Feet to square feet calculator
If your measurements are already in feet, square footage is simple: multiply width by length. For example, a 10 ft by 12 ft room is 120 sq ft before waste or extra material.
Tile square footage calculator
For tile installation, calculate the floor or wall area first, then add extra material for cuts, layout, grout lines and patterns. Bathroom tile and backsplash areas often need careful measurement.
Flooring square footage calculator Calgary
Calgary flooring projects often include vinyl plank, glue down vinyl, tile, laminate, carpet replacement and basement flooring. Use this calculator before requesting a flooring estimate.
How much flooring do I need?
Start by measuring each room separately. For a rectangular room, multiply the width by the length to get the base square footage. If the room has closets, hallways or irregular sections, measure those areas separately and add them together.
For most flooring replacement projects, ordering only the exact square footage is not enough. Vinyl plank, laminate and tile usually need extra material for cuts, damaged pieces, pattern layout and future repairs. A simple room may need about 5% extra, while tile work, angled rooms or complicated layouts may need 10% to 15%.
If you are planning vinyl plank installation, glue down vinyl, bathroom tile installation or subfloor repair in Calgary, accurate measurements help estimate material cost and labour more clearly before the project starts.

How do I calculate square feet from inches?
Multiply width by length in inches, then divide the result by 144. This converts square inches into square feet.
