In fact, with professional fitters you can keep wastage down to as little as 2%.<\/p>\n<p>To work out how much flooring you\u2019ll need, measure your room with a tape measure and round up to the nearest sq metre. Wooden flooring packs tend to come with 2 square metres apiece. You\u2019ll can work out how many packs you need on these measurements.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always advised to buy an extra pack, in case damage is caused to some of the planks (especially when laying yourself). By \u2018buying as you need\u2019 you risk turning up to the home store and finding the product out of stock or no longer being sold. Remember, if you buy too much, the chances are you\u2019ll be able to reclaim your money if unopened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fitting wooden flooring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are typically two types of wooden flooring in the UK, based on the way planks will fit together: Tongue and grove flooring and click-lock flooring. The former is much more difficult to fit and it\u2019s always advised to bring in a reputable professional, whilst the latter could be completed DIY. Find out more about both varieties below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tongue-and-groove flooring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With tongue and groove flooring, there will be a tongue that sticks out of one plank, slotting into a groove on the adjacent plank.<\/p>\n<p>Once the tongue and groove are connected you have to knock it firmly in place. A mistake can dislodge planks you\u2019ve already fitted. As a result, tongue and groove flooring installations can be quite difficult so it\u2019s always best to get an expert in to do the fitting for you.<\/p>\n<p>Planks will also need gluing together and using an insufficient amount can lead to gaps appearing.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flooring.quotatis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Flooring200-6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-20 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/flooring.quotatis.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Flooring200-6.jpg\" alt=\"Flooring200-6\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/200;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Click-lock flooring <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With click-lock flooring it\u2019s much easier to be installed with DIY and less is likely to go wrong. Click-lock requires a certain action to lock the planks in place and then it won\u2019t move or dislodge.<\/p>\n<p>Click-lock flooring also reduces the chance of gaps appearing because it\u2019s manufactured by machines, so is always very tight fitting.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage to choosing click-lock flooring over tongue and groove is that they can be unclicked if needed in the future, in case you need to get under the floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I work out how much flooring I need?
