Help with flooring

masterboy123

We have found a kronoswiss 12 mm laminated flooring of our choice.
There is a 1 euro per yd2 difference in price online vs at shop.

But online it says "Boxes required" and doesn't give me square yard. It does say AC5-box size 1.59 square yard.

We are looking for 77 Square yard for first floor and 62 Square yard for ground floor. So total its 139 square yard.
Doing the maths it comes at 87.42 boxes for 139 square yard area.

Question is would 90 boxes be enough? Or is there a waste during the flooring process?

Also there is an option for underlay sound proof acoustic 4mm at extra €5 per square yard. Would you recommend this?

Thanks everyone!

If you buy local you can return the unopened boxes.
Should be little waste but accidents happen.
You will need some sort of underlay.
Supposedly the hard board stuff is better but I've never used it.
Take the skirting boards off for a better job and get one of those z bars to make the job easier.

Thanks for the info.

Do you mean laminate beading with those Z bars?
