Laminate layout planner: every board placed before you open a pack
A laminate layout planner answers the questions a calculator cannot: where the first row starts, how the joints stagger, how wide the last row ends up, and how many packs that really takes. This one lays every board in your actual room shape, to the millimetre, before you have spent anything.
Free to try. No account needed to start.
How it works
Draw your room
Sketch the floor to your measurements, with doorways, alcoves and obstacles. The expansion gap is subtracted automatically.
Enter the laminate you are buying
Board size and pack straight off the box, then pick the pattern. Stagger rule, gaps and kerf are all configurable, in metric or imperial.
Read the layout before you buy
Every row, every joint and the last-row width, with the waste and the whole packs to buy.

What you get
Stagger and joint rules enforced
Minimum joint offsets respected, no H-joints, no staircase patterns, no warranty surprises.
No sliver rows
The room width is divided before the first row is placed, so a too-thin last row gets caught while it is still free to change.
Exact packs, not an estimate
The pack count comes from the real layout with offcuts reused, which is how planned straight lays land at 5% to 8% waste instead of a flat 10%.
Expansion gaps in the measurements
The 8 to 12 mm perimeter gap is planned into the laying area from the start, so the arithmetic comes out right.
Frequently asked questions
- What does a laminate layout planner do that a calculator does not?
- A calculator turns area into packs with a waste percentage. A layout planner places every board in your room shape first, so the starting wall, joint stagger, last-row width and offcut reuse are decided before the pack count is, and the number it gives you is a count, not an estimate.
- Is the laminate layout planner free?
- Planning is free without an account: draw the room, enter your boards, run the layout and see the waste, the pack count, the layout preview and the first two boards of the cut list. The complete cut list and its downloads are paid, as a one-time unlock for the room or a Pro subscription.
- Does it handle patterns other than a straight lay?
- Yes. Running bond at any stagger fraction, random stagger, strip plank, herringbone, chevron, basketweave and windmill, each with its own joint rules and its own honest waste figure.
- Can it plan several rooms at once?
- Yes, including floors that run through doorways. The planner treats connected rooms as one layout, which is exactly the situation where a starting line chosen in one room forces a sliver in the next.
