Calcola room square footage
Add 10% per waste (cuts, mistakes)

With 10% waste: 180 × 1.10 = 198 sq ft

Buy: 200 sq ft di flooring

Flooring Coverage

Hardwood boxes: Usually 20-25 sq ft/box
Laminate boxes: Usually 15-25 sq ft/box

Multiply da ceiling height
Subtract windows e doors
Risultato = wall square footage

Paint Coverage Rates

1 gallone covers ~350-400 sq ft
Most rooms need 2 coats
Account per multiple colors

Esempio

12' × 15' room con 8' ceilings:

Perimeter: (12+15+12+15) = 54 ft

Wall area: 54 × 8 = 432 sq ft

Minus doors/windows: ~50 sq ft

Paintable area: ~380 sq ft = 1 gallone (single coat)
