How to calculate floor area?

To calculate the floor area when you know the length and width of a rectangular or square floor, you can use the following formula:

Floor area = Length × Width

Example:

Let's say you have a rectangular room that's 12 feet long and 10 feet wide.

Floor area = 12 ft × 10 ft

Floor area = 120 sq ft (square feet)

Calculate Epoxy Volume

Epoxy volume = Length × Width × Epoxy Thickness

Keep in mind that all measurements are in the same unit.

Convert Epoxy Volume from Cubic Inches to Gallons:

$\text{Epoxy volume in gallons}=\frac{\text{Epoxy volume in cubic inches}}{231}$

$\frac{\mathrm{}}{}$Where 231 is the number of cubic inches in a gallon.

Let's do an example calculation:

Suppose you have a floor with dimensions:

• Length: 10 feet (120 inches)
• Width: 8 feet (96 inches)
• Thickness of epoxy coating: 1 millimeter

Calculation:

Convert Thickness from Millimeters to Inches:

$\text{Thickness in inches}=\frac{1}{25.4}\approx 0.03937\text{ inches}$

Calculate Epoxy Volume in Cubic Inches:

Epoxy volume in cubic inches=120×96×0.03937

Epoxy volume in cubic inches ≈ 452.31

Convert Epoxy Volume from Cubic Inches to Gallons:

$\text{Epoxy volume in gallons}=\frac{452.31}{231}\approx 1.96\text{ Gallons}$

So, approximately 1.96 gallons of epoxy would be required for this floor with a 1 millimeter thickness of epoxy coating.
