EXPLAINER
Why These Inputs Matter
Vinyl flooring is sold in full boxes. Inputs like wastage and underlay ensure accurate purchasing without stalling installation or incurring double delivery fees.
- Why Wastage % Changes the Price
Trimming planks along room borders produces offcuts. Adding 5%–15% wastage ensures full row completion. - Why Underlay Affects the Total
Underlay protects against subfloor moisture and noise transmission, giving an all-inclusive estimate. - Why m² is Standard
Box dimensions vary per design. Square meters standardizes accurate price comparison.
What Affects Your Price
- Product Range: Thickness and surface AC rating.
- Wastage Factor: Complex layouts need higher allowance.
- Underlay: Acoustic vs standard damp-proof foam.
- Room Size: Total m² rounded up to full boxes.
