How to Measure for Stone Floors

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%.

I'm installing stone floors in my hallway as your walk into my front door. I needed some help on how to do this so I found you. I used your floor estimator tool for my floor measurements and it made my do it your self project much easier. In my hallway I have two sets of stairs that head up. I entered in my floor measurements in the Advanced Floor Estimator Tool and it allowed me to configure everything into its exact dimensions. It was very helpful. Anyone at home installing new flooring like stone slabs or anything else... Laminate, Vinyl, Hardwood, anything..This tool really helps.
