Calculate the size of your space

To calculate your outdoor area, multiply the length by the width. For example, width 3 m × 5 m = 15 m2. Calculate any areas to be subtracted from the total area, for example pillars or corners.

Calculate how many packages you need

Divide the sum by 0.81 and round up (to ensure enough floor decking). For example, 14.5 m2 ÷ 0.81 = 17.90. Rounded up, that means you need 18 packages.

Get going with ready-made calculations

When you have your total area of space, these calculations tell you how many flooring packages are needed to cover it.

The most common examples:
2 m2 needs 3 packages
5 m2 needs 7 packages
7 m2 needs 9 packages
10 m2 needs 13 packages
12 m2 needs 15 packages
18 m2 needs 23 packages
20 m2 needs 25 packages
25 m2 needs 31 packages
30 m2 needs 37 packages
