Rooms
Boards run along the room length. Measure length in the direction you want the planks to point.
Cutouts no-floor areas — island, hearth, stairs, L-shape corner
Position is measured from the bottom-left corner of the room. For an L-shape or bump-out, size the room to the full rectangle and cut out the parts with no floor.
Transitions / doorways strips at edges (counted in materials)

Cut list

Row 1 is the first row you lay. Measurements rounded to 1/16″.

Estimates for planning only — always dry-lay a few rows and re-check measurements before you cut. Made with Hardwood Floor Hero.
