10% waste is standard for straight layouts. Add 15% for diagonal or herringbone patterns.

LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is the most popular DIY flooring choice. Check the actual box coverage - it varies by product from 14 to 24 sq ft per box. Always acclimate planks in the room for 24-48 hours before installation.
