
- Calculate boxes: 35m² ÷ 2.1m²/box = 16.67 → 17 boxes
- Apply 5% waste: 17 x 1.05 = 17.85 → 18 boxes
- Calculate underlay: 35m² x 1.05 = 36.75m²
- Estimate skirting: room perimeter less 1m for door
Common mistakes
- ⚠️ Not leaving perimeter expansion gap (10-15mm)
- ⚠️ Not installing vapor barrier on damp subfloors
- ⚠️ Not acclimating the material for 48h before installation
