This flooring calculator works for Carpeting and Vinyl sheet goods or anything figured by the  yard. For example wood flooring and ceramic tile are calculated by the square foot.

    Flooring is a project usually left to the pros. In order to get a carpet tight without wrinkles takes a bit of skill, and a vinyl floor with mastic bubbles under it is not a pretty sight, but with enough planning and careful cutting you can install your own carpet or vinyl floor.

    Make sure to measure your room at the widest point, if you do not want seams it has to be the size of the largest area. Most carpet and sheet goods manufacturers rolls are up to12 feet wide. If your area has one measurement under 12 you can do the room without seams. If both measurements are over 12 you will need a seam in the flooring
