📏 Common Material Widths
| Material Type | Standard Widths | Typical Wastage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardwood Flooring | 70mm, 90mm, 120mm, 150mm | 7-10% | Wider planks may require more wastage |
| Laminate Flooring | 120mm, 150mm, 190mm | 5-10% | Depends on pattern matching |
| Carpet | 3.66m, 4m (roll widths) | 10-15% | Pattern repeats increase wastage |
| Vinyl Flooring | 2m, 3m, 4m (roll widths) | 5-10% | Less wastage with sheet vinyl |
| Wallpaper | 530mm, 680mm (roll widths) | 10-20% | Pattern matching crucial |
| Fabric | 110cm, 140cm, 150cm, 300cm | 10-25% | Depends on pattern and nap |
| Ceramic Tiles | 100mm-600mm squares | 10-15% | More cuts = more wastage |

📐 Conversion Tips & Best Practices
Accurate Measurements
Always measure your space at multiple points as walls may not be perfectly straight.
Pattern Matching
For patterned materials, add extra length to account for pattern alignment.
Buy Extra
Purchase 10-15% more material than calculated to account for mistakes and future repairs.
Room Shape
Complex room shapes with many corners will generate more wastage than simple rectangles.
Professional Advice
Consult with your installer for specific recommendations about your project.
Documentation
Keep all calculations and receipts in case you need to order more material later.
Note: This calculator provides estimates only. Actual material requirements may vary based on installation methods, pattern matching, and room shape complexity. Always consult with professionals for critical projects.
