How Much Wastage Do I Need?

For wood, laminate and lvt, there will be waste due to the condition of the material, installation process and the experience level of the fitter. All manufacturers and retailers recommend that a percentage waste factor is added to the total quantity of flooring required to ensure that there is enough to complete the job, the manufacturers generally recommend 10% but this can vary so get in touch should you need to check. We would recommend that your fitter does a final measurement, including the wastage, before purchasing, should you have to return or order more, costs may be involved.
