Next, multiply your estimated square footage (C) by 1.10 to account for the 10% waste factor (for
cutting and installation errors), this will give you the total square feet required (D) to complete your
project. Make sure you round up.
Finally, in order to find the total number of cartons you need (E), divide the total required square feet
(D) by the carton square footage of the floor you are installing. Make sure you round up.
