Installing a new floor is a huge undertaking and will affect the entire room design. Consider how much foot traffic, sunlight, and wear and tear your flooring will endure. We suggest putting our stone composite flooring through a series of tests that you can do yourself. We are confident in the quality and the design of our product, and we want you to be as confident as we are.

The right floor for the right space
With so many options for flooring materials, how do you know what's right for you? We take a look at the best flooring for the different areas of your home.
Not too little, not too much.
Master the art of measuring so you can order the perfect amount of flooring.
Step 1
Determine the shape and layout of the room.
For simple rectangular rooms, measure the long wall and short wall, and multiply the linear feet to approximate the square footage of flooring needed.
For irregular shaped rooms, divide the space into segments where you can multiply the length by width and add each segment together.
You might find it easier to sketch a floor plan onto graph paper and add your measurements there.
Step 2
Measure and calculate square footage.
For each section of the room, you need to measure the width and length. In rectangular areas, you can calculate square footage by multiplying these measurements. If your room includes several squares or rectangles, multiply the length by the width for each one and add the resulting numbers to get the total square footage of the room.
Step 3
Account for your waste factor.
You should add a certain percentage to your order to account for waste. If you’re planning on a DIY flooring installation, you should include a waste factor of at least 5%. This will give you extra flooring to properly accommodate corners or angles. The final calculation that includes your room’s square footage and waste factor will let you know how much flooring to order.
