The Lifeproof Flooring Calculator helps you determine the square footage needed for your flooring project using the basic area formula. It calculates the total area based on length and width measurements.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the area formula:

Where:

• \( A \) — Area in square feet
• \( L \) — Length in feet
