Cleat Coverage Calculator (from Total Square Feet)

Meters/Feet Conversion Calculator

Convert Meters to Feet

Example: 1 Meter = 3.28 Feet

Convert Feet to Meters

Example: 3.28 Feet = 1 Meter

Board Foot to Square Foot Calculator

Convert Board Foot to Square Foot:

To Compute square feet from board feet, simply find the flooring dimensions and divide the board footage by the following conversion factors:

1/2" x 2 divide BF by 1.25
1/2" x 1-1/2" divide BF by 1.33
3/8" x 2" divide BF by 1.25
3/8" x 1-1/2" divide BF by 1.33
3/4" x 3-1/4" divide BF by 1.23
3/4" x 2-1/4" divide BF by 1.33
3/4" x 2" divide BF by 1.38
3/4" x 1-1/2" divide BF by 1.50
Example: if you have 186 BF (board feet) of 3/4" x 2" wood flooring, you compute: 186 / 1.38 = 134.8 ft²

Bundled Square Footage Calculator

Find Bundled Square Footage:

(# of runs X bundle length in feet X width in inches) / 12

Example: if you have 16 runs of 2-1/4" flooring in a bundle that is 8 feet long, you would compute:(16 x 8 x 2.25) / 12 = 24

Lineal/Square Footage Calculator

Convert Lineal to Square Footage:

(Lineal feet x Width in inches) / 12 = Square Ft.

Example: If you have 40 lineal feet of a 2 inch wide feature strip, you would compute:(40 x 2) / 12 = 6.66 ft²

Convert Square to Lineal Footage:

(square feet x 12) / width in inches = lineal footage

Example: If you have 8 square feet of a 1-1/2 inch feature strip, to get lineal feet you would compute:(8ft ²x 12) / 1.5 inches = 64 lineal ft

Cleat Depth Chart

This chart is to assist you in determining the proper length of Powercleats® or PowerStaples® to use for various thicknesses of floors. Approximate vertical penetration of the Powercleat under the hardwood floor is shown for each application. This is only a guide. Results should be tested in the field before proceeding.
