Flooring Waste Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Flooring Waste:

$FW = \frac{TA \times WR}{100}$

What is Flooring Waste?

Flooring waste refers to the leftover materials or debris generated during the installation, replacement, or repair of various types of flooring such as carpet, hardwood, laminate, tile, or vinyl. This can include offcuts, underlay, adhesives, packaging, and old flooring that has been removed. It is considered construction waste and needs to be disposed of properly, often through recycling or specialized waste management services.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Area $TA$ = 500 square feet
Waste Ratio $WR$ = 10%

Step 1: Multiply the TA by the WR:

$TA \times WR = 500 \times 10 = 5000$

Step 2: Divide the result by 100:

$FW = \frac{5000}{100} = 50$

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Area $TA$ = 750 square meters
Waste Ratio $WR$ = 15%

Step 1: Multiply the TA by the WR:

$TA \times WR = 750 \times 15 = 11250$

Step 2: Divide the result by 100:

$FW = \frac{11250}{100} = 112.50$
