A SIMPLE ROOM PLAN
How to measure a room for flooring.
Bring a tape measure, paper and a pencil. Sketch the shape, measure each part and use the calculator below for an approximate floor area in square metres.
YOUR SPACE / A ROUGH STARTING POINT
Put a number
to your room.
Choose the shape, add your measurements and work out the approximate floor area. Keep your sketch alongside the result.
Measure the shape, as well as the size.
Sketch the room.
Draw the outline and mark doors, alcoves, bay windows and fixed features. Make a separate sketch for each room and show where rooms connect.
Divide awkward shapes into sections.
A square or rectangle needs one section. Split an L-shaped room into two separate rectangles, and a T-shaped or U-shaped room into as many rectangles as needed. Add triangles for angled bays or corners. Draw the dividing lines so no floor area is counted twice.
Measure every part.
For each rectangle, record its length and width. For a triangle, record its base and perpendicular height at 90°, not the sloping side. Include doorways and recesses where the flooring will run, as separate sections where needed. Use the same units for every measurement and check them again.
Keep the sketch with your result.
Bring your approximate area, labelled sketch, room photos and flooring ideas to Farrells. One area figure does not explain a room’s shape. Ask how final measurements and the order quantity will be checked, especially for stairs, curves and complex landings.
An L-shaped room
Split at the inside corner. Measure each rectangle separately and add their areas, without overlap.
(4 × 3) + (2 × 1.5) = 15 m²A T-shaped room
Measure the full top bar, then the stem below it. For a U-shaped room, divide it into three rectangles.
(4 × 1.5) + (2 × 2) = 10 m²An angled bay or corner
Split the outline into rectangles and triangles. A triangle’s height is straight across from its base at 90°, not along the sloping side.
(4 × 3) + (2 × 1 ÷ 2) = 13 m²Illustrative plans, not to scale. A square or rectangle measuring 4 m × 3 m has an area of 12 m². For curves, stairs or complex landings, bring a sketch and ask for a measurement check.
Before you order
Room area is not the amount to order. Roll or pack sizes, layout, joins, pattern matching and fitting allowances can affect the quantity. Have the final measurements and order quantity checked by the appropriate flooring professional.
