How To Measure Floor Area Easily And Precisely
Measuring your home or workspace floors is the most crucial step of upgrading them with a new covering, be it hard floorings or soft ones. While you can always hire floor measurement service Dubai, Parquet Texture Dubai is here to make DIY measurements easy for you for a smooth DIY experience.
Step 1: Measuring Room Length And Width
Start by measuring the length of your room using a tape measure, followed by gauging the width. Multiply both figures and you will get the total area of your room. You can consider the measurements in either square foot or square meter. For example, if your room is 12 feet wide and 12 feet long, then its area will be 144 square feet. Alternatively, you can also make use of a flooring sq meter calculator Dubai, so as to avoid any errors.
Step 2: Subtracting All Obstructions
Next up, you will need to take any and all obstructions in the room into account. These refer to areas that won’t be covered with the new hard or soft flooring, such as built-in cabinets, shelves or a fireplace. Measure how much space any such obstruction takes and subtract it from the total room square footage that you obtained earlier. Doing so will help prevent excessive purchases and will streamline your overall budget as well.
Step 3: Calculating For Wastage & Extras
Lastly, you have to add a waste percentage to the total square footage of your room, in order to cover for any errors and/or cuts. Besides, this also helps with any repairs or replacements needed in the future; you can easily conduct the repair using the extra material and won’t need to rush to the market or be concerned about finding the exact matching planks/tiles/sheets.
The waste percentage should be 5% to 10%, which is to say that you have to add around 5% to 10% to the total square footage of your room.
- For 5%: Multiply the total room square footage by 1.05.
- For 10%: Multiply the total room square footage by 1.10.
