It’s impossible to know the cost of a new floor without knowing how much of it you need. Unless you’re a math's whizz, it can be pretty daunting to start measuring your room, so we have a simple method you can use.

If your room is a rectangle, this is as simple as measuring the length and width of your room and multiplying them together. Therefore if your room is 6 meters long and 3 meters wide, the area will be 18 meters square because 6 x 3 = 18

If your room isn’t rectangular, we recommend splitting it into rectangular sections. Multiply the width and length of each rectangle together to find the area. Then, add the areas of each rectangle together to find the total area. If you have an L shaped room, for example, this can be split into 2 rectangles.

And if you’ve got a complicated room, this method still works. Simply split the room into as many rectangles as needed. Multiply the length and width of each rectangle to find the areas, then add them all together to find the total area. (Remember to jot down the measurements as you go along!)
