Wastage Guide by Lay Pattern
| Lay Pattern | Recommended Wastage | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Straight / parallel | 5–10% | Minimal cuts, off-cuts reusable |
| Diagonal (45°) | 12–15% | More edge cuts, harder to reuse pieces |
| Herringbone | 15–20% | Short planks, many angled cuts |
| Chevron | 15–20% | Precision angles, high off-cut rate |
| Complex / mosaic | 20%+ | Maximum cuts and waste |
Always buy at least 10% extra and keep spare boxes for future repairs — flooring batches vary by dye lot and the same product may look different later.
