How it works
The same method MILAT recommends to installers
The calculator multiplies each room's length by its width in metres and adds the rooms together. L-shaped or irregular rooms are easiest to handle as two or three rectangles entered separately; alcoves, bays and the floor under a kitchen island count as floor area even if they will be partly covered.
It then adds a waste allowance for the cuts at the walls: 5% for a straight lay, 10% for diagonal patterns or rooms with many corners, 15% for herringbone. Finally it divides by the m² printed on the carton and rounds up to the next whole box, with one spare box from the same batch if you keep that option on — the plank you need in five years should come from the batch on your floor today.
The result is an order quantity, not a quote. For a price, lead time and the exact m² per box of a specific MILAT design, send the figure with the design name to our team and you will receive a written quote with the specification sheet.
FAQ
SPC flooring quantities — frequently asked questions
How much waste should I add for SPC flooring?
Add 5% for a simple straight lay, about 10% for irregular rooms or a diagonal pattern, and up to 15% for herringbone, where the angled cuts at every wall waste more plank. The calculator applies these allowances automatically.
How many m² are in a box of SPC flooring?
It depends on the product and plank format, so the calculator asks for it rather than guessing. The figure is printed on the carton label and on the product specification sheet; MILAT's sales team confirms it with every quote.
Should I order a spare box?
Yes. Keep at least one sealed box from the same batch for future repairs — a replacement plank bought later may come from a different production batch and differ slightly in shade.
Can I use this calculator for SPC wall panels?
The method is the same: measure the wall area, add 5–10% for cutting waste and divide by the coverage of one panel. A MILAT 960 × 2800 mm wall panel covers 2.688 m², so a 10 m² wall with 10% waste needs 5 panels.
Can I order by square metre instead of boxes?
Flooring is supplied in sealed cartons, so a quantity requested in m² is rounded up to whole boxes. The calculator shows both numbers so the order and the invoice match.
