Measure It Twice, Order It Right.
Measure the length and width of each room in feet. Then multiply the length by the width to calculate that room's square footage.
For example: If a bedroom is 12 feet by 20 feet, it's 240 square feet (12 x 20 = 240).
Use our handy calculator to get your measurements right the first time.

What to Do When Choosing the Flooring for You.
We know that choosing flooring can become confusing and exhausting. Our advice? Put some fun into it by mapping out your approach in advance so that you have a basic idea of what you're looking for in advance. Here are some things to think about as you go into picking flooring types, colours, and finishes.
Can I Install My New Floor Over An Existing Floor?
In short, not really. Layers can cause problems. The most common issue is floor height. Most homes, especially older ones, are not built with a really thick floor covering in mind. When additional layers are added, this can cause doors not to close properly and trim to look short. Plus, there is a warranty that you may void. Here's what we recommend.
Hire A Qualified Flooring Installer.
A quality flooring installer is equipped with the right tools and equipment, they have the training to assess space, including any difficulties that arise with angles in flooring installation. And they're insured, in case anything goes wrong.
The Importance of Smooth Floor Transitions.
The purpose of a floor transition is to not only make a cleaner looking seam between different types of flooring, but also to protect the edges of your flooring from damage due to wear and foot traffic - and to protect your toes.
Transition areas are places where walking surfaces change. The greater the difference in height between the two surfaces, the more likely it is to become damaged and trip you up.
