Area is not a cut pattern
Two spaces with the same area can produce different edge cuts and different ordering needs.
About Calcufloor
Flooring quantities from layout, not assumptions.
Calcufloor is a layout-based flooring piece count calculator. It places boards or tiles digitally, includes perimeter cuts, and derives counts from the resulting layout.
No email. No account. Open and use.
Why it exists
Area does not show the cut pattern at the perimeter. Quantity is driven by room geometry and layout choices (direction, offset/stagger, start position).
Cuts drive quantity
The simulated layout shows where cuts occur and how much of the material becomes cut pieces.
Edge balance matters
Start/end row widths can be adjusted to avoid narrow edge strips that look bad and are harder to install cleanly.
When to use Calcufloor
Use it when you need to see edges, cuts, and first/last rows before you order.
After the estimate
If you already have an m² number, use Calcufloor to see the layout outcome and derive counts from the cut result.
When edges matter
It balances start/end rows to avoid narrow strips and shows the perimeter result before you order.
When the room is not a rectangle
Any room shape with cutouts. The layout adapts to the geometry instead of forcing the geometry into rectangles.
How to use it
Enter the space, enter the product, then read the result from the layout outcome.
1
Define the space
Draw the room as its real outline and add cutouts that affect the perimeter result.
2
Enter product inputs and layout rules
Enter plank or tile dimensions and choose the layout behavior (straight, diagonal, offset/stagger).
3
Set the start position, then read the count from the layout
Shift the start position to balance edges, then use the layout-derived count as your baseline.
Add your own buffer for breakage and future repairs.
Layout preview
Set plank or tile size, choose layout behavior, then review perimeter cuts before ordering.
What it is not
Scope boundaries.
Not an installation guide
It does not replace manufacturer requirements for expansion gaps, minimum stagger, substrate prep, or approved systems.
Not a lead-capture gate
It does not require an account or an email to see results. The layout and counts are available immediately.
Not "m² + 10%"
A fixed percentage does not reflect the cut pattern created by the layout. Calcufloor shows the cut outcome; you add your own buffer for breakage, defects, and future repairs.
Common questions
Concise answers.
What is Calcufloor?
A layout-based flooring piece count calculator for tiles and planks. It places pieces digitally, includes cuts, and derives counts from the layout result.
Who is it for?
Installers, contractors, and DIY users who need layout-based piece counts and a clear view of perimeter cuts.
Do I need an account or email?
No. Results are available immediately. No account. No email.
How is this different from "m² + 10%"?
A fixed overage percentage does not reflect the cut pattern created by the layout.
Calcufloor derives counts from the simulated layout outcome instead of applying an area
multiplier.
Does it work for any room shape?
Yes. You define the room as its real outline and add cutouts. It is not limited to
rectangles, L-shapes, or U-shapes.
Does Calcufloor tell me the "correct" waste percentage?
No. Calcufloor shows the cut outcome from the layout. You set the final buffer for breakage, defects, and future repairs.
Does it replace manufacturer installation rules?
No. Follow manufacturer requirements first.
Calcufloor is for layout planning (start/end rows, stagger/offset behavior) and ordering
counts derived from that layout.
Is this just m² plus a waste percentage?
No. Calcufloor builds a layout and derives counts from the perimeter cuts and cutouts in that layout.
Use the tool
Start with a layout outcome, then order from the derived count.
Open a layout
Choose planks or tiles, define the space, then review the simulated cuts and edge results.
