Gather the necessary tools<\/h3>\n<p>Precision is of the utmost importance in bringing your dream hardwood floor to life. Having the right tools on hand can help you measure your floor so you can order with confidence. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An accurate 25-35\u2019 measuring tape<\/li>\n<li>A pencil such as a carpentry pencil works best<\/li>\n<li>Optional: A diagram of the floor plan<\/li>\n<li>Optional: A friend or a family member who can help you measure larger areas. While it\u2019s definitely possible to measure flooring area solo, it\u2019s much easier to do so with a partner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Measure the square footage of your room(s)<\/h3>\n<p>Hardwood flooring is sold by square foot, so it\u2019s important to measure the floor area accurately to make sure you order everything you need. Most rooms in modern homes are simple rectangles or squares, making for easy calculations: just multiply the room length, baseboard-to-baseboard, by its width. Buying flooring across multiple rooms? Just add them together to find the total area.<\/p>\n<p>One trick to make the process simpler and stress-free is to divide the floor area into smaller rectangles or squares. That lets you measure and calculate the area of each section, then add them up to find the total area of the room. Don\u2019t forget to include any closets!<\/p>\n<p>No two homes are alike, so don\u2019t worry if the room you need to measure has a more complex contour. You can still roughly divide it into smaller rectangles or squares to provide an accurate estimate. If you\u2019re having difficulty imagining, it\u2019s a good idea to refer to your floor plan or do a simple sketch yourself. When in doubt, round up.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to take multiple measurements of each space to make sure your measurement is accurate. You know what they say: measure twice, order once.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-43822 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Measurement-Tape_Floor-Plan_pencil_Resized.jpeg\" alt=\"Measuring Room\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Measurement-Tape_Floor-Plan_pencil_Resized.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Measurement-Tape_Floor-Plan_pencil_Resized-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Measurement-Tape_Floor-Plan_pencil_Resized-1024x577.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Measurement-Tape_Floor-Plan_pencil_Resized-768x433.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Measurement-Tape_Floor-Plan_pencil_Resized-350x197.jpeg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Factor in extra flooring needs<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s always better to have extra flooring than risk having too little and stopping installation partway through to order new boards. That\u2019s especially true if you\u2019re selecting a distinctive custom stain, texture, or grain pattern, which can take longer to produce and runs the risk of not matching your first order exactly.<\/p>\n<p>When measuring your rooms\u2019 square footage, start by rounding all your measurements up. Then, add in two extra columns: waste factor and attic allowance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43823\" style=\"width: 437px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-43823 size-be_inspired_grid_bc\" src=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Engineered-Walnut_Herringbone_12216-437x590.jpg\" alt=\"Carlisle Engineered Walnut Herringbone Flooring\" width=\"437\" height=\"590\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/our-floors\/prefinished-walnut-flooring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prefinished Walnut<\/a> \u2502Herringbone \u2502ID#12216<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The waste factor typically runs from about 5-10%, but depends on the width of your hardwood flooring boards and the installation itself. For example, a straight lay installation would use a 10% waste factor, but an installation with many angled wall lines, very wide flooring planks, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/blog\/herringbone-vs-chevron\/\">herringbone or chevron pattern<\/a> might increase the waste factor to 10-15%. If you have a specific vision for your dream floor, with limited color variation or particular color tones, it\u2019s best to order additional waste closer to 20%. That way, you can ensure that every single floorboard fits your creative fantasy without worrying about logistics. When in doubt, don\u2019t hesitate to double-check your waste factor with a flooring professional before placing your order.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s an \u201cattic allowance\u201d of flooring? These are extra boards that can come in handy in the event of repairs. Ordering the additional allowance at the same time as the primary floorboards ensures that they will slot in seamlessly, and repairs will be totally undetected. Make sure to store these boards in an area with controlled humidity to keep them in good shape until they\u2019re needed. While it might seem unnecessary, having these extra boards on hand in case of unexpected events such as moisture damage can help avoid the headache of trying to match replacement wood boards with your existing floors.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Add it all up and purchase<\/h3>\n<p>Once you know the square footage of the room, just add in the waste factor and attic allowance, and you\u2019ve got the right amount of flooring to buy. You can now place your order with certainty and get ready to have the floor of your dreams installed in your home. If you\u2019re having doubts about your measurements, it\u2019s never a bad idea to consult a trusted <a href=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/products\/collections\/\">wood flooring<\/a> professional to check over your work.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Measuring Flooring Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Measuring flooring might not be the most creative or fun task in home design, but it\u2019s one of the most straightforward ways to streamline the flooring process and reduce the risk of unexpected obstacles to installation. With these four steps in mind, measuring flooring and ordering the right amount of square footage will be a breeze. Of course, there is one last step to take: basking in the splendor of your magnificent hardwood floor, truly appreciating every board and square foot it took to craft it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43826\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43826\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-43826 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Aquila_12238_1280.jpg\" alt=\"Carlisle Aquila Flooring\" width=\"1280\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Aquila_12238_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Aquila_12238_1280-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Aquila_12238_1280-1024x628.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Aquila_12238_1280-768x471.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Aquila_12238_1280-350x215.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TRG Architects \u2502 Artistic Designs For Living \u2502<a href=\"https:\/\/wideplankflooring.com\/product\/collections\/traditional\/aquila\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aquila<\/a> \u2502 ID#12238<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying new hardwood floors for your home is one of the most exciting decisions a homeowner can make.
