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

Lineal/Square Footage Calculator

(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

(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

Fastener 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.
