Frequently Asked Questions
What is pattern repeat in flooring?
Pattern repeat is the distance before a visual pattern starts over. It matters when seams, cuts, or adjacent pieces need to line up.
Does every patterned floor need extra material?
Most patterned products should be planned with extra material, especially carpet, sheet vinyl, tile patterns, and directional planks.
Can this replace a professional pattern layout?
No. It is a planning estimate. Patterned products should be reviewed by the installer before ordering.
