FAQ

Common Questions

What units does the calculator use?

All inputs are in feet. For centimeter measurements, divide by 30.48 to convert to feet before entering.

What is the minimum walkway clearance?

Standard guidance from interior design practice is 36 inches (3 feet) for primary paths and 24 inches for secondary passages.

Does the calculator account for multiple pieces?

The current tool evaluates one piece at a time. For full room planning, run separate checks for each major item.

Is the door swing deducted from usable space?

Yes. The calculator subtracts the door swing footprint from usable floor space to give a realistic clearance reading.

How accurate are the results?

Results are based on your input dimensions. Measure from wall to wall at floor level, excluding baseboards, for best accuracy.

Can I use this for commercial spaces?

Yes, though commercial ADA clearance requirements (minimum 44 inches on primary paths) differ from residential guidelines.
