MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT MEASUREMENTS, FIRST
How to Measure your Room
One of the first things we learnt when getting into the trade was - measure twice, cut once. It's been a golden rule since day-one! Here's how to get it right, the first time. We strongly recommend adding 10% wastage to your order.
1. Get Prepared
Get a tape measure or laser distance meter. You can also download an app (such as RoomScan Pro) that can use your phone or tablet camera to measure your room.
2. Take your Measurements
Measure the length and width of the room from wall to wall. You can split complex rooms into smaller, more easily measurable areas.
3. Get your Total Area
Multiply the length and the width of each room or area. Add the numbers together to get your total area.
Board widths and lengths do not always perfectly fit your rooms, so always expect to end up with offcuts.
The wastage allowance provides some breathing space in case you make any mistakes while installing.
Leftover boxes can not be returned but can be kept for future repairs or extensions.
