The wastage percentage provided for wood flooring is intended as a general estimate based on industry standards and common installation practices. Actual wastage may vary depending on factors such as room dimensions, floor layout, installation patterns, and material defects. 

Matimco cannot guarantee the accuracy of these estimates for your specific project, and any calculations should be used as a guide. We recommend consulting with a professional installer to assess the precise amount of material needed, including any allowances for wastage. 

By using this information, you agree that Matimco is not responsible for any discrepancies or additional costs resulting from under- or over-estimation of materials. 

The wastage percentage for wood flooring typically depends on several factors, including the room layout, type of wood, and installation method. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Straight Lay Installation (standard rectangular rooms):
   • Wastage can be around 5-10%.
2. Diagonal or Herringbone Patterns:
   • Wastage increases due to the cuts needed to achieve the pattern, usually around 10-15%.
3. Rooms with Complex Layouts (irregular shapes, lots of corners, or obstacles):
   • Wastage can be higher, often 20-30%.
