How many design strips do I need

Flooring HUT: How Many Design Strips do I Need?

Are you confused about the number of design strips you will need to enhance your floor? It is a simple calculation once you know the size of both your room and your tiles.

By following these four easy steps we can help you determine the number of strips you will require.

  1. Calculate the size of your room.
  2. Determine how many packs of flooring you are buying.

Simply visit the page of the product that you are buying on our site and you will find we have a tool which calculates the number of boxes you will need. All you need to do is enter your room dimensions.

  1. Find the tile size. This can be found on our site in the production description or the additional information tab of the flooring. Then identify your tile size in one of the columns below.
  2. Calculate the Strips.

Multiply the number of packs of floor that you are buying by the number in the right hand side column. This shows the number of design packs you will need.

Please note: it is important to round off the number to the nearest whole number as the strip boxes only come in full packs.

The information below are for tiles with strips along all four sides for a grouting effect. Please seek advice from a professional fitter if you are planning on doing something different.

The information below are for planks with strips along their longest edge for a ship’s decking effect.  Please seek advice from a professional fitter if you are planning on doing something different.
