Order Random Width White Oak the Easy Way

Random width white oak floors look more natural and custom than single-width planks — but ordering the right mix can be confusing. This calculator helps you split your total square footage across multiple plank widths so you can estimate how much of each width you need.

How to Use This Calculator

1) Enter your total project square footage. 2) Enter the widths you plan to mix (up to five). 3) Click Calculate. The results are allocated proportionally by width (wider planks get more of the total).

How to Order Random Width White Oak

Most random width programs come in a fixed bundle mix (for example: 3", 4", and 5"). Confirm what widths your specific product includes and whether the mix is equal, weighted, or availability-based. Then:

  • Plan for waste: typically 5–12% depending on grade, layout, and install method.
  • Decide your pattern: true random, repeating sequence, or “feature-width” (more 5" than 3").
  • Check length ranges: shorter lengths can increase waste in large/open rooms.
  • Save your results: click “Save my results” and send your layout to our team for faster quoting.

Example Layout

Example: a 900 sq ft project mixing 3", 4", and 5" widths. The calculator allocates by width share:

WidthShare (Width / Total Width)Estimated Sq Ft (900 sq ft total)
3"3 / (3+4+5) = 25%~225 sq ft
4"4 / 12 = 33.33%~300 sq ft
5"5 / 12 = 41.67%~375 sq ft
