Measuring for stone floors is easy enough when you use FindAnyFloor.com's Quick Click floor estimator tool. All you need is the measurements of the installation area's perimeter (i.e. length of each wall) and the floor estimator tool can help with the rest.
FindAnyFloor.com features both a basic and advanced floor estimator tool tailored to your room needs. For example, if you're installing stone floors in the bathroom, you'll need to factor in stationary objects such as the toilet bathtub, and cabinets. These angles could require the use of the Advanced Floor Estimator Tool, which allows you to configure the installation area to its exact dimensions. Once you've used the floor estimator tool to measure for your stone floors, you can print out the result for your convenience.
The basic floor estimator tool is for more straight-forward installation areas, such as dining rooms and living rooms. The amount of stone floors you'll need for your installation project also depends on whether or not you install the stone tiles diagonally. Note that installing stone floors diagonally increases the waste factor to 15%. If you're an eco-conscious consumer and want to conserve as much stone flooring material as possible, plan on laying your floor straight. This will keep the waste factor under 10%.
