The square foot calculator is helpful because it estimates the square footage of a room in several common shapes. Even if the surface is complex in shape, it may be possible to section the surface into simple shapes and add their square footages together. This is a necessary tool to get the correct measurement to get the right amount of materials for your project.
Using Our Square Foot Calculator
The two measurements you will need are the length of the room and the width of the room. When you are measuring the length be sure to measure the longest side of the area being measured. To find the width, locate the shortest side of the area to be measured. Here is the calculator.
The square foot calculator is a basic measuring tool however, we understand that not all rooms have a simple measurement. Sometimes you will have to account for odd room dimensions and additional areas that do not necessarily connect neatly. What you will want to do is divide the space into smaller sections. Measure each section separately and then use the square foot calculator to calculate the footage of each. Once you have completed all your measurements and calculated them , add up the total square footage.
For example: Say you have a rectangular room with a small square nook or closet attached to it.
Find the length and width of each section
Main room: 12 ft. x 10ft. = 120 sq. ft.
Nook/closet: 3 ft. x 7 ft. = 21 sq. ft.
Then, add the three values together to get the total square footage you’ll need!
Total: 141 sq. ft. of materials
