Wood Flooring Sanding Abrasive Quantity Estimator

Estimate abrasive units and packages for one abrasive format, machine and grit sequence segment using an observed coverage rate.

Inputs

Project inputs

Range: 1–100,000 ft2

Range: 1–10

Count only passes using the same abrasive format, machine and grit. Run a separate estimate for each different grit/machine/product.

Range: 1–5,000 ft2

Enter a job/crew estimate for this exact abrasive and machine. 200 ft2 is a placeholder example only; neither NWFA nor abrasive product labels establish a universal floor coverage rate.

Range: 1–1,000

Enter the count printed on the package; the abrasive unit may be a belt, disc, screen or sheet.
