Hardwood Floor Drying-Mat System Sizing
Sizes the Class 4 specialty mat system that saves a wet wood floor without tearing it out: panels laid on the floor and pulled by a suction unit that draws moisture up through the boards. Gives the mats needed from the floor area and per-mat coverage, and the suction units to drive them. The mat-system manufacturer's coverage and unit ratings govern; subfloor construction and finish affect feasibility (ANSI/IICRC S500 Class 4 specialty drying).
Formula and source
mats_needed = ceil(floor_area_ft2 / mat_coverage_ft2); suction_units = ceil(mats_needed / mats_per_unit).
Hardwood-floor drying-mat system sizing under ANSI/IICRC S500 Class 4 specialty drying, by name. Field-sizing arithmetic, not edition-bound.
