I'm trying to order these underlay floor panels.

Please can someone tell me how many packs to order for a room that's 13.5 feet by 13 feet?

I wish I was better at maths 😫

The room is just over 16 sq metres, each pack covers 6.99 sq metres, so you'll need 3 packs to cover 21 sq metres as two packs will only cover 14 sq metres - you'll have half of the third pack left over.

I make it you need 3 packs.

Oh thank you so much you two!

3 packs it is then 😁

To find the area (square) of a room you multiply the two adjoining sides, your room is
13.5 ft x 13 ft = 175.5 sq feet
Multiply 175.5 by 0.0929 to get that figure in to square metres=
16.3
If each pack covers 6.99, so divide 16.3 sq metres by 6.99
= 2.33 packs

Yes you normally add 10% for offcuts so 3 packs should cover it nicely
